What is the normal horn configuration?
A – Rams horns will grow up and out coming back down turning in toward the cheek. If you look from behind or the front of them they will have a kind of heart shape look to them. Sometimes with big rams the horn will grow toward the cheek and turn up and begin to curl out. This is all right as long as the tip of the horn doesnt go past the base of the main part of the horn. They cannot flare out like a Corsican or Barbado ram does. If they do, they are disqualified from being put in most record books. 5. Q – Is there any one physical characteristic that points toward the purity of European Mouflon Sheep? A – Yes! Many times they will have the right color and horn configuration, but the tail will be the tell tale sign if it is a Pure Mouflon. The tail of a Mouflon shouldnt be any longer than four inches. Most hybrids Mouflons will have a tail that is 6 to 8 inches long.
