Where are the little horn sheep?

[jberryhill]

I’ve heard of bighorn sheep, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of little horn sheep.

Isn’t it like wide mouth bass and small mouth bass?

1. They are too cool for the majority.

They hang out sporadically at each other's farms away from the majority. Unless one of them meets you and tells the others they can really REALLY trust you, you won't ever find out where they are hanging out on any given day.

They are the rejects of the sheep world, not your ordinary sheep. They can't just trust anyone to be around them, because they'll just get bullied if they are not careful. They have to protect themselves.

I made all this up. I don't know the answer. It sounds plausible though. Now, I want to know where they are too.

6. Are they allowed to join in the reindeer games?

You know, there are a lot of sheep in New Zealand.

Maybe the little horn sheep are in Old Zealand. So all we have to do is find out where Old Zealand is...

[Jamastiene]

12. They usually aren't allowed.

I'm in. Let's go find Old Zealand. Sounds like an adventure. I'd love it.

2. The word you seek is thinhorn sheep

Thinhorns - stone and dall sheep - live in Alaska.

5. Ah, and tinhorns live in DC, apparently

But, hang on...

THIS is the "little horn" sheep?





I think I saw one of these when I was up north fishing for medium mouth bass. Medium mouth bass are hard to find.

11. It's the diameter not the length that counts.

7. At the Little Bighorn River

10. Does that meet up with the Big Bighorn River?

In Delaware, we have the town of New Castle.

The colonial section of town is called Old New Castle, but I could never figure out why we don't just call it "Castle".

9. They might have the biggest horns but they aren't the cutest sheep. These are:

18. They are cute

What do they look like from the front?

[cbdo2007]

13. You mean the lambs? Or the mutton?

They both have little to no horns.

[jberryhill]

17. I got plenty o' mutton
