Behavior
Grazes grass blocks (turning them to dirt) to regrow its fleece after shearing. Follows players holding wheat. A sheep named 'jeb_' cycles through every wool color.
Taming and breeding
Breed two sheep with wheat; the lamb's color mixes the parents' colors. Shear with shears for 1-3 wool without killing.
