Caprids, or capridae. Sometimes eaten by canids or felines.

Actually, sheep and goats both belong to the caprinae subfamily, which is under the family of bovines:

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Bovidae
Subfamily: Caprinae
Genus: Ovis

However, these are all traditional classifications based on physiology and taxonomy. Some "rearranging" among the subfamilies and genus is going on with some animals due to DNA analysis which sometimes indicates different lineages than the physical body would have one assume.

Yup. Bovine. But don’t get excited for a nice steak off one.

Not pronghorns. They belong to Antilocapridae all by themselves.
