30 month groove

l have attempted to attach a pdf illustration the description of the 30 month ring. This horn was cut in half so the age at the grooves was confirmed.
Hope this helps.
Joe.
If the attachment does not come through I will try again tomorrow.

Thanks, Joe. So how old is the ram in that diagram?

I think maybe we're confusing the pictures?

Reading this section again, it makes sense that the line is not shown, as its not an actual "ring", but I think it should have been shown for perspective since this is the aging section.

What would ADFG and troopers age this ram at? 9 or 10?

As I understand, the purpose of the illustration on page 20 was to demonstrate the relationship between ridge patterns and false annuli, not to illustrate "age". My responses and attachments provided,were simply to clarify those characteristics that can be used differentiate between 18 an 30 month grooves.

Note: The age of "8" refers to illustration I posted and not the picture on page 20 of the sheep manual.
