They look like European mountain goats, like you get in the Alps ... if so, they are bullies who will pester you for food and threaten to wallop you with their horns if you don't cough up the goods. 
I pokes 'em with a stick I does.

Goats, and the easiest way to tell is the horns - goat horns come out of the top of the head and are swept upwards and back. Sheep's horns tend to come more out to the side of the head, and curl outwards.
Skeketally, they are very similar, and the shape and position of the horn cores is one of the clearest indicators. That and the pronouced slant of the distal articulations of the metapodials...
A haggis, BTW, is basically a sheep turned inside out...

This sounds like an answer from someone who knows their stuff.
I know its not a haggis. They look like this...
I will try and resize in the future
