[Jacob-list] Loss of a horn...Questions

[Linda]

I don't know anything about the showing, but if it was a true horn, it will grow back - not always in the same direction as before, but not disfigured.  It's just as likely to grow back with a nicer sweep or angle as to grow back disfigured (although I admit I'm not sure what you mean by disfigured).  Lots of ewe lambs will knock off a lateral.
