European Mouflon --$1,500 Shoulder height 26-30 inches. Weight 70-100 pounds. One of the world's smallest wild sheep, resembling a slim domestic sheep except that it has a normal coat of hair, any wool being concealed beneath it. Upper parts are reddish brown with a pale, almost white, saddle patch in the winter coat. Under parts, rump, lower legs and muzzle are white. There is a dark neck riff but no bib. The male's horns usually grow in a tight circle, with the tips turned inward toward the face and broomed back to about a three-quarter curl. In a purebred European mouflon, the tip to tip spread should not be the widest spread. |
