Seconding this a lot. I really don't get people who don't like the breed choices when they're meant to represent "stereotypical" banyard animals.
I just can't stand the choice of goat, if we got a british breed that comes in lighter colors, it would have been a far better choice than what we got.
Because i would much rather have the breeds that fit petting areas in zoos rather than what represents a farm
I definitely want petting zoo animals to show up in the base game, and a sheep or goat is probably the most essential variety of barnyard animal. The Hill Radnor is fine, but if they decided to replace it with something like a Valais Blacknose, I wouldn't complain... and since s many people disliked paying for domestics as DLC, I think it'd be best to avoid all that by just including them in the base game. So, final answer is yes, a sheep is essential to PZ2's base game.
As far as the "results of the game as opposed to my own thoughts" go, would it help if in the original post of this thread I add a dropdown spoiler that would show the general consensus for each animal from everyone who has voted? For example: - Markhor (Consensus: Essential or DLC, mostly Essential)
I think that'd be best to catch people up to speed
Can be left out entirely. It's not even my bias against domesticated species talking, there are objectively better sheep choices. Maybe replace it with a breed like the Merino, or the Valais Blacknose for the cuteness factor.
It's not the best breed choice but not the worst either. And it's a nice basic looking sheep. I would say: doesn't need to make it but sure.
While we do need some "petting zoo" type animals in the base game, I'm gonna put this one in the Doesn't need to make it but sure category.
I would argue to the contrary. We do need them so we don't have to go through the pain of a dedicated DLC to them again
So let all of them be in base game, leave DLCs for exotic animals or at the very least interesting domestics like ankole watusi or yak.
Honestly I'd rather not pay a premium price for any animal that was in PZ1. Either add them all to the base game (best choice), scatter them throughout updates, or don't bother at all. Better to lose a few species (which will probably just be modded back in a few month's time) than to promote anti-consumer practices.
Doesn't need to make it in but sure.
That goes for the breed and species for me tbh. I love domestics but sheep aren't essential for my petting zoo purposes.
This is a weird one for me. A sheep seems rather useful and somewhat important for barnyard sections, but I think chickens, goats, alpacas, and donkeys dominate most of the zoos I've attended. Sheep don't really strike me as a core essential animal for a zoo game, even one with some barnyard animals. The model is beautiful, but I agree that the breed choice could have been better. I think I'd personally put it in doesn't need to make it but sure, but I could see it as an excellent choice for the base game or DLC, whichever has the other petting zoo animals.
I'm not saying don't put any domestics in the base game. I'm just saying this particular one isn't a priority for me. Like SuzieSky said above, other domestics seem a lot more important imo.I would argue to the contrary. We do need them so we don't have to go through the pain of a dedicated DLC to them again

How do you think it’s essential?
The animal itself isnt really one i think is essential to have for the game but the sheep is easily one of the best executed animals in the game, so it would be a big shame if they cut it.
So imo its the best approach to just put all the barnyard animals in the basegame instead of doing another pack focused on them. And then just sprinkle some domestics into the DLCs where they fit.

Well not all. The donkey and the pig and even the alpine goat can go and i won't miss them. Just replace the goat breed with another one like a pygmy goat and get rid of the other two and leave their space for other animals.
