I see, easiest way would be to pull a tooth and get some info like they do with CWD animals. Then compare the age with the horn structure. I would also add if we want some specialists at aging sheep maybe a bunch of taxidermists should be trained seeming how most sheep end up at a taxidermy shop after the wildlife office. There are ways we as hunters can help the government i'm sure.
