I do all my own shots, too, except for rabies. I only do puppy shots, and choose not to vaccinate yearly, also with the exception of Rabies. I peel the label off the bottle and stick it to an index card with the information from the dog. I find this way easier for me to keep track of who got what and when.

Check your state laws. In Vt it is legal to vaccinate farm animals & feral cats for rabies without having a vet present. Vets get their rabies vaccines(and other vaccines including regulated drugs) fedexed exactly same as Jeffers ships (only use the overnite with added icepac). I've seen them arrive many times while at my small animal vets. I just retired from breeding dogs for many years and tho my pups were always vet checked I did always did 5way shots and they were recognized in every puppy I sold without exception as redoing them can harm a pup. I purchased thru Jeffers and never had a vaccine reaction nor a puppy with parvo/distemper ever. The vaccines always arrived cold with the exception of one late delivery which they replaced. I sent home a medical record with the labels of the vaccines attached, dated administered and my signature. What is the chance of your sheep biting someone? Pretty nil. I would do the sheep for rabies their protection (keep your receipt and your labels). Have the vet do the dogs and cats as generally state required (my large animal vet does a rabies clinic here and includes them cheaper than my small animal vet). I used to do the horses for rabies, but the risk is small here, if your risk is high include them also. Rabies is generally given one year apart the first vaccine then every 3 years.
