Yes. One of the first apps on Facebook that involved users interacting directly with each other was the poke. Game developers quickly piggy-backed other functions on the poke feature, and one of the first was sheep toss. At the time, giving the app permissions actually added a little "toss sheep" button next to the poke option.
But Facebook is continually changing how apps work, and it's been a couple of years since sheep toss was a default action you could do with your friends. Since it isn't available that way any longer, the developer of sheep toss created "SuperPoke." As of 6 May 2011, SuperPoke allows you to send a variety of images to your friends, including, yes, tossing a sheep. If you don't have SuperPoke in your list of apps, do a search for "superpoke", click the "Go to app" link, and click the blue box to approve the "request for permissions." Once the app loads, select "Throw a sheep at" from the list of options. A pop-up will appear, prompting you to select a sheep, a cow, a fish, or a chicken. Select "sheep", then click "OK." Then, to the right of that is a list of your friends. Type the name(s) of the friend(s) you want to hit with a sheep, click the check-box(es) next to the name(s) you want, then click the big blue "SHARE!" button. This will put a post on the wall(s) of the user(s) you selected, notifying them that you threw a sheep at him/her/them. It's not as immediate as the old mechanism, but it is what it is.
