[Jacob-list] Breeding question

[Chris and Tina Griffin]

We just bought 6 more Jacobs on Monday.  Only one has 4 horns (ewe).  The seller told me not to breed a 4 horn ram to a 4 horn ewe or you take a chance of having a cranial birth defect of some sort.  Can anyone confirm this for me? We have another ram and ewe that we are thinking about purchasing.  The ram is a 4 horn and I have not seen the ewe yet.  We also have someone interested in buying a pair from us, so we would like to know if we should sell the 4 horn ewe whose markings are not so good so that we can bring in the 4 horn ram?
Thanks All!
