Hmmm, maybe we need to come up with (or re-discover) some 'alternate' common animals.

Well, the sheep should have Piteous Bleat (-2 to slaughtermen's Will saves for 1d6 turns, unless they have had 1+ years' experience) at will, and the ewes should have Expeditious Retreat 3/day when with lambs.

Cows are large farm animals noted for milk and meat.
COMBAT
Generally inoffensive, cows attack only if they or their calves are directly threatened. They use their trample attack only if their calves are threatened. To defend themselves, they merely use their butt attack.
Trample (Ex): Against Medium-size or smaller creatures, a cow can trample, dealing 1d6+1 points of damage. A trampled creature can choose to make a Reflex save (DC 8) to halve the damage or make an attack of opportunity against the cow (but not both).

Tank You, Tank You Very Much! (takes a bow)
Thanks. I tried to make it relatively weak for its size.

The Bull .. well I guess sometime, but I'm thinking more prehistoric animal - elasmothere, eohippus, chalicothere, or something of that nature.
This uses MM2, not savage species, rules on skill points and feats.
Here's the Chalicothere :

A chalicothere is a large creature resembling a cross between a forest sloth and a horse. It has a horselike head, and its forelimbs are tipped with large claws. The creature is stupid and slow-moving.
COMBAT
Chalicotheres attack only if their lives are threatened or their territories are invaded. If defending its territory, 5 pounds of fresh plant matter thrown to a chalicothere has a 50% chance of distracting it.
The chalicothere can use its knuckles to move at a rate of 20 ft., but cannot attack in any such round.
Knockdown (Ex): If a chalicothere scores a critical hit, it does not deal multiple damage due to its rather blunt claws; it simply knocks a victim of one or more sizes smaller than itself down. Knocked down victims must spend a move-equivalent action standing up.
This uses MM2, not savage species, rules on skill points and feats.

I agree on Wis 12. Not that that helps at this stage.
Whatever happened to Khisanth, anyway? Very enthusiastic, IIRC.
Demiurge out.
