She looks like I do when I am subduing my bottle-ram Marley. Grabs his horns just right ;-) _MWS On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 7:20 AM, Peter C.

[Blackbelly] AB Ram on Television Ad
Recently there has been a television advertisement for "Stride Spark Gum" where a young woman is being chased down the street by a horned American Blackbelly ram. She successfully fends it off by raising her arms and making threatening noises. The ram was portrayed as a dangerous, rather wild-looking animal of uncertain species. I am always startled and surprised at seeing our blackbelly sheep on TV or anywhere else in the media, because up until now it seems that not many people outside our community of sheep ranchers have even seen a blackbelly sheep! So I guess it is a good thing that our sheep are starting to appear in the media, even though this particular ad may portray those AB rams as being aggressive and dangerous. We all know that they actually CAN be aggressive and dangerous under certain circumstances, but truthfully I wouldn't expect to see a lone AB ram chase somebody down the street, ha ha! Here's hoping there will be further media attention paid to blackbelly sheep (whether in advertisements, documentaries, or other formats). It would be nice to see ewes, lambs, and so forth in a more pastoral setting, which I think would portray a more favorable image of our blackbelly animals than to have a runaway ram chasing a young woman. Not all blackbelly animals are as B-a-a-a-ad as this big boy was. Still, it brought a smile to my face.
