thanks MKay

does the resin stick to the horn alright?

Bit of an odd suggestion...but you could fit a ball with a hole in over the top & glue to the remaining horn. Its hard to tell the size but a ping pong ball or tennis ball may work. A Christmas bauble could look good! That would keep the debris out but let the horn inside grow over. Or a condom?

Brilliant! I think a ping pong ball might work well, thank you.

Love the idea of a christmas bauble not so sure he would be keen

I am now left with the image of a sheep inflating a condom on his head

Kanisha, i've just read this thread and am so impressed by your commitment and perseverance....as you write, what a learning curve it must've been... I (selfishly) really hope that i never have to experience this, so far I've just had the horn broken off at the skull - bloody but nothing like you've described - but if i ever wake up to more i'm afraid i'll be 'pm'-ing you immediately for specialist advice! Well done, and hope it goes on improving....

Thank you Brendon, as it happens the old ram fractured both his horns close to the base today after a run in with a younger fitter ram, I guess some never learn

Yeah it will stick to anything and is semi permanent. It will come off when the horn is regrown. Costs 5-10 per tube.use it to make a cast on the old rams fractures it will reinforce them.
