| For photos of each side, front, and back you can take a picture in the pasture, put your sheep on a stand, or have your sheep tied. Try your best to get a complete side shot of the entire sheep in the side photos. For best photos kneel down and get at ground level with your sheep so your sheep can be pictured at it's best. |
| EXAMPLES OF ACCEPTABLE PHOTOS TO SUBMIT |
UNACCEPTABLE PHOTOS
| Unacceptable photos are when people take the photo standing over the sheep and not down at their level, at angles where the sheep can not be visually seen over all, shadows in the photo, taken with a group of sheep, or when sheep are way out in the pasture and can not be clearly seen. Photos submitted like these will be returned and you will be asked to submit more photos of your sheep. Photos must be clear and without shadows or blurring. |
| Remember! You will need to have a measurement of your sheep showing in one of the photos. You can use a measuring stick, or yard stick but make sure measurement can be read in the photo! You can take a piece of yarn or black tape and mark the 24" spot on your measuring stick if numbers are small and hard to read in photo. |
