| HORNS of these sheep have an inner core. This picture shows the inner core and the outer horn. The inner core will usually not be all the way to the tip of the horn. As ram's age, blood vessels and sinus cavities are growing up into the horn as the horns are growing from the base out. |
Here is the inner core removed.
