You disagree with the short sheep idea but think about this. IF someone takes a chance on a ram that is really heavy broomed but has 18 inch bases , is 10/11 yrs old but ends up 1/64 in. short why would you want to take it from him . Thing was gonna die anyway , plus the guy sacrifices his next ram. It is a no brainer. Take the good old ram . save the lamb tipped 6.5 yr old YOU would kill instead, save the crown prosecutor a bunch of $$$ . Hunter has a real trophy to boot. STOP and THINK a BIT, If it is an outfitter and the client chooses to take a chance and is the thickness of a piece of paper short why would you want to take this ram away when the outdfitter loses his next available tag. Trading a dead ship for a live sheep that ends up still alive seems way better then 2 dead sheep especially if the dead sheep is an old boy
