With regard to pigs, the Ernalda temple does offer the Swine Blessing blessing, which will help with the size of pig herds--but when they are already so small, this may not matter much.
There is nothing specific you can do about sheep. Basically unless you build up really large sheep herds early on, you can run low later. Although, as mentioned, the latest patch does increase the sheep birth rate, or something like that, to make this less of a problem. However even with the patch I've had a couple of games where I fell short of sheep late on (usually I'd lost a bunch to disease at some point, and never fully recovered).
Sometimes when you cattle raid you'll get sheep too. However this is not predictable or reliable, and once your sheep herd has collapsed in numbers this will not generally be enough to make any significant difference.
Herd sacred time magic will help all of your animals, but I assume you are already assigning all that you can there.
A really high score in Animals for one of your ring-members will help herd growth somewhat--especially if you can get someone there with heroic animals. You can increase Animals ability with the Uralda quest, or to a lesser degree using the Ernalda quest (minor impact on animals) or the LM quest to give knowledge to your leaders (each leader gets a bit better in their best skills it seems). But again, this won't help much if you don't have much herd left anyway.
So either you just deal with your traders buying sheep and pigs every so often when you run short, or else you tear down a bunch of your temples.
