Sampson was purchased and brought
home to our farm in March 2008.  For
an unknown reason he had very little
horn growth.  We believe he may have
been low in a mineral or protein.  You
can see in the picture above a horn
growth line (most visible on the bottom)
from when he came to our farm.  The
horn growth closest to his head all took
place in a 3 month period.  The farthest
in his first 8 months of life.
Yummm!  
At 3 months Jack is proving to be the herd sire we
were hoping for!!
