The type of chlamydia that causes STDs in humans, Chlamydia trachomatis, only affects humans. Sheep do not carry it.
Sheep can carry a related bacterium called Chlamydophila abortus. This bacteria can infect humans, but is not sexually transmitted. You can get it if you are handling infected/aborted sheep or goat fetuses and placentas. The organism is excreted in body fluids including milk. Pregnant women are particularly at risk from handling aborted materials and drinking unpasteurised milk.
