Thought folks would find this comparision interesting.

The same ram at 4 1/2 (this year)

Someone needs a sheep fix....

Haha! SheepHunter! Just cracked me up...:)). Love the more pronounced rings at bases at 4.5.

I do need a sheep fix...later this month. Thanks to SheepHunter for helping to do some scouting on a Mouflon to hunt and I think I found a Great Urial to hunt (not the one in the pics)

Diane,
SheeperHunter = The Ram Man. I am just a follower.

Very impressive growth. I would have expected it to be less at that age. Hope you do this again at 5 1/2 years of age!!!

EddieWalker... He may not last that long...:)). Tony & Sheephunter... You are brothers from another Mother!

I am one of you guys I love sheep!

I will have some rare sheep on the ground in the next few months.

Some blue sheep,eastern & western tur

Probably be harvesting the WR Nubian Ibex as well

Eddie,
This is a ram being used as a Breeder by someone I know. So he's in a smaller pen with ewes and being fed very well (protein and minerals). I think the feed has a lot to do with it as this ram is probably eating a lot better than a ram that is turned out on a large ranch even if there are feeders.

Having spoken with you and seen the pics of your 6/8 bighorns there is no doubt.

I've heard that if you remove all native forage from the animal and feed it strictly a high protein diet, that you can increase horn and antler growth significantly.

Yes, very nice!
