Default OT Sheep

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.



Not all sheep have horns. I have Llanwenog sheep and both the rams and
ewes are hornless. My neighbour has Welsh Mountain sheep and the rams
have great curly horns. The ewes have short stubby horns.

What you saw were probably two rams trying to decide who was boss.
