I use a corsican ram form and cut the mounting block out and alter it. You have to cut down deep enough behind the eyes to account for the bottong set of horns. Its a bit intimidating the first time, but once you get it done a few times it goes pretty easy. You will have to foam or bondo or mache the form back to shape. If there's an easier way, Id sure like to know about it!

We mount quite a few of those ugly critters. A four horn sheep is nothing more then a corsican with four horns instead of two. Most sheep in the barbado family (including Corsican, mouflon, painted desert, TX dall, and Hawaiian black) are interbred with each other anyway.

A corsican or mouflon form will work just fine. Make sure your eye to nose measurements add up.


bottong?
