This will vary greatly depending upon what area of the world you are looking
at. Animals in the Middle East and similar areas will consume a different
diet than those in, for example, northwest Europe. What area are you
interested in?
I would also add that if you are interested in your local area, you should
get in contact with a local sheep/goat herder or a local university
veterinary field station. They can give you a much better idea what of what
goes on than any book or article. :)
