I like it, it's not broomed off, and that's rare on older rams from what I've been told. It might not score as high because of that, but who cares!

What does "broomed off" mean.  Pardon my ignorance, but I will probably never get to hunt one of these majestic animals so I am not very well versed.

Broomed off is when they wear the lamb tips off the end of their horns from eating and browsing....

Why would having them broomed off make them score better?  You would think it would be the other way?

When they are broomed they are shorter but may have greater diameter.... I like it best when they are not broomed, much prettier IMO....

The 4 mass measurements equidistant apart are heavier when they are broomed.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

So who actually killed this ram? Is he on this forum? We need a story, at the very least the unit it was taken out of.
