That is the biggest issue I have so far. It's about a partnership with  
the animal not an exploitation for personal gain I reckon :\

It would be good to know.

I don't think I explained correctly. If the horn was obtained  
ethically and humanely, ie as you described you had to take it off  
because it was affecting the sheep that is ok. I was questioning more  
about making BD preparations for permaculture practices and where the  
horns are obtained ie from places like slaughter houses. If it was  
from your own animal I don't see it a problem also if you get my drift.

Mostly lunar cycles. As it affects most things including ourselves.
