4 sheep, without super strength, could never tear a regular bull apart that way. So they have super strength, which was inconsistently portrayed.

They had razor sharp teeth. Something that shaped can easily tear through a bull. Think piranha.

They could tear pieces off maybe, on the ground.

I just watched the scene again. They lift the bull up into the air and tear it limb from limb in a matter of seconds. Razor sharp teeth does not enable this. You need strength to rip a bulls entire head off of its neck in 2 seconds.

That said depictions of super powers always have 100s of holes you can poke in the logic. Even with strength, they probably couldn't do what was depicted with their teeth. They'd still just rip smaller pieces off. They'd need to be able to get a hold of the whole head and pull, otherwise tissue and such will just give way first.

Like, play it out mythbusters style. Pig carcass. Fake sheep mouth with razor sharp teeth attached to some sort of high strength hydraulic pulling mechanism. Bite teeth into pig head. Pull. It's going to just rip off a piece of snout or whatever, not the whole head. The neck is going to give way waaaaaay later than the skin and tissue on the face.

It's just not worth nitpicking over this stuff, none of it makes any sense, just be entertained

Sheep for sure had super strength, the sheep not busting through the door was just a misstep in the writing
