Liver flukes are a type of flat worm that feeds on blood. As is probably assumed they get into the liver of the sheep. While they are there the adult flukes lay eggs and the eggs pass into the intestines. Liver flukes are not just found in sheep, but can be found in any mammal. Yes, humans are a part of that list.

They eat metacercariae (one part of the liver flukes life cycle) on the grass. These then encyst in the intestine and migrate to the liver in about six weeks
