I can't address the health of sheep's milk, but there's a great sketch of a 
sheep being milked in the Lutrell Psalter- the pic where the sheep are in 
the pen. There's a guy milking a sheep right in the middle.

I drank a lot of goat's milk as a kid too- we lied across the street from a 
family who raised goats. And when they went on vacation, I did the milking 
(and I think I could live the rest of my life without ever doing it again). 
But my older daughter, Anne-Marie (SCA Rotrude), is allergic to goat's 
milk, and breaks out in a very exciting rash. I've wondered if it had 
anything to do with my consumption as a kid. (pun not intended- it just 
horned in there...)
