There are different types of Salmonella. Salmonella hindmarsh is the most common, and can cause outbreaks of sudden death in ewes. Salmonella brandenburg causes abortions and deaths in late pregnancy. Other types such as Salmonella typhimurium and S. bovismorbificans can cause severe disease in cattle and sheep. Importantly, all these salmonella types can affect humans as well.
