Sheep can be grazed on land that's too sloped for cows. Beef cattle
can be grazed on land that's too dry for sheep. As raised in the US
sheep are mostly on the hiils. There are a lot of cows in dairy country
in geography that would work fine for sheep so there's the potential for
overlap but as most commonly raised there's little overlap in the US.
