Shiraz Sheep (Iran)

Shiraz mouflon is found in the reserves near the city of Shiraz, and south and east to the cities of Jahrom and Darab.  There is a rather dramatic difference between the Esfahan mouflon and the Shiraz mouflon.  By the same token, there is a rather dramatic difference between the Laristan mouflon and the Shiraz mouflon.  Generally the horns of the Esfahan mouflon more resemble the horn configuration of the Armenian mouflon found to its north.  The horns of the Shiraz mouflon more resemble the horn configuration of the Laristan mouflon found to its south.  Over time, the Shiraz and Esfahan mouflons seem to have developed their own distinct characteristics and warrant separate trophy classifications.
