You can use some antibody detection kits for goat Ig, which bind well to 
sheep antobodies. Sigma (to mention just an example) sells a kit based 
in avidin/biotin and also the monoclonal anti goat/sheep IgG antibody, 
labelled in many ways.

Another option is to use "universal detection  kits based on recombinant 
Protein G, but the binding to sheep Ig is a little on the weak side.
