I promised that I would post the focus macro that I use to sheep things.
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/clearfocus [button:2]
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,noexists]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/castrandom [target=focus] Polymorph(Rank 4), Polymorph(Rank 1: Pig)
The way it works is that left-clicking on the macro (or hitting the key assigned to the button you've put the macro in) will check to see if your current focus target (your last sheep) is dead. If it is, it changes your focus to your current target and sheeps it. If your current focus is still alive, it simply resheeps it without changing your target. So you can resheep in the middle of nuking something else, and then go back to nuking without having to ever change your target away from what you're nuking. Very handy.
If you right-click on the macro, it changes your focus to your current target and sheeps it. This is useful when, for whatever reason, you need to change what you're sheeping.
It really helps if you have a way to keep an eye on your focus without having to keep it on your screen. That way, you can have your back to your sheep and still know when it breaks so you can quickly resheep it. The way you do this is with a focus frame (similar to the frame that pops up when you target something). The default UI does not have focus frames, so you need something like XPerl to display them.
Oh, and change the last line to whatever your preferred polymorph spell is. I like variety, so I use /castrandom, but /cast works just fine if all you want is your turtle.
