Once you get sheep from an expedition you have to build a pen and, as with chicken coops, an animial will appear and eventually reproduce. You then need to keep it supplied and guarded.

To keep livestock stafe from wild animals you need to make the pens away from the forest, and clear trees around them. You need to have hunters VERY close by.

If livestock are starving you need to make sure there is a warehouse with hay (sheep, cows) or a barn with oats (chickens, pigs) VERY close by. You also need space in a nearby barn for what the animals produce.

Water is heavy and takes a lot of work to keep supplied. Make sure there is a well very near your animals.

All herders take care of their own home (food, fuel, eating) before making sure the animals are fed and watered and slaughtered before they take things to the barn. Make sure there herders have a place to live near by with a barn with food and fuel (and preferably clothes and tools) nearby so they don't have to take as long getting their own stuff. Try to keep enough jobs in an area so that there isn't just one herder in a house full of kids or they will spend all there time taking care of humans, not animals.

Use roads, even dirt ones help a lot.

You will get more animals faster if you start with a couple of smaller pastures rather than one large one and you are less likely to have problems.
