I think this is impossible. But try drawing 4 squares on a piece of paper, then gradually filling the squares with 'sheep', and see if you can work it.
But it can be done ! # Draw a large square on a piece of paper,
# draw three small squares inside the large one but not overlapping,
# put three sheep in each of the small squares. # Count the number of sheep in each square including the large one.
# Then you have answered it yourself.

it's impossible i thinkActually, if you consider the unrealistic situation of concentric pens with 1 sheep in the inner-most pen, 4 in the next outer pen, 18 in the next outer pen and finally 4 in the next outer pen, there are an odd number in each pen (1, 5, 23 and 27 sheep in each respective pen) and a total of 27 sheep overall.
