There are 50 bones in the skeleton of a sheep.
Sheep give us wool, which is used to make clothing, blankets, and other textiles. Sheep also provide us with meat for consumption, as well as lanolin, which is a waxy substance used in cosmetics and skincare products. Additionally, sheep can be used for milk production.
I believe they come from the hock joint (what would be the ankle in a human) of the hind leg of a sheep or lamb. My butcher tells me that they are often left behind when the animal is skinned, hence not readily accessible in his shop. He has his own sheep and has offered to save the knucklebones for me when next he slaughters any. I want to teach my grand-daughter how to play the game that I enjoyed as a child.
Only in a very few instances does the remnant of a sheep's fibula occur. It is quite rare but may be present in 5% or less of animals. The bone is usually fully detached (floating) and very thin similar to what one might see in a chicken leg.
It is not recommended to feed chicken bones to dogs, as they can splinter and cause internal injuries. It is best to purchase dog-safe treats and bones from pet stores or reputable online retailers instead.

Between the bones and the skin
Sheep typically have around 54 to 56 bones in their skeleton, although this number can vary slightly based on factors like breed and individual variations. The skeletal structure includes the skull, spine, limbs, and ribcage, all contributing to their overall anatomy. Like other mammals, sheep have a combination of long bones, short bones, and flat bones that support their body and facilitate movement.
