Here, this is from the Wikipedia page:

"The Chinese word yáng also refers to both goats and sheep, whereas the terms shānyáng (山⁠羊) and miányáng (绵⁠羊; 綿⁠羊) also refer exclusively to goats and sheep, respectively. In English, the sign (originally based on a horned animal) may be called either. The interpretation of both goats and sheep depends on culture. In Vietnamese, the sign is mùi, which is unambiguously goat. In Japan, on the other hand, the sign is hitsuji, sheep; while in Korea and Mongolia, the sign is ram and sheep. Within China, there may be a regional distinction with the zodiacal yáng more likely to be thought of as a goat in the south, while tending to be thought of as a sheep in the north."
