    How to Identify Mature Rams with Clay Lancaster

    Morning,

    I don't usually post episodes of my podcast on the forum but this week is pretty special. With a lot of us getting ready for sheep season I thought it was important to share this episode. I had Clay on the podcast and we talked about filed ageing and a variety of other topics for an hour. The amount of info he dropped was incredible. Here's the show notes and download info.

    In this episode, Jay sits down with Clay Lancaster. Clay is one of the most widely regarded sheep outfitters in North America and is considered to be an expert in field ageing mature rams. Although the purpose of the podcast was to focus on field ageing Clay and Jay dive into several different aspects of sheep hunting.

    I listened while I was at the gym this morning. I've heard Clay several times share his knowledge about sheep. What a great guy! I'll definitely be using some of his tips when I hope to harvest sheep #3 in August. Thanks for sharing.
