  • It shouldn’t have broken bones or infected or injured ears, blind or have a broken horn.
  • His skin, woof shouldn’t be infected with any decease.

Here is also some tips from Wikihow
Step 1

Inspect the sheep you’re considering in a pen. Push your hands into the wool to make sure that the animal is well-fed and not emaciated. Pass if you feel its ribs, spine or hip bones sticking out.

Step 2

Examine the sheep’s hooves and make sure there is no heat emitting from one and not another. Make note of any odor that indicates foot rot. Closely trimmed hooves that are tinted green indicate a recent case of foot rot. Check a ewe’s udder for masses, lumps and graininess. Reject a ewe with mastitis.

Step 3

Separate the sheep’s lips and look for 6 to 8 teeth on the bottom with no incisors. Look for missing or broken teeth, or misaligned teeth, which indicates an older sheep.

Step 4

Test the wool for density and texture. Wrap a finger into the wool and gently tug out a bit as examine the color. Use coarser wool for rugs and finer wool for sweaters and other hand knitting.

    Look at a sheep and make sure it doesn't spin in circles, or if it looks dizzy, or if it has it's head drooping (not sure about the drooping part), since it might have a parasite in it's head.
