[Jacob-list] Horns

[Chovhani]

Horns as pitchfork, how delightful! We currently have a two-horned ram, 
he has been picking fights with our polled Hereford bull for two days 
straight. It is the bull who backs down. I can only think the horns 
intimidate him, because he must weigh ten times that of the ram.
