Taming bug.

[kris_hole]

So if you use the heard bug (not sure if it's a bug or not) where after you use quell, you walk off to de-aggro the heard, come back and re-aggro the heard in order to get the animal you'retaming to re-agro you faster, you will always get a male. At least that seems the case, 4 sheep and 3 cows using this method returned males. Then the first time I did it properly got females.

I've gotten both male and female sheep from using this bug.

perhaps i'm just incredibly unlucky then.

what is the bug?

anyways, try taming 8 bulls in a row without any tricks before calling yourself incredibly unlucky.

Yes. I've tamed many, many animals in W6 and a little less in W7 (due to moving constantly, I had to) and I've ALWAYS used this bug.
I'm incredibly lucky though, I get a pair in the first, or second try.
