I have the opportunity to get a jacob ewe lamb, so I wanted to ask some questions about them. She has 2 horns, rather than the typical 4 I have mostly seen. Is this a flaw to the breed standard? are they a wool sheep than needs sheering or will they shed thier wool?
also, my other sheep were in the pasture with my horses and did fine, but i was concerned where these sheep have thier horns, could they be a danger to the horses or are they good natured and shouldnt be a worry to have them around? i sure wouldnt want to be rammed with those horns, nor have my horses rammed, since i have seen a lot dont curl, they are more straight out and seem like they could do serious damage.
any advice about them would be appreciated. thanks!
