[Jacob-list] question on horns

[Linda]

"evident" how?  Many four horned ewe lambs do not visually show horns at birth.  Two horn ewe lambs often show a 'swirl" in the hair growth that indicates horn growth to come.  Ram lambs always show horn development sooner that ewe lambs. Nubs on ewe lambs will more than likely become horns.  The hard part is getting good strong laterals :-)
