[Jacob-list] training horns

[Mary Hansson]

Linda and all,

The year that Starch was born, the lambs slept
underneath the hay feeder.  I started noticing that
those wonderful horns were tipping forward and it
started when the horns were long enough to bump the
bottom of the hay feeder.  I locked those little lambs
out of that area and they were heartbroken----and the
ewe with the worst bend never lost it.  Those were
permanently bent forward until she died unexpectedly
this summer.
