Not the best picture of Rasputin - that is the father of Herschel and all the kids born last year. Want to talk horns..... He also has an amazing fleece but you would not know it by this picture. He is one that takes two people to shear so I only got about half done before he had enough of me and this guy does not give me much wiggle room. When he has had enough he will TAP you on the arm or leg with his horn and you best stop because if he decides to give you a second tap he could easily break your arm or leg. So it is best to listen the first time. He is never aggressive to me but he does have his limits when it comes to me working him into a small pen. He will stand calmly if you hold his horns but for some reason I only have two hands. His personality is calm, sure and steady. He gets along with all and the ladies sure do LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him...
What you think of him??? Impressive is what I call him

Oh my, yes, those are very impressive horns! Then again, everything about your farm impresses the heck out of me :)

yes those are very big, wide horns, hope you have wide gates and doorways.
I love watching the big guys go through doors and gates - they know to tilt and also how to move through life with such grace. Imagine what it is like to be in a pen with a dozen of these big guys and me with a pair of scissors - gives new meaning to haircut day...
