The problem is that you have too many temples to support. Ways to buffer your sheep population include -- herd magic, good Uraldan on the ring, uralda temple, NOT eating yoru sheep in famine, large, large pastures (1.5 to 2x required space)...

Oh, and having fewer temples. Your sheep are being sacrificed in an orgy of religious devotion. That takes a toll on any clan.

Did I mention the temples? The problem is that your sheep herd can only be so big before it collapses from over-harvesting. Think of it as a renewable resource that you have to take care of, rather than something you just strip-mine.

What sort of causalties are you having? And the kids do grow up and become adults. IF you are getting your adults killed off fairly regularly in wars and raids and botched expeditions, then you may have a problem in that people are DYING too fast.

The number that they keep track of is DIFFERENT hero quests. Check the number of heroquests vs the Glowing Clan Rock on the Magic screen.
