Current Behavior

My shepherd would eventually stop shearing wool. Restarting my worker or changing the shearing option to off then on again wont fix it. I have to hire a new worker to have shearing work again.

Expected Behavior

The shepherd should always shear wool

Reproduction Steps

One thing i've noticed is that through all the sheperds i've hired, they would stop shearing once they reach Focus 13 and up.

My friend (server owned) did some tests. So whenever the bug happen, if we turn off breeding and feeding, the shepherd will restart shearing. We turn back the breeding, it will stop.
We hired a new shepherd, boost the focus to 13 and it would work properly, so we dont think it's related to that stat.
We rehired prior shepherds (those that stopped shearing) and yet again, we were able to force the shearing my disabling breeding and feeding, but once we turn back the breeding, they would stop shearing

from my experience the shepherd shear only when breeding and feeding is disabled.
with breeding an feeding on, sheeps getting killed drop meat only.

It is currently intended that the shepherd does shearing last amongst all their other priorities. This doesn't mean you need to turn the others off, but they will feed, breed, and kill all that they can before they start looking for sheep to shear.

There were some recent changes (specifically, 1426+) that should help with this, by reducing cases where they can try to breed more frequently than they should (and sometimes forget to do it entirely), which should give them more time to do other things.

As for drops, killed sheep have exactly the same chance to drop wool as in vanilla.
