Sheep would be a little lightweight to set off the heavier stuff, but
lightweight AP mines could be set off by sheep easily.

The would also be fine for pressure plate IEDs, tripwires, and some
other detection methods, but I don't think their body temperature is
high enough to set off PIR sensors.

The obvious solution is set the sheep on fire if you suspect PIR-fuzed
mines in the area, of course.
