[Jacob-list] question on horns

[Linda]

So the SUED in a two horned lamb would indicate that the lamb was actually polycerate?  Interesting.  So when you get a four horned lamb from two two horned parents, one parent might actually be polycerate, but not four horned.  Makes sense of some puzzling cases.
