[Jacob-list] symetrical horns

[Linda]

Is there any research to indicate that fused horned sheep produce fused 
horned lambs?  My three fused horned ewes are young and only one has 
lambed - her first lamb is a ewe lamb with very nice spacing. I'm 
certainly planning on breeding/keeping the other two. I have a ewe lamb 
this year that has the same pattern as Precious - three fully fused on 
one side and two separate on the the other. Her sire and dam have four 
nicely spaced horns. If she'd produce for me like Precious has for you, 
I would be very happy :-)
