LAST EDITED ON Apr-17-11 AT 11:36PM (MST)[p]Ah shoot man, totally forgot that he was wearin the collar. Nah, it wasn't the darkhorns that I figured would indicate him as possibly being other than a california by appearance...I was lookin at his body size and very dark chocolate cape, but most notably his Rocky lookin ears
I'd give em some more time to communicate their reasoning for the rejection. Do you know if there is any history of possible Rocky "genetic pollution" in the stock used to establish the Island herd? Or hell, maybe collars and tags are adverse to their 'exclusive admission criteria'?
Sounds kinda fishy to me, but I'd keep the pressure on em if its something you feel is worthwhile to you...I'd personally just tell em to stuff it! Never much cared for the SCI clique anyway
That dude is a fine ram, and I am glad to have been given the opportunity to see him in the photos and excellent video you provided
So Thanks, and Good Luck man!
**edit---hey, you might post up the link to your video here as well for those who haven't seen it yet...great stuff! I will always remember the footage of the group dropping the crags after the shot, and the one young dude getting hammered off the intermediate landing by the following ram...Get the hell outta the way boy, comin' through!!
