[Jacob-list] 3 horned Jacob

[ARTHUR PARTRIDGE]

>Has anyone ever seen a true 3 horned Jacob?

=========
I thought I had a 3-horned ewe.  She was my first Jacob at a time when I
didn't know about Jacobs.  She came from an auction where the lady bought
two ewes and a ram because her son is named 'Jacob', so she didn't know
anything about the breed either.  Her husband decided that he didn't like
sheep, so I bought them.  I overpaid for them too, $200 each for
non-registered sheep from who-knows-where!  That's how it all started for
me, 14 years ago..  The ewe is nicely spotted on body and legs.  Later I
looked closely at the largest horn and it is actually two horns that are
fused along the entire length of the horn.  From a distance she looks like
a 3-horned ewe.  Maybe in some cases it would take a magnifying glass to
see the graft line on fused horns.
