Rams can have a slight roman appearing nose. If horns are present and usually only in the case of the American Black Belly sheep they are quite impressive and a rack over two feet long is not uncommon. Some American rams are polled and most all ewes are polled. All sheep located in Barbados are polled or only have short scours. As you go down the neck is usually medium in length, and slender to the body in ewes.
Rams do have a heavier neck that is usually well set to the shoulders.
