[Jacob-list] two horned rams

[Paintedrockfarm at aol.com]

Just my experience...
 
I have a 2 horned ram who has produced 99% 4 horned off spring REGARDLESS  of 
the ewe horn number.  He is a straight two horn (meaning no fused  horns), a 
very wide horn set with good mass.  I only know of one two  horned off spring 
he has produced over the past few years and was bred to  numerous 2 horned 
ewes -- still producing very nice 4 horn sets in both ewe and  ram lambs.  The 
two horned ram he sired had his wide horn set and  is one of the widest horn 
sets I've seen.  He wasn't always at  our farm so I'm unsure of his history 
before then but, for the past 3 years has  only produced 1 two horn lamb.
 
Interesting, to say the least!  I can update this posting next spring  when 
his next set of lambs arrive.
