One way to tell like the age of a tahr is like the color of their cape
and the older ones will have a bigger mane
so the real black backs on them, that's like
that's at least a five and a half year old bull.
A good black back.
And I can't see- Do their mane's get more frosted as they get older, like
they kind of whiten out like a muscet ox? A little bit, but there's different
like one in forty bulls will be what we call a black bull and it just doesn't get
that white mane and so a lot of their capes it kind of depends, it's kind of like a
genetic as well
so that's not an age characteristic? No not always but the bigger manes,
like the big real big fluffy manes is going to be an older bull.
You look for the horns that hook back, a real big bull tahr
if you're looking face on, his horns
look more like this and the smaller ones look more like
straight on so it's kind of got that flat plane kind of approach- yeah. Yeah I mean cause we're
still a good
well over a mile away here
And uh, you see that just profile and those hooks come back pretty good, that's a really good
glacial bull right there
