He said to Hu Shen with some hesitation.

With so many lambs, the population could multiply several times over in the coming year. If they eat them now, hunting will become even more difficult for them next year.

The current wild animal cubs are crucial to their future food supply.

“These aren’t for eating; these sheep are for raising,” Da Qing said, squeezing into the group after hearing Ying Jie’s words.

"Raise?" The beasts were stunned.

Apart from Hu Shenyingjie and others who had stayed on the farm and knew that wild animals could be kept in captivity, the other animal owners found it unbelievable.

“But it would be better to let them live in the forest on their own,” one of the orcs said, puzzled.

"Yeah, isn't it the same if we go hunting? Can this feed us?"

Orcs did consider raising wild animals, but the wild animals they raised were very wild, which would not only hurt orcs and run away, but would also freeze to death during the snowy season.

If not properly cared for, they will become extremely thin, and the more they are cared for, the thinner they become.

When the following year came, it was all for nothing.

Skilled orcs would leave behind excess live prey and freeze them to death during the snow season, thus preserving the prey for a long time without spoiling it throughout the entire snow season.

But those prey have no fat or grease left.

Orcs prefer to eat their prey early to store fat, as eating them is the most secure way to preserve their health.

Knowing their concerns, Su Tang took the opportunity to explain:

"These sheep have short legs, so as long as a sheep pen is built, they will not easily escape. Their wool is thick and can keep them warm in the snowy season. The wool can also be cut off and made into clothes the following year."

"Sheep have a simple diet; they just need to eat grass. If they can be raised in enclosures, they can grow up in a few months."
