[Jacob-list] more on the horns

[Neal and Louise Grose]

In scientific terms, this is the "little pun'kin head theory".

I suppose you could also put the top horns fused on top of the head like a unicorn...

Rule # 1: Life is always more complicated than we would like it to be.

  >>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.
