[Jacob-list] Ram advice

[RnS1260 at aol.com]

This is my first season breeding Jacob sheep. I have two rams, one has 
beautiful dark and evenly spaced horns and a sticking face. After sheering I 
found that he is quite freckled. He is also very friendly, which I try to 
ignore and tell him to go on. The other ram is nicely marked and such a 
gentleman but has horns very close to his head. We had to trim the inside of 
one horn this past season. I do have several ewes with freckling and would 
like to try to breed this out. I am considering starting over with a new ram. 
What would your advice be for me on my existing rams? I know I need to move 
on. Are they sellable or am I passing on negative traits? I want to do the 
right thing. Your advice is most appreciated.
Thank you,
Cheryl
