[Jacob-list] horn regrowth on adult ram

 No luck at all ! Our 2 year old Tenspeed lost his lateral when another ram knocked it off over a year ago and so far we haven't noticed anything growing.Speedy is just a little lighter headed !

Subject: [Jacob-list] horn regrowth on adult ram


InSeptember my two year old four horned ram had a lateral knocked loosein a ram fight. The horn was hanging loosely attached amid lots ofblood - pretty much sheared off at the head. Awhile back, I had goodluck with taping an injured lateral back on an 8 month old ram lamb.Since Belvedere has already passed registration and had proven himselfas a sire, I elected to catch him up and remove the horn. This hornswas sheared off pretty much at the head. I did not expect it to regrow.It's pretty looked like a scab for the last three months. I caught himup today and there is definite horn material growing - about 1/2"worth. I seriously doubt he'll ever have much of a lateral on thatside, but wonder what experience others might have had with hornregrowth on a young adult ram that sheared off a lateral. By shearedoff, I mean including the core.
