Hi all,
=20
The last time I had a biology class, we were taught that ANTLERS =
re-grow and re-generate. HORN does not. We see this in our pastures =
and in our farm life. End of discussion. Why have we been wondering if =
this article might have a change in the central biology of sheep that we =
never caught on to? The article was false whether from the point of the =
author (sorry any journalists out there, but I have yet to see an =
article that I was involved in get printed with 100 % accuracy) or from =
the point of the teller.

When making buttons out of the solid ends of the horns (as well as =
from deer antlers), what type saw does one use, and then how are they =
polished? Anybody out there making buttons? I occasionally see them =
sold.
