[Jacob-list] more on the horns

Thu Jun 1 11:15:31 EDT 2006

>>If the horns get too far apart, then you have the opposite condition of forward tipped horns, which is also bad. In our flock, there is a strong relationship between forward tipped horns and split eye-lid defect.

        I have been trying to get better horn spacing and, sure enough, its the ram lambs with the best spacing that also have the forward tipped horns. I hadn't thought that those traits were related. Darn.
