I no longer use a two horned ram or a ram with bad horns for breeding. 
I have found horn traits to be very inheritable.  If I breed with a ram 
with a top right horn with a forward tilt, the offspring has a 
preponderance of top right horns with forward tilts.  I do not know why 
this has been true for me, but it is repeatable.
