    A fannin will have a tail that sorta resembles a fan. Not the Circular style but the old school hand held ones. "Fan-in"

    Dall sheep are "pure" white but are allowed a certain number of off-white hairs. Used to be twelve, I believe, but the number changed a few years ago.

    Fannin are thought to be the result of cross breeding between Stone and Dall sheep and are found where their ranges lap.
    I harvest carrots. I kill animals.

    Moon lake leh sheep are primarily Fannins. You can have a ram shoulder mount all white but the rams tend to have black tails and markings on rest of body. Very pretty sheep.

    If you want a dall you need to apply for tatshenshini leh. Anything else is not considered a dall in BC.
