Finally got my mount

Beautiful mount!

Nice taxidermy work, to still look that good after a number of decades.

But...the OP said this was a pet on a farm. You guys are all talking about Dall and Desert Bighorn and such. Isn't this just a domestic goat or sheep?

No offense, not meaning to take away from the sentimentality of the mount, but it doesn't seem to be...and isn't being presented as...any kind of hunting trophy.

Doesn't matter.. it's still a beautiful animal 'trophy' or not. And a spectacular one. Also, bighorns exist from Canada to Mexico. I'll leave that to you guys to determine. It's a sheep lol.

It's most definitely a Texas dall sheep.

I agree. Texas Dall

Mount looks great! Congrats.

It looks like a Texas dall to me.

Haha that's awesome!

A tight curl Texas Dall. Unusual in curl, most flare, some flare quite a bit, like 30"+ wide. Nice memory I'm sure of a family trophy.

Beautiful ram. I've never seen a wild ram with a 1.25 curl and he was an old one 12-14yrs from what I can see in the photo. Wouldn't want to get butted by that guy on the farm it would be a billy goat X10 I would imagine.

Not sure. He died when I was very young. He was a pet on our farm. My grandfather liked him enough he mounted him. He passed in 2001 but today I was given the mount.

Thanks

Nice mount, that's a beautiful family heirloom, and a lovely way to remember your grandfather and the pet.
