[Blackbelly] problem with ram horns

[Jennifer ODell]

Hi,
I am the head of hoofstock at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo.  I have a 3 year old 
hand raised blackbelly ram that has started having issues with 1 horn.  It is a 
very nice spiral but it is too close to his face.  At first it didn't look like 
a problem as it grew, but now it has grown too close to his eye and face.  Can 
it be trained away after it has gotten like this?  The spot is halfway down the 
spiral, so trimming it would be tricky.  How close to the end is the blood 
supply? He is also a typical handraised ram in a close area so it is always a 
fight to do anything with him.  
Thanks in advance
Jennifer Koehler
