I can appreciate your opinion. But... we actually have no data that support this. Nor do we have an actual aging system, that is more creditable. One ram can have a variance of up to 3 years in different hands ! Also when they age rams they don't account for year broomed off!

We have to realize, that bigger horns doesn't necessarily mean better genetics in the animal world. Not every 200 inch whitetail, is the dominate buck, nor is every 200 inch ram..

Until we are given more info, and or allowed time to conduct our own independent (through organizations and foundations) studies, let not believe what they say, just because they say it!
Which part of what I stated has no supporting data? There is data to support natural mortality of bighorn sheep. Valerious Geist did some excellent research on the subject.
