Overgrazing of plant species is decreased because the cattle eat the grasses while the sheep eat broad-leafed weeds, forbes, and shrubs.
Because overgrazing increases albedo
studies have indicated that running cattle and sheep together helps keep predators at bay. Sheepherders now believe that coyotes are intimidated when cattle are present, thus drastically cutting sheep losses.
Both species have a powerful grouping instinct, sheep more than cattle. This is because they feel that they have better defense against a predator by grouping together, and feel less vulnerable if they are with other cattle or sheep than if they were alone.
Sheep tend to eat the grass much closer to the ground than cattle do. As a result it takes the grazing pasture longer to recover. In the old days cattlemen thought the ground would never recover so they ran sheepherders off their grazing land.
Yes they can be slaughtered in the same abattoir but not normally together - our local abattoir slaughters sheep in the morning and cattle in the afternoon.
