Mountain Goat Age?

[Wyo_Roadhunter]

Just curious what you guys think his age is? I know nothing about goats and have heard you can count the rings but I really dont know what rings count and don't. So was hoping someone that knows goats can chime in. He didn't have any teeth at all in the front on the lower jaw and the f&g didn't send me a tooth packet anyways.

Unless they break off the tips, goats have lamb tips similar to sheep. So 1 1/2 years to the first annular ring. Yours is a beauty and looks to have at least 7 good defined rings, so minimum of 8 1/2. Getting to the very old stage for a goat!

How long are horns?
I'm no expert either but wouldn't be surprised if 9&1/2.
Congrats

That goat is 11. Not 11.5 but 11. Could even be 12

Born in May killed sept so 11.325.

Do you tell people you’re 40.5 years old? No. Hey bob over there is 70.5 years old.

Adding the .5 is stupid and ego driven.

Congrats on a really nice goat...I'm no authority but I'm saying 11 years old..

That's definitely an "old goat"...kinda like some of us!
One fine trophy for sure and I'm sure you will find a deserving place for him to rest.
Congrats again Mr. Utah mountainside "Roadhunter"!
