Sheep's tail" plural or singular possessive noun?

I believe that sheep is both singular and plural (same word). So the singular possessive would be "sheep's" and the plural possessive would be the same.

“Sheep’s tail” is a singular possessive noun because the apostrophe signals that the sheep is in possession of its own tail.
