Location

Free-ranging in parts of California and Hawaii. Also on private properties in Texas and elsewhere; but would be better suited to use “world” as the location where these sheep can be located.

Description

Weight can vary from 80-225 pounds. Usually these animals are hybrids of European mouflon and domestic sheep. Large and spectacular horns can result from carefully managed crosses. Color phases are also developed, the white “Texas Dall” and black “Hawaiian ram” being examples. Unfortunately (or fortunately), almost any Ovis species will crossbreed. Texas made Corsican sheep famous, as there are numerous crosses. They had to be called something, and Corsican was the name that stuck. Mouflon genetics are found in the majority of these crosses, and one can see some most handsome and impressive rams in Texas and other states (or countries).
