Horn Appreciation

[Sanhestar]

I agree that the horn width is not in relation to body width. The horns grow a life long so will eventually become wider than the body.

I have a 14 year old wether with horns that grow out to the side and he has to cock his head first left then right to fight through tighter spaces where his  body would fit without problems.

Here he is on the right, age maybe 6 or 7 and already the horns are wider than the body.



I've also seen with intact bucks that the horn growth is much faster/more and they will have impressive horns at ages two and three already.

Look at these intact bucks. They are one year (the white ones) and almost three years (the Toggenburger) old.
