Other Sheep Hunting

**Other Sheep** is a broad category where includes various kinds of sheep that may not be easy to define. In many parts of the world, humans—either voluntarily or involuntarily—allow their domestic sheep to escape into the wild. After a few generations, these animals become shy and hard to approach. If their numbers need to be controlled, hunting becomes the only option. Hybridization and adaptation to new environments often result in feral animals that are quite unlike their domestic progenitors. Domestic sheep, belonging to the genus Ovis, are primarily raised for their wool, meat, and milk. They are social animals that tend to form flocks and develop strong social bonds with each other. There are numerous breeds of sheep, each with unique characteristics. Sheep play an important role in agricultural production across many cultures and are often used in ecological land management through grazing.
