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.

I'm sorry to here you went through the same nightmare. Please let me know if you make any progress in fighting the decision.
The fact that they are measuring in a way separate from what the regulations state is the problem.
They aren't charging guys because they know they will get egg on their face if it gets in front of a judge.
Why mandate that we leave the eye in if they don't use the eye to measure? Why don't they tell us the standard they expect to be achieved? The regs are full of full colour atv and scope ads yet the sheep regs are a couple paragraphs and a cartoon.
Here is a picture of the CO holding the old measuring device on the ram.
