Next door to the wedding venue in Poland was a small farm with sheep... er goats. While posting their photos I had to go searching for how to tell the difference. I thought I knew, but those horned sheep threw me off. It turns out that occasionally it's confusing. This will help:
* Sheep have wool while most goats have hair that doesn't need shearing, except for Caribbean goats.
* Male and female goats have beards.
* Sheep tails point down while goat tails point up.
* Most sheep lack horns except for Merino sheep.
* The upper lip on a sheep is grooved and on a goat it is not.

Okay... the animals in photo 1 are sheep, the horned ones, Merino rams.  Confirmed by Mr. Google.

The last two photos are mixed groups. It looks like the brown ones are goats.
