The Series
This cache is one of a series offering a variety of "easy" puzzles. They are all (meant to be) puzzles that can be solved either using clues provided or online resources readily found using Google. The hides themselves are relatively easy – the key feature here is you are meant to use your energy on the puzzle, not the find.
In part, this series pays tribute to TR!'s "It's Puzzle Time" series, which is another great introduction to puzzle caches (thank you heaps, TR!).
Sheep
The sheep (Ovis aries) is a four-footed ruminant mammal. It is typically kept for meat, wool, milk, and the ability to induce sleep in humans by jumping fences. It remains a point of scientific conjecture as to whether insomniac sheep count humans.
Counting Cipher
In general, ciphers hide a message by changing or rearranging letters. In a Geocaching puzzle, however, cachers are ultimately interested in a set of numbers – the coordinates of the cache.
There are many ways to hide numbers. One is to have a number of objects – simply counting the objects will provide the necessary digits.

(E) "I seek many a cache hid low today!"
