Talk to me about Jacob sheep!

Question: Can a 2 horned Jacob sheep parents have 4 horned babies?

2 horns is recessive to 4 horns so if both parents are truly 2 horned then no. There are cases where a parent has 4 horns but they are fused and look like 2 horns, despite genetically being 4, so they can have 4 horned lambs.
