[Jacob-list] horn question

[Lorraine Nielsen]

It's wonderful hearing about all the lambing going on. We don't lamb until
May this year, so all of your pictures on your websites are helping build
excitement.

For Evelyn--We were first-time lambers last year. I remember thinking my
ewes looked due way before they actually delivered. Udders often harden
before birth and some ewes will look pink for a long time.

I have a couple of questions about horn growth: I have a 10-month old
4-horn ram who tore one of his lower horns apart from his head (don't know
how he did it!) I was successful in stopping the bleeding and he seems
okay. Should I let the horn slough off, or remove it? Will another grow
back, given his age?
