What would you all consider a monster Red Sheep, Mouflon, Afghan and Transcaspian? 35" for Red Sheep and Mouflon and 45" for Afghan and TU's maybe? Bigger? Would love to see photo's.

Seen Red Sheep with shorter horned length but more mass out score the thinner with longer horn length ones.

I'd agree with Sheephunter ..and MASS makes a sheep a Monster in my opinion.

Agreed and it usually takes age to accumulate Mass....

This is a Massive Red Sheep. Still in the top 10 all time SCI. Was #7 for a long time. Remember...I'm 6'3" 235..For Sheep and goats Its ALL about the mass. This Ram scored almost 10 inches more than a very good ram that was 2 1/2 inches longer.

While hunting caribou an Alaskan guide told me. "We are looking for the perfect women. We will pass on the ones that have perfect tops and bad bottoms. We pass on the ones that have great bottoms and poor tops. We are going to take one that has great tops and a great bottom."

Now his advise on sheep...... I'll let you fill in the blanks but conclusion was.......Mass and length... mass and length.
