The result would be another . . . (the 'J' word).

In order for anything to result, the chromosomes of the two animals would have to match so that they could join together to cause fertilization. As a cow's and a sheep's would not match, nothing would happen. There are very few species that can interbred, and those that do (like a horse and donkey) normally produce offsprings that are unable to reproduce (mules).

I'm sure someone's probably already tried that. I don't reckon it would work. It'd be like taking human sperm and putting it in a cow or sheep...........eww i'd hate to see what kinda baby would come of that.

They have already done it. The resulting animal can turn out a great milkshake , while knitting a jumper and churning butter. Few animals are genetically viable for the purposes you describe

nothing much would happen since the creatures need to be of the same species. however hybrids are mentioned in myth - the chimera which is a mixture of two (or more) creatures.
Now if you talk genes - it is entirely a different matter - mad (in my view) scientist have created chimera type creatures by splicing genes and putting them together. for example taiwanese created a flourescent green pig - why in the name of...!

sperm needs to be from the same species to fertilise an egg. nothing would happen unfortunately.

Nothing would happen. Those species can't interbreed. Mules are a cross between horses and donkeys, though. Ligers are real, too.

It would stop growing at about the 16 cell stage. Too bad.

If the poor cow was cold or 'friesian' it would get a nice woolly 'jersey'

They probably have a different number of pairs of chromosomes so nothing would happen.
