The glad between their toes is a scent gland. It enables sheep to herf (stay in a per-defined area, without fences). As the sheep walk, the gland scents the grass and ground and the sheep smell it and can smell the borders of the land that they walk on (and stay off the land that that don't. I don't know if all modern sheep breeds are capable of herfing, but I know that some are.

Comparison of sheep and human pineal gland?

The pineal gland in both sheep and humans is a small, pea-shaped endocrine gland located in the brain, primarily responsible for the production of melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles. While the basic function of the pineal gland is conserved across species, there are differences in size and structure; for instance, sheep have a larger pineal gland relative to their brain size compared to humans. Additionally, the regulation of melatonin production may vary due to differences in environmental light exposure and activity patterns in sheep versus humans. Overall, both glands serve a similar hormonal role but are adapted to the specific needs of their respective species.
