[Jacob-list] size of horns on ram

[Tom and Judy Riddolls]

I have a yearling ram that I "saved" from going to the butcher, maybe i 
should not have bothered but he is really gentle and didn't cost much, and 
did what he needed to the first few days here....

but what i'm asking is what sort of attributes should you see on a ram?  He 
has very small horns, smaller than some of my ewes, and not a very robust 
body, but he has the right shape.

Could he have simply had a poor start?  he is active and quick witted (if 
sheep can ever be described as such) but thin and generally a bit of a 
pansy.  so in another month we will see if he is potent and if his condition 
is genetic or not.

does anyone know why you would have an intact yearling male with dainty 
horns and a light frame?
