why was this tagged female? Both of them are guys as far as I can tell.

In the anime this is from, the gender of the sheep is purposely kept ambiguous, and up the the viewer. This particular artist draws the character as a female.

Oh?
I guess the Ayu subs weren't particularly accurate then, in which case I guess you're correct.

Umm, if you look it up, only male goats have horns, therefore Mei is male, this should'nt be tagged as female... Also, his voice sounds male

This is a great movie, a must see for every furry!

Uh, that's not correct. Most breeds of goat have horns on both sexes, with the males' being more prominent, but there are more than a few where the horns on males and females are virtually identical.
As far as voice actor, it's a guy's voice, actually, but he was chosen specifically because it's not particularly clear from the sound. In addition, "Mei" is a gender-neutral name in Japanese (which, as a pun, sounds like their word for the sound a goat makes), and the dialog always uses gender-neutral pronouns for Mei.
If they had intended to make Mei be unequivocally male, they very easily could have done so; the fact that they went out of their way not to clear it up means they clearly didn't want it to be clear.
That said, as far as I'm concerned, Mei is a boy.

Added a translation, though it's not accurate at all. It's in keeping with the plot of the movie, at least! ;D

Added a few little translations from what little I know. <.<

Yiff him, Gabu! Yiff him! >;D

On Netflix the English version mei is referred to as a she and her voice is a more feminine voice
