Can ewes have horns?

Just watching the tv and two lambs are feeding on a sheep with horns! Thought only rams had horns!?

Can ewes have horns?
Many types of sheep have horns in both male and female, but some are only horned in the male. Hill breeds like Scottish Blackface and Swaledale have horned ewes as well as horned tups (rams). Some types don't have horns in the male, either - for example, Suffolks (who have black faces and black ears).
Reply:depends on the breed of sheep but yeas most females have horns too. if you want to sex lambs you have to look a little more in depth!! if you understand me
Reply:Doll Ewe's do have horns. The males are the big guys with the mean looking two horned rack.
Reply:no, ewes have horns too.
Reply:Some breeds are all horned. I believe mostly the older breeds have horns.
