Leviticus 3:6-11

Sheep.Flock (Leviticus 3:6) includes either sheep or goats, but note that by implication only lambs, and not full-grown sheep, are to be offered. The ritual is the same as for cattle, save that the fat tail (another special delicacy, properly the fat lying close to the tail in certain breeds of sheep) is carefully mentioned. The offerer denies himself the pleasantest parts The old anthropomorphic view survives in the mention of the food in Leviticus 3:11. These words may have formed part of the ritual language used from time immemorial by the priest at the altar.
