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

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.

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

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

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