I'd say rams average bout 2-3% smaller than ewes if you don't include the horns.

-'''Sheep''' are common [[Domestic animal|domestic livestock]] available to [[dwarf]] and [[human]] civilizations. Sheep can be [[shearer|sheared]] to yield [[wool]], which can be used to make low-value [[cloth]]. In addition to the standard [[meat industry]] products, sheep also supply wool when [[butcher]]ed. ''Rams'' (male sheep) have two horns which they use for defense (and which your dwarves can use for [[craft]]ing); ''ewes'' (female sheep) can be milked, and that milk can then be [[cook]]ed or made into [[cheese]]. Until grown up, their offspring of both sexes are called ''lambs''.
+'''Sheep''' are common [[Domestic animal|domestic livestock]] available to [[dwarf]] and [[human]] civilizations. Sheep can be [[shearer|sheared]] once every 300 days to yield [[wool]], which can be used to make low-value [[cloth]]. In addition to the standard [[meat industry]] products, sheep also supply wool when [[butcher]]ed. ''Rams'' (male sheep) have two horns which they use for defense (and which your dwarves can use for [[craft]]ing); ''ewes'' (female sheep) can be milked, and that milk can then be [[cook]]ed or made into [[cheese]].

 Sheep are [[grazer]]s, and require a moderately-sized [[pasture]] to survive. However, sheep eat far less grass than [[cow|cattle]], making them an excellent base animal for combined meat, cheese, and cloth industries.
