What is the difference?  I thought polled meant hornless.  Does it have to
do with the presence of horn buds?  BTW, Gail, interesting you wrote about
your friendly, easy to work with, hornless ewe.  I now have 11 ewes and my
favorite is and always has been my 11-yr-old hornless or polled ewe.  Most
of her offspring also are/were friendly and they all had horns.  But the
side horns never grew more than an inch.
