Sheep may not seem an obvious choice for The Change Underground System. Yet with some thought, (thinking is a vital component of the System) sheep can be slotted in. They have many things going for them: manure, wool, milk and meat.

Depending on your location, miniature sheep would be an obvious choice. If these are not available standard sheep are still workable. On smaller blocks of land, wethers are the obvious choice. Products would be wool, manure and possibly mutton. However with such small numbers, these sheep would be more pets than stock and that would rule out mutton.

The other possibility, if you have access to a ram would definitely be milk sheep. They are easier to fence and control than goats, come when called if bottle raised and the milk is of a high quality.

You just need to define what you are doing and why.
