Sheriff Valley Patrol Patch — Order This Bighorn Ram Oval Design
Design S0696A at a glance
A tan-bordered oval dominated by a bighorn ram head, its curled horns stitched in layered browns against a green field, with the office name arched above and the patrol designation below. The oval cut is the quiet advantage: it wears lower-profile than a shield, and the wildlife centerpiece marks the patrol's territory the way a seal never could.

About this bighorn ram patrol oval design
The horns carry this patch — concentric thread rows follow the curl so they read dimensional rather than flat, which is the detail that separates a stitched wildlife portrait from clip art. Earth tones keep it grounded for backcountry work, and the oval format sits comfortably on a sleeve without the formal weight of a star or shield, which suits patrol details that spend more time on ranch roads than in courtrooms.
Run it as shown or rework it: the arched line takes your county's name, the lower panel your patrol or district wording, and the ram can swap for the elk, pronghorn or raptor that actually lives in your valley. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Sheriff valley patrol patch questions
Can the ram be changed to a different animal?
Yes. Elk, mule deer, pronghorn, hawk — send a photo or just name the species and we redraw the centerpiece in the same layered style at no art charge.
Will the horn detail survive at shoulder size?
Yes, at 3.5" and up. Below that we simplify the layering slightly so the curl still reads — your proof shows exactly how it stitches at your chosen size.
Can we order a subdued version for field gear?
Yes. Brown-on-tan and olive subdued colorways run alongside the full-color version in the same order, each priced on the same quantity ladder.
Does the oval shape cost differently than a shield?
No — shape doesn't change the price. The $3.00–$20.00 per-patch range is set by size and quantity only.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the elements to change, pin notes, and switch colorways — it all attaches to your quote.
