[Jacob-list] horn question

[linda]

Does anyone know what the genetics would be on a two horn ram with tiny side scurs?  The side 
scurs were talked about on this list awhile back.  Most breeders said they had seen that, and 
the scurs would just break off.  I don't believe anyone thought it was a problem of any sort.  
I have very few two horned animals born here, so I don't have much first hand experience with 
this.  OK - my question is - would a two horned animal that had scurs, genetically be a two or 
a mulitiple horned animal?  Would he be more likely to produce four horned offspring than a 
two horned ram that never had the scurs?  As likely as a four horned animal?
