There are two types of trans fats found in foods: naturally-occurring and artificial trans fats.
Naturally-occurring trans fats can be found in small quantities in animal milk & meat fats, and sheep milk is no exception.
Artificial trans fats (or trans fatty acids) are created in an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid. (e.g. margarine production).
These artificially-created plant oil trans fats have been linked to cancer and some medical professional recommended avoiding these. The same is not true for naturally-occurring trans fat found in milk.
