Sheep are Ovine. And a bonus! You can learn everything you ever wanted to know about sheep here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep
BTW: No where on ( http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/sci/A0844790.html ) does it say that sheep are bovines. It just says that they are Ovis which is the member of the Bovidae family. That does NOT make them bovines. Bovines are COWS. Here is a website about cows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow
Now I won't edit anymore. I'm too tired to keep proving that Cows and Sheep aren't brother-sister related but more like cousins.
