Is there a way to tell the age of a merino ram if you don't know how old in is.

There are two methods of identifying the age of sheep. Number one,
look for growth rings on the horns(some are more apparent than
others) or you can look at the teeth. A one year old will have two
large lower teeth in the center with the rest being smaller, a 2 year old will have four large teeth & so on.
