[Jacob-list] Banged up horns

[Gotothewhip at aol.com]

A few of my yearling 2 horn rams have been playing a little rough.   One ram 
is a 1/2 Jacob.. has nice horns, but has peeled back several layers of  horn.
 
Is there a good treatment for this?  I have some Cut-Heal hoof  dressing for 
my horses, and it is labeled for goats and cattle, not a copper  based 
product, more of a penetrating oil.... 
 
Is this a good product, and does anyone know how this will grow out?  
 
I kept him a ram as more of a Science project... I bought a registered ewe  
at a sale, pregnant, but nobody knew what to.. Not a Jacob as he has a beard!!  
...A friend is buying him for dog food next year.... so he doesn't care what 
it  tastes like (does the raw diet thing for his dog) Anyhow, we are keeping 
him  with our 2 horn rams we have kept as show-breeding stock.... 
 
he actually has SEVERAL layers of the horn missing at the base.
 
I was thinking of feeding Biotin (again, it works for horses hooves) to  help 
for growth and repair... any input?
