i've got a flock of 40 hebs.only the rams registered.
we've got about 20 with topknots,10 polled,some with 2 horns & 1 4 horned ewe,she's got a ram lamb with a huge topknot & 4 little horn buds.just wondered how rare that was.
cheers

Oh kelpy what a crying shame your ewes are not registered.  Topknots in registered ewes are rare, and the tup lamb with a topknot is interesting (check him for split eyelids though). There are VERY few registered polled Hebs, none of them tups.  However, these traits are not such rarities in other breeds and their prevalence in your unregistered flock could just mean that there is some blood from another breed in there.
Have a peep at our website www.scothebs.co.uk
