[Jacob-list] wether pictures.

[DAVID LEFEVER]

This guy's horns were about a foot long (very rough estimate).  the 2 horn
that we have here has horns similar to a ewe's only a little thicker.  I
guess the same could be said for the 4 horn..slightly larger and stronger
than a ewe with very strong horns.  Just thought it was interesting.
