This is a great photo for judging with rams from around 27" to close to 32". The oldest ram in the bunch is second from right. he was high 20s but had 30 lbs and probly a year or two on the beauty on the far right, which I think was pushing 32". The old ram had "broomed" down. look how heavy his tips are. The Ram on the left can get a guy in trouble. but look how skinny his face is. Rams up to 7 or 8 will have that thin face.
Here is a good look at the beards and chaps of three rams around 30" One might be a little better. See how the two bottom rams have a continuous flow of hair from their beards to the chaps on their legs? The upper ram has fairly good hair but the bottom two are better.
Heres A big mature ram that won't make thirty, but a trophy none the less. Wider rams will wear their tips down dusting themselves.
This ram is close to 33". Lotsa hook. good hair wide ugly face.
Big ugly(read beautiful!)ram that was 31" and change on the long side. Wider type heavy tips scarred up face.
Another ram around 32" round type with good hook. See how the round types keep their lamb tips better adding length. He doesn't really have that big ugly ram face.
[img]http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee465/HUNTHARD1/076.png[/img]This is the kind of ram that can get you in trouble. Looks fairly long, has mediocre hair. he's young probly a 6 year old ram. long skinny face not much mass.
Hopefully this will help! PM me if you have any more questions!
