[Jacob-list] scurs

[SharHill at aol.com]

Hi all,

There was a discussion a while back about scurs.  I was too busy to jump in, 
but now maybe someone could clarify something for me.  I see the definition 
of a scur as "a small rudimentary horn that is not firmly attached to the 
skull."  Does this mean that a true horn never develops?  Last year I had a 
ram lamb whose side horns fell off when he was a couple of months old, but 
then grew back firmly.  Why does that happen?  Is it "normal?"  Is it 
considered a problem?

Thanks.

Sharon
