About
The domestic sheep is a common hooved livestock animal that stands roughly hip-high to an adult human.
Body size varies widely across different breeds, with meat breeds usually growing heavier than wool breeds. Males, known as rams, are generally larger and stockier than females, known as ewes. In full wool, a sheep often appears nearly twice as wide as it actually is until it is sheared.
From Wikipedia
Sheep or domestic sheep are a domesticated ruminant mammal typically kept as livestock. Although the term sheep can apply to other species in the genus Ovis, in everyday usage it almost always refers to domesticated sheep.
