Apple Family Ages

Not really important, but does anyone remember if the show or comics ever specified whether Big Macintosh is older than Applejack?

The first episode of the show. Applejack refers to Bic Mac as her big brother, if I remember correctly,

When AJ leaves the farm in her flashback, Big Mac already has his cutie mark, and AJ doesn't.

Also, this is probably pretty official:

Applejack's easygoing big brother is a strong Clydesdale who helps run the Apple family farm, Sweet Apple Acres. Even though he may not be a talker, Big Mac is a hard-working Earth pony who's always there to lend a helping hoof.

My Little Pony mobile game description
Eeyup! It’s Applejack’s big brother, a farmer pony of many apples and few words.

The Elements of Harmony guidebook
BIG MCINTOSH, also known as Big Mac, is the protective older brother of both Applejack and Apple Bloom. The soft-spoken colt generally doesn't have much to say, but he's always keeping an eye on his family.

Lets see. From Sweetie's dream episode we know that Sweetie was 5 and Rarity was in an adult body, And lets take in account that that Fluttershy is 2 years older than Pinke so lets say that Pinke's the youngest and Fluttershy is the oldest. I say that AJ is one of the older ones. We now that Cheeralie was the same age as Rarity and it took her some time to see what her mark meant. I don't know how long it takes to get a career in teach or if it's the same in that world. My guess is that the school system is even worst than here. But we do know that it was in the age range were dating Big Mac wouldn't be out of the socially norms. Then lets take in account that the cmc are the same age and that's not much of a stretch being that they are in the same grade. So I'd have to say that AJ is about 10 years older than A.B. and from the main six's cutie mark episode we saw that Big Mac isn't that much older than AJ so I'd say his 2 to 5 years older.

That works! Thanks. Always assumed he was older but I realized awhile back I couldn't remember it being stated
