Like others said look at body shape and size. A good set of chaps and mane, bases that appear to touch or rub marks on the hide from horns touching the body are indicators of a mature ram.
As far as eating it, I ground most of the one I killed. Made great chili, burgers, tacos, etc. I did a whole thread on here about eating it. I had no complaints about eating it and would gladly eat another one. I shot mine in far west Texas so it was not eating corn or alfalfa or anything.

Got a couple that look mature but I would guess to only be 28-30"
You mean the Tire right!

Our lease has ranch shoot on sight orders due to competition on food supplies and damage to feeders, fences, and ranch property. They are obnoxious around feeders to other animals.
The damage to feeders done by rams who learn to butt the sheet metal to make it leak corn has to be seen to believe. They will even hit the legs to send a barrel feeder to the ground, then pound it to scrap.
I would like a nice ram for the wall and a young kid to try in the pot but we keep them pretty scarce.

In other words…… ground check with a tape measure lol
We have a rule to shoot all exotics seen but these critters have been pretty elusive so far. Seem to travel up in the rocks most of the time and are hard to pattern. I do have them coming to cheap deer blocks up in the hills. It will be a 600-700 yard shot but aired the 300 PRC out to 850 the other day and it was spot on. They will never know what hit 'em
Then it was probably eating SAGE BRUSH OR MESQUITE BEANS and was already seasoned!

I'll be glad to help judge size also (PM inbound). I was on a similar size lease in the same area for several years. I also ate several aoudad--big rams and younger ones. The older ones were tough but plenty edible if prepared properly, and the younger ones were good. The meat smells different than other meat, but doesn't taste like it smells oddly enough. There are several sites like the one below that have good recipes.
