He's certainly not typical of the area. Probably 80% or more are taken as 1 1/2 year olds, so not many get a chance to show what they could achieve. He's not an old buck by any means. No more than 3 1/2 in my opinion, but shows that even one extra year from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 can make a big difference if the genetics/ nutrition are there.
