Can You Guess the Age of These Sheep?

Sheep farmers can tell the age of a sheep from its teeth. Pretty cool, huh?

Lambs are born with four sets of baby teeth, making eight teeth. After a year, they grow a middle pair. This middle pair is very large and can easily be seen. At two years of age, sheep have two middle pairs. This makes four large teeth. This process continues until they are four years old. At four, they have four pairs of large teeth. From five years on, sheep teeth spread out or fall out. From this information, can you guess the ages of these sheep?
