Pope's Turn!!!
« on: January 02, 2009, 10:21:19 AM »
Are you following me around Slider?  :)  I think this is the biggest cali ram I've ever seen in person.  I count 8 rings, maybe he has another year or two...

No, this is definitely not a 190 ram.  The world SCI record for a cali ram is 186 I think.  I don't think he is that big.  I do think he is 180 or over though.  A nice ram.  I'd love to see if there is a picture of a bigger cali ram in WA...

How come the first picture is the exact same as Slider's first picture of the same ram?

Thats a damn fine sheep no matter what he scores.  Great pics Pope.  Welcome back.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

If you look closely it isn't quite the same.  We were standing right next to each other so they are pretty similar... 

You won't believe where this ram lives passion...   :chuckle:

You have to be at the Grand Slam convention to pull the tag this year.  It is in Las Vegas in February and it isn't in my budget...  If you flew down there and dropped about $500 on raffle tags you might have a damn good chance...
