Tosefta for Parah 1:3

כְּבָשִׂים, בְּנֵי שָׁנָה. וְאֵילִים, בְּנֵי שְׁתַּיִם. וְכֻלָּם מִיּוֹם לְיוֹם. בֶּן שְׁלשָׁה עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ אֵינוֹ כָשֵׁר לֹא לְאַיִל וְלֹא לְכֶבֶשׂ. רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן קוֹרֵהוּ פַּלְגָּס. בֶּן עַזַּאי קוֹרֵהוּ נוֹקֵד. רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל קוֹרֵהוּ פַּרְכָדִיגְמָא. הִקְרִיבוֹ, מֵבִיא עָלָיו נִסְכֵּי אַיִל, וְלֹא עָלָה לוֹ מִזִּבְחוֹ. בֶּן שְׁלשָׁה עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ וְיוֹם אֶחָד, הֲרֵי זֶה אָיִל:

Sheep [as referred to in the Torah] are one year old. And Rams [refers to ones who] are two years old. And all of them [are counted] from day to day [i.e. their years are counted from the day of their birth]. At thirteen months old niether a ram nor a sheep is valid [as a sacrifice]. R' Tarfon called it a "pleg'es." Ben Azzai called it a "nokad." R' Yishmael called it a "parchadigma." If it was offered, they bring with it wine libations of a ram and it doesn't count to the alter [i.e. to fulfill any obligations]. At thirteen months and one day it is considered a ram.

Tosefta Chullin

The blood of an animal sin offering is placed above [the altar's mid-line], and the blood of all [other] offerings is placed below (cf. Kinnim 1:1), and consequently it is said, "[What is] valid in a sin offering is invalid in all [other] offerings, [and what is valid] in all [other offerings] is invalid in a sin offering. [What is] valid in the external altar is invalid in the inner altar, [and what is] valid in the inner alter is invalid in the external altar. [What is] valid in rams is invalid in lambs, [and what is] valid in lambs is invalid in rams." But one that is a palges (a lamb or ram in its 13th month, see Par. 1:3), in this one or in that one, is invalid.
