Not a sheep hunter but have done lots of mountain hunts when living in BC. In my opinion leapfrogging has its time and place but with a sheep size animal I would not go this route unless I felt it necessary. Distance, weather, bear population, number or loads were all things we considered before deciding what we thought was best.
When it came to deer and goat the option was one heavy load for the first load. Have a crap sleep in the truck, hike back, and bring out the last of the meat/gear.
If it was multiple animals or a large animal and we figured it was more than 2days to get everything out we leapfrogged it. We often hunted areas that had higher bear numbers then you find in Alberta so we didn’t like having meat left unattended for too long
Not saying it’s the best way but this is what worked for myself and others I know
