Maybe a more experienced member will correct me, but that sure isn’t a North American sheep.

Marco Polo or Argali perhaps?

Judging by the size of the skull I’d say no
More like a domestic or a Texas dall

A Marco Polo is going to have bigger bases that a bighorn
Like 17” plus

Hard to say with with nothing to reference the actual size of the skull and horns. Sure looks like a Marco Polo though.
