Twitter @juangangel The domestic sheep (Ovis orientalis aries) is a domesticated ruminant quadrupedal mammal used as livestock. It originated from the domestication of the mouflon in the Near East around the 9th millennium BC for its fur, wool, meat, and milk. It has a lifespan of 18 to 20 years and exhibits sexual dimorphism. After five months of gestation, the sheep gives birth to one or two young (some breeds, such as the Romanoff, can give birth to up to nine young). Females reach puberty between 5 and 10 months, while males reach puberty between 3 and 6 months of age (although it is recommended to wait until each sheep is a year old before breeding). To determine the age of this animal, whether male or female, and thus determine if they are at the recommended breeding age, one needs to look at their teeth. They shed their teeth after one year. Therefore, if they have thin teeth, they are younger than one year old, and if they have thick teeth, called "shoulder teeth," they are already one year old. They live between 18 and 20 years. In Castilla La Mancha, Aragón, and other areas of Spain, sheep are given different names depending on their age and are distinguished by their dentition: 8 9 10 Lamb, up to 6 or 8 months Ewe, up to one year old Primala, from one to two years old, are distinguished by their two front teeth, or shovels. They can breed for the first time, although they often fail to raise the offspring because they hate it. Andosca, from 2 to 3 years old. They have four shovels. Trasandosca, from 3 to 4 years old. They have six shovels. Closed, from the fifth year onwards, they are distinguished by the wear of their teeth until they reach a point where they are unable to grind the grain and excrete it whole.
