    It's sheep because it can be either singular or plural, whereas the others need an "s" on the end when there's more than one of them.

    well done its one of the few words in the english language that has no plural.

    Husky the reference to one of your posts refers to the one on the vegetable shortage,You use the word lettuce which also has no plural.
