Much like it was on Twitter, this sheep remains an Exmoor Horn ram, owned by G.F. Thorne of The Barton, Simonsbath, Minehead, Somerset. (P FS PH1/K90651)

I first read that as emperor horn ram, and that tracks too

nice. do you have an account on mastodon as well? if so, drop the link!

it was obvs fed on Somerset scrumpy.

A ram built on very much the same lines was encountered by our weineraner on a Scottish track. Totally stood him down. I think the dug had nightmares about it forever. It should be noted that the Scottish variant is not well groomed and shampooed

I know that it’s not, but I’m choosing to believe that the gentleman’s surname is “Thorne of The Barton.”
