Obvious issues:

If sheep become sufficiently scarce, wolves have trouble finding them. Consequently, wolves will end up hungry: firstly they'll end up fighting other wolves for hunting territory and effectively cull themselves, or as they starve become unable to chase sheep effectively and die anyway.

Furthermore, you have to imagine population migration. Imagine a two-province island. The wolves eat all the sheep in one province, and either starve or move to the other sector. Either way, that sector becomes wolf-free. Surviving sheep from the second sector migrate into the wolf-free sector and flourish, and when the wolves realise the sheep are back in the sector they cleared out, they move back in, and so they go back and forth.
