Nice Ram age test
 

well eye too:sSig_cool2::sSig_cool2:

what do u see when u zoom in on eye :party0052:

age this ram:test:

i am thinking younger than most or

prove me wrong:47b20s0:

David:)

7.5 is my guess. Looks like a false annuli between year 5-6

Super tight curl

8

7 for sure and possibly 8, one is hard to tell, no matter he's a beauty

I believe him to be 10 -11 , his last three years growth are short ones but way to deep to be false ,

10

7-8, tight curl is right

7.5

I do think I missed one by his base. Changed to 8.5

Great post OP!

Gonna go with 7.5, he's done well, there are claims the further north in Alberta you go, the tighter the curl because of slower growth rates.

Grizz

Also 10

Cut the horn and count the rings.

I don't care about how old the sheep is, he's a shooter for sure

8.5

This ram is in his tenth year I believe.

8.5-9 I suspect. Guess it depends what time of year the pic was taken :).

He’s 10.
OP, do we know his real age or are we just guessing until it turns into a argument?

I would only be guessing at his age cause I can’t tell on this iPad. He sure is tight.

I've got 8.

10

I’m getting 8.5. The 3 circles appear to be false annuli (to me at least). Definitely not seeing 10 years on this sheep.

Such a tight curled guy hey? Wow

Nice Ram age test
 

I only count 7. Few false ones in there
Then again, I’ve only been learning about sheep for a few months. Some seem to be much tougher than others

Yes the lamb tips are almost 100% in tact here

That much growth in the first year, eh? Cool

A little less. Tough to be “accurate” while editing a photo haha. Maybe 3/4” less

This is why alberta can never rely on age for sheep harvests

Exactly what I was thinking earlier. Just too hard with a big horn

8, or 8.5 depending on your preference. No question.
As far as bighorns go, that particular ram is not hard to age.
