Bleach is an agent that removes dyes, so what you have isn’t a stain, but actually the beginning of the removing of whatever natural dyes are in the sheep’s wool. What you should do is have the entire rug washed to remove any bleach residue, then have the rug redyed in the bleached area so it matches the rest of the rug. Getting out all of the bleach is very important, as bleach can damage wool. If it is in the budget, have this work done by a pro as sheep skin rugs are tricky. Sometimes they are chemically treated before sold, and this can affect the outcome of any cleaning and dying that you do.
I don’t know that you can fix this! Bleach changes the color by a chemical reaction, and I’m not so sure you can reverse it.
I’m thinking you might try to dye it to match the surrounding area.
