Perhaps somebody countrywise can enlighten me?

Last Sunday while walking over the Shropshire hills, I noticed two
sheep head butting each other. Yet both sheep didn't have horns. I
always thought that rams had horns.


Aren't there some breeds where the rams are hornless? Or if one was
known as being a particularly "hard case", could the farmer have had it
dehorned to prevent it inflicting injuries on other sheep?
