Old Russian. We had same thing happen this year on a similar ram. Our ram is legal according to the description in the regulations by a bit. Took one picture of it with a square on it as that’s how they used to check it. Would have taken lots more if I knew what was coming. We were not allowed to ever see it in the jig and had to take their word that it was 6mm short. Head, cape and meat were seized and a warning was given. No appeal process and we were absolutely not allowed to see it in the jig. I have a letter out to the minister with pics but don’t have a clue what will happen. The jig is not measuring the sheep the way the regulations describe how we are to judge the sheep or it is not being used properly. Would post pics but don’t know how. Very frustrating and takes what was a great experience to a real downer.
