Broomed horns are naturally broken off at the tips. It used to be thought that the rams would rub them down so that they wouldn't interfere with their vision. They've since found that to not be true. The concusive force that occurs when they butt heads transfers energy to the ends of the horn tips which can eventually cause them to break off, and creates a "broomed" horn.

Great recap Jeff, thanks for sharing. My top 2 goals are dal sheep and moose. Any of the sheep species would be great though. My cousin, Tom Duncan, lives in Fairbanks. Another funny little tidbit, my 96 dodge ram pickup came from fairbanks AL, at least thats what the title had on it. Congratulations. Kevin
