    This is a found skull, here in Hawaii. I think it is a corsican ram. It has a total spread of 25" and both horns are over 33 1/2" . The left one's circumference is 11 1/8" and the right one's is 10 3/4". Thanks for your opinions.

    I found one here in south Mississippi on our hunting lease. That is similar to this set except more twist. I'm glad you posted it. I am curious myself as to the value of the skull.

    Unfortunately being a domestic breed there simply isn't much value to them. Ranches around here would charge $500 to shot one that size or you can find them all over CL or eBay in the hundred dollar range. A cool find though, I'm never that lucky. Mark

    Looks more like a Merino Ram, I see them on EBay and here on Taxi.net go from $40 to $80

    Both side are hollowed out on the ends but they still measure 36 1/4 on both sides and about 27 tip to tip

    Kurt those most likely are Merino or Rambouliet (sp). Usually white in color and very wooly. They typically will develop quickly into double curls. A nice set for sure, but same applies as far as value. They may go for a bit more based on the size. A great find though for sure. Mark

    I'm think I would e not interested in getting a cape that's why I was trying to figure out species. Thank you for you expertise. I honestly can't tell difference in shape of horns for goat/sheep species

    I think that I would be more interested in getting a cape and making a comp piece than selling horns unless price was right. They are by far largest I've seen

    Ewwwwww never mind those things are UGLY!! I think it will continue to be a skull mount as long as I have it. I will say after looking up pictures the horns look different than those ram to me. Also they grow together in middle which is odd

    The one you have Kurt-o would deffinatly have some neck rubs and face hair mess with the tight inward curl to the neck and face. Also would have been a pain to cape out, mounted a few of those, real mess when they come in but clean up nice and white if you use the right tannery.
