Colorado gave us the kind of shed-hunting trip we never forget: big views, demanding terrain, and long stretches where the next find could be just beyond the ridge.
A good shed tells you plenty before it ever becomes a chew. Color and weight can hint at freshness. Surface condition matters. Cracks, heavy weathering, and a chalky texture are reasons to leave a piece out of the dog-chew supply.
Those field lessons still guide the way we sort. Nature makes every piece different; our job is to be selective about what earns the G7 Ranch name.
