Right-click dogs to make them sit.

Also, if you dye a sheep you will have an endless supply of colored wool and the offspring of that sheep will be that color. Its a more economical than dying already sheared wool. If you mate two sheep of the same color the offspring is guaranteed to be of the same color as the parents, two different colored sheep will have a 50% chance of offspring of one color or the other. I try to put sheep of one color in one pen so the ranch comes out looking a bit like a living crayon box

The “mo’ creatures” mod has zillions of tameable critters including horses that you can ride, cats, turtles, goats and whatnot. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/81771-v110-mo-creatures-v322-with-goats-jellyfish-mantarays-and-stingrays/)

The wierdest and coolest thing I have done with farming and ranching is the slow and tedious luring of various animals to an underground farm (where I am also growing wheat, trees, pumpkins and melons). I build these things by mining out the baulks in a branch mine and fitting them to scale for the trees and so on. Now that apples drop more frequently from oak trees shearing the leaves or bashing them makes an oak farm into an apple orchard… digging out a little well as a fishing pond can turn a mine into a dwarven ranch.

Still loving the show.. I guess my handle made problems for you so just call me Matt and not Karnack. Still loving the show. Did you try recycling gravel, it still works (1.1+). I also found texture packs that yield 3-4 chickens per-egg for every 12th toss and every newborn is different colored (not important, but fun to eat Rhode Island Red and then slay zombies with its feathers..)

I have a huge old-style “Midwestern” style farm for harvesting pigs, crayola sheep, cows, chickens, and cane… i cheat a bi with an automatic harvester (ala one of your shows) for wheat and too busy mining for pumpkins and melons (have seeds, just not yet building the farm….._) I usually like to play in desert or snowy places… but some of what I built may be interesting.. I would be happy to take you through it as a server and even offer you the map.

I’ve not launched my 30 snowman army and only one creeper explosion,. but the place is sweet…

Anyway I have a face for radio
but a voice for it too
so if you are interested in my tiny, humble, newbie-based endeavor…
let me know…
