That is really interesting and worth a bit of experimenting.  We have a 4 horned ram lamb with horns which will be like that as he grows but we had not considered using him.  Perhaps we'll give him a try after all !

Wether horns - I think their size depends on the age at which the lamb is wethered.  The only wether we kept to any age, Fred, had horns just like a ewe and he was ringed at a few days old. We kept him for about 5 or 6 years for his lovely fleece.
