Best sheep breeds

[Going Quackers]

I was wondering is sheep were naturally polled or if they disbudded them so that is good to know! And Babydolls are so cute!! Jacob seem cool but all the horns kind of creep me out

I am sure some probably do, but mine were born that way. Yeah, the horns on Jacob are a bit of a oh my but i love love love highland cattle and boy they have a set lol

Just curious, probably not getting sheep. But what are the best breeds? Mainly interested in friendly pets....

If you think that a horny rooster is vicious then you have never turned your back on a randy ram during the breeding season. There is a good reason that the ancient weapon of war that was once used to batter down castle walls and keep gates was called a RAM

I didn't even know sheep had horns!!
I don't have any experience with sheep.
Maybe someone else can help?

I think some do but idk if it's all of them because I definitely see a lot of sheep without them. I think rams do? But idk if sheep are dehorned like goats? Or if they can be born naturally polled?

It's okay though!! And thanks

Only certain breeds do. Like the Bighorn. Almost All breeds used today for meat or wool do not have horns.

Sounds like I should stay away from the males then LOL
