It seems to get complicated lol:

In Japanese it looks to be the same - the character by itself in Japanese means Sheep (hitsuji) but you add character for Mountain in the front and it becomes Goat (Yagi).

Honestly, Year of the Ram sounds cooler in English

羊 is the primary pictograms/hieroglyphics depicting the face of a long horned animal. I would say that given the natural biology in ancient central China, people most likely meant to describe goats as they were more domesticated with early human than rams that live in high mountain range or sheep that live in vast plains.

But if you ask me, I'd say it's cool to use the Latin equivalent: Bovidae

Unless it's a hoax, looks like MP Soundwave and G2 Laser Op/RID Scourge are the pieces for YotG figures. Saw this post on tformers.com (linked below)
