The normal temperature range for sheep is 100.9 - 103.8 F. It appears that your one sheep had a bit of a high temperature. If the sheep is also showing signs of illness (For Example: stuff coming out of their nose, coughing, not eating well, or having diarrhea), then it would be best to have that one seen by a vet doctor. If the sheep is acting normal, then the temperature rise may be due to a high outside temperature. Sheep will adapt during warmer times of the year and have a high temperature, but it should not be too high (like over 105F), or they can get heat exhaustion or stroke. I hope that helps and all is well with your sheep.
