[Jacob-list] six horned ram

[Debbie Bennett]

I have a five horned ram lamb out of a Red Wing dam. Looks like a four 
horn headset, except one top horn is extra large around and seamed. He 
also is a little light in color, but the spots he has are round and well 
defined. He has a couple of legs spots, too, which I like. His fiber 
looks nice and even and I'm going to hold him over and see about 
registration. I may use him next year.

p.s. I'd send a picture, but I don't know how.
