I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that type of sheep before. The ones we typically see in this area are pretty wooly, no horns, mostly white/whitish. I don’t know one thing about sheep. But your sheep are beautiful and look quite exotic. What breed of sheep are they and what’s their main purpose or use?

These are hair sheep. They typically have hair rather than fleece although they often grow and shed a fleece as weather dictates. The fleeces are not good for spinning. Hair sheep are grown for meat and the horns have a variety of uses including the Jewish shofar trumpet.

Drop dead gorgeous is what they are! OK you got to tell us the back story on these guys and whatever are you going to do with them?
Purchased in a reduction sale. Can’t keep em all so for sale. I’d like to share the genetics. They’ve done a little squabbling but are a calm group for now. My ewes are all bred so no serious fights. They are used to LGDs.
