Any connection to Jesus?

They were offered in sacrifice there.
The Gospel-writer John definitely makes a connection between the sacrificial lamb of Passover and Jesus. He calls Jesus the "Lamb of God" and has Jesus being crucified on the Eve of Passover, when a lamb was traditionally sacrificed.

Sheep would have been raised out in the countryside (hence "the fields" mentioned in the Bible), not within the city limits. There were no shepherds in the fields at all during the winter months.

Du-uh. The sheep were raised by a sheep producer. These same sheep were sold at wholsale prices to a retailer who in turn sold them to customers at the Urban Temple Supermarket in Jerusalem at a 100% markup price!

Jesus Christ was the perfect, sinless, spotless Lamb of God -without blemish- who was sacrificed for the sins of the world. All OT sacrifices were mere preludes and signs of the coming sacrifice of Jesus Christ. "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin". That's why Jesus stated He had not come to "destroy the Law or the prophets, but to fulfill". I recommend you read the entire New Testament, especially the Book of Hebrews, for more information
