SD-2008.12.31#055.3. It always made me take pause and wonder how sheep like this had the accident that broke and caused the malformation of their horns. It's common in a larger group of sheep that one or two show this type of injury. There was another Ewe not far from this one that had a broken horn. This Ewe is along Turnagain Arm south or Anchorage Alaska.

Three different years at this place when I saw sheep get into the alders, they wouldn't leave for a week or two.
