While playing minecraft on Xbox, I have set up a sheep farm to harvest coloured wool. It has been some time since I sheared the lot of them, and yet, they are all still bald (not totally bald, but spotty, I guess).
According to the wiki, a sheep that eats grass will regrow its wool, allowing it to be sheared again. I have not witnessed this behaviour yet. However, after reading the whole page I found that in earlier versions of minecraft, the sheep did not eat grass nor regrow wool.
I was unable to find anything on the Xbox Version page that indicates the status of this feature.
My question is this: Will my sheep regrow their wool, or will I need to initiate a breeding program to harvest a continual supply of wool?

Unfortunately, the Xbox edition is behind in updates from the PC version, it is comparable to version 1.0.1 (PCs are on 1.4.7 as of the time of this post). It seems that for the most recent version on the 360, sheep will not eat grass nor will they grow their wool again.
You'll have to start up a big breeding bay you were talking about for the sheep after all.
