Development cards maybe?
Have you thought about getting a sheep port and/or freebasing devo cards?
Your first mistake is thinking you have "too" many sheep. He who controls the sheep controls the universe, let the sheep flow.
i used to play catan a lot when i was in college. assuming you are playing the vanilla version i can supply some advice.
obviously you want to put your settlements on good numbers, that much should be obvious. in my experience there are two basic routes: brick/wood & wheat/ore/sheep.
brick/wood involves simply expanding as much as possible as fast as possible. with brick/wood you might want to go for longest road...which is always good for victory points. by building lots of roads and settlements you can gain access to more resources and then win by outpacing everybody else.
the ore/wheat/sheep option relies more on getting development cards and improving the settlements you have. it has the advantage of being very self contained, meaning you don't have to worry about other people blocking your roads or snagging the settlement nodes you want. development cards are really good, if you can get them in droves you are in a strong position.
2:1 ports can be a great way to make up for a lack of certain resources. in general the game has a lot of chance so there is no specific way to ensure victory but in my experience either brick/wood or ore/wheat/sheep is the way to go. i have a feeling that ore/wheat/sheep is better because brick/wood slows down once you run out of room to expand.

Godtier screenshot right there.
Option 1: Place on wood and brick. Get longest road and hold it across all comers. Trade other people what they need for their paltry expansion in exchange for what you need to build going forward.
Option 2: Try to get heavy wheat/stone and build upwards with cities for more resources and development cards. Get Largest Army if you can.
Option 3: Get insane access to one resource and its 2:1 harbor for a balanced out/up strategy. Not likely on the standard map, but on a random map, totally valid.
Anyone in here got wood for sheep?
