- No, it isn't.
- Why is "Where is the sheep stands?" not correct in English? Esperanto doesn't form present continuous with present + present, nor does English.
If you do want present continuous, then the helping verb "estas" is in the simple present, yes, but the main verb is in the present participle form, as in English (English: -ing; Esperanto: -anta).
So: Kie la ŝafoj estas starantaj? (with -j ending to agree with the plural subject, since participles end in -a and are therefore adjectives)
But more common is simply the simple present.
