[blackbelly] horns/scurs

[Rick Krach]

Bobbie, do not be confused about horns. Yes, common sense says that scurs do 
equal horns because with scurs, the genes will probably say horns.  But, the 
blanket statement about Barbado equalling horns and BB equalling no horns 
will not be correct until the registration requirements for these animals is 
fixed.  BB have been developing on the island of Barbados for over 350 
years, and no matter how "pure" the BB theoretically are, some could still 
have genes for horns, like I said to James in yesterday's list--go back and 
look at it again.
You questioned, "the inquiry for Barbado without horns."  I had remembered 
it being "Barbados" without horns. That would be a normal request. Did I 
remember it wrong?

Subject: [blackbelly] Horns vs Scurs
I tend to feel that scurs = horns.� When I read the inquiry for
Barbado with
no horns, I thought possibily ones that had been de-horned.� If
someone had
a Barbado ram with scurs, couldn't it produce offspring with
horns?
Yes guys, you have confused me once again.� I guess the simple
thought that
Babado = horns and Barbados Blackbelly = polled is not that
simple.
