Oh I see I misread your post and thought you meant putting the city directly N of the sheep so it couldn't split the corn. I think I didn't like that city site at first because if I put it NW of the sheep that clears a forest instead of the jungle and will probably orphan some coastal tiles although arguably that doesn't quite matter.
