dragonsfly Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) My guess would be sheep or goat, ask a vet or get "down in the mouth". Apples with apples as they say. Most farmers could provide you with a full skeleton of both for reference (given a little field work) HNY, John Edited January 2, 2013 by dragonsfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Sheep, goat or perhaps cow, even. Depending on how young it is. I've seen some neonate or fetal bison material this size, although the curvature of the horn core is a little different from what I usually see on cow/bison. Here's a picture of a young, but not newborn, bison next to a young adult. Edited January 8, 2013 by RichW9090 The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".

ckmerlin Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) thanks rich and dragonsfly yes Im leaning towards sheep or goat , juvenile I suspect. I think the curvature of the horn also sugests to me that it may not be bovid rich Edited January 9, 2013 by ckmerlin "A man who stares at a rock must have a lot on his mind... or nothing at all' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
