What age is this sheep?
« on: August 14, 2015, 11:56:50 am »
Hi, what age would this sheep be according to the photo? I was told it's a hogget but wasn't quite sure how to work out their age with the teeth.

Rookie question, but I'm so used to keeping 4 year old sheep and over and can't seem to distinguish this 'hoggets' teeth from the older ones

Probably  yes but I would like to see the whole sheep to confirm ,  must have been late born  or slow maturing , I have hill sheep with baby teeth at 15-18mths old .     The teeth have gaps all round them  and should look small , adult teeth tend not to have gaps between the teeth
