Major update

Sheep Update NOW LIVE | Sheep and Lambs, Shearing and Milking

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello ranchers,

We're excited to announce that sheep are now available in Ranch Sim!

You can now purchase, raise and tend to sheep and lamb on your ranch. Make sure to shear the sheep and sell the wool for a profit, or milk them and make cheese! Alternatively, slaughter the sheep for meat to sell to the general store or the Best Burger restaurant for funds.

This new update also adds the ability to produce sausages and meatballs from goat meat.

Patch Notes

  • Added sheep

  • Sheep can be sheared

  • Trimmer (for sheep shearing) added to general store

  • Sheep and Goat meat can now be processed into Sausages and Meatballs

  • Sheep can be milked and that milk can be turned into Cheese

How to Shear Sheep

You'll need to purchase trimmers from general store - once you've picked up the trimmers, this unlocks the ability to shear sheep. It doesn't need to be equipped in the action wheel. Approach sheep and you'll see a prompt to shear.

How to Milk Sheep

You can milk female sheep in the same way you milk a cow. However, you will need to use a small bucket for this or the milking machine. You can use this milk to produce cheese, and add mould to the cheese to increase the value.

Up Next for Ranch Sim

Our focus is now moving onto our fall update, which will add a host of additional decoration and building items, enabling you to make your ranch feel more like a home.

We will also be updating the in-game economy, in particular around the selling of goods. Adding systems which change prices based on supply and demand, making the in-game economy more engaging.

Thanks,

The Ranch Sim Team
