How can a sheep’s age be estimated?

An imprecise method to age sheep is by counting their teeth.  The following is an approximation:

Teeth Age at which teeth are present
(in months)
 2 – teeth 15 – 18
4 – tooth or rising 4 tooth 22 – 24
6 – tooth or rising 6 tooth 28 – 32
Full-mouth (8 tooth) 36 – 38 months
