Texas Dall

The Texas Dall sheep is a hybrid breed of sheep developed from a cross between the Mouflon and the Rambouillet, resulting in a hardy animal well-suited to rugged environments. These sheep have a striking white coat that helps them blend into rocky and open landscapes, providing some camouflage against predators. Their thick wool protects them from harsh weather conditions, making them resilient in various climates. Males, or rams, are known for their impressive, curled horns, which they use in dominance battles during the mating season. Texas Dall sheep are commonly found in the rocky hills, grasslands, and scrublands of Texas, where they thrive in dry, open terrain with access to grasses, shrubs, and water sources. While not a naturally occurring species, the Texas Dall sheep is a prime example of selective breeding creating a resilient and visually striking animal that adapts well to its environment.
