[Jacob-list] size of horns on ram

[Linda]

Do you know his background  - have you seen his sire/dam?  If they both have acceptable strong horns, then maybe it is nutritional (but I doubt it)
A yearling Jacob ram doesn't have small horns. Yearling rams will have horns way, way, WAY, larger than adult ewes.  I wouldn't consider the light frame  a red flag unless coupled with an unknown background and "dainty horns".  Jacobs are a primitive breed and a light frame is an acceptable part of primitive. Dainty horns on a ram is a different question.
