A quick google:
Wild sheep(mouflon) live 8 to 12 years in the wild.
Farmed sheep are killed at 3 to 6 years old (excluding lamb which are killed at between 10 weeks to 6 months old)
I mean, don’t get me wrong, humanity is definitely to blame for this, but I really doubt a domesticated sheep has the same life expectancy in the wild as a mouflon
You mean the domesticated sheep doesn’t have the instincts anymore to run from predictors? My dog also doesn’t have the same instincts as a wild wolf but I’m not gonna kill and eat them because of that.
I believe these sheep are bred for their wool
They still go to the slaughterhouse at a fraction of their usual lifespan
Oh the irony of your bleating 😂
Which probably still gives them longer lives than the average wild sheep

So that’s a resounding no.
