What I'm finding is that some "fast growing" animals will reach 4/5th curl by age 4yrs but it is usually in the 5-6yr age. This is still a far cry from a 200" ram IMO
Only a very, very tiny percentage of the population has the potential to ever make 200 inches...regardless of how long they live. I'd venture to guess that vast majority in Alberta don't even have the potential to make 180 inches. Lots do but more don't. Montana seems to produce more of the young monster rams than anywhere else. I suspect it's a combination of easy winters, high protein food and good genetics.
