Big Horn photo

Here is a ram TFinal and I came across a couple weeks ago while photographing sheep. This ram looked to have a bad case of lump jaw. He was really swollen up as you can see but in surprisingly good shape just the same. If you're interested you can see a bunch of the shots I got on that shoot in my Sheep album on my site.

Really nice photos on your website. Some real bruiser Alberta rams. I'm jealous.

It's an infection in the soft tissue or the bone.

Does it eventually kill them? It looks like it must feel darn miserable!
