Domestic sheep and the named breeds developed from them for wool, meat or both. Named "Sheep and Sheep Breeds" rather than the bare species-class name "Sheep" for the same exact-namesake reason as cattle: the plain name collides with the atlas own base-species entity named Sheep. Belongs here: the base sheep species and any named sheep breed. Does not belong here: goats, a related but separate domesticated species, held under Goats.
