MOUFFLON | Pafos Zoo FACILITIES The Mouflon is a species of wild sheep and as such is one of the Caprinae or “goat antelopes”. It is thought to be one of the two ancestors for all modern domestic sheep breeds.[1][2] It is red-brown with a dark back-stripe, light colored saddle patch and underparts. The males are horned and the females are horned or polled. They originated in Southwest Asia, home to the species known as the “Asiatic mouflon” (Ovis orientalis). Mouflon were introduced to the islands of Corsica, Sardinia, Rhodes, and Cyprus during the neolithic period, perhaps as feral domesticated animals, where they naturalized to the mountainous interiors of these islands over the past few thousand years, giving rise to the species known as European mouflon (O. musimon or O. ammon). They are now rare on the islands and classified as vulnerable by the IUCN,[3] but have been successfully introduced into central Europe, including Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania, and even in some northern European countries such as Finland.

Since the 1980s, Mouflons have been introduced successfully in game ranches in North America for the purpose of hunting; however in game ranches pure breeds are rare,[citation needed] as they interbred with other species introduced for the same purpose, like Barbado(s) Sheep, Corsican sheep, Painted Desert Sheep, Texas Dall Sheep or Four Horned Sheep (Jacob’s Sheep). As a result, Europe and Asia Minor present the only wild populations of purebred animals. St, George, Peyia Paphos Corsican Sheep - Exotic Hunts Canada, Silvertine Wildlife Co.

CANADA'S PRIEMIER EXOTIC RAMS The Corsican Ram has been coined "The Poor Man's Bighorn" as they are relatively inexpensive to hunt compared to the mighty Rocky Mountain Bighorn. The Corsican ram is a composite breed resulting from the crossing of some exotic breeds of sheep with the European Mouflon. They come in a variety of color patterns and are selectively bred for the trophy hunting market for their "regal set or horns" that can reach lengths of up to 40". The Corsican comes in several color patterns like the Blackbelly, Painted Desert, Texas Dall, and Black Hawaiian. We have all types available, but they are limited. Our Corsican's regardless of type will have some of the longest hair of any exotic sheep you will find in North America, something only the Cold Canadian winters can create!

Blackbelly Corsican Ram: Native to the West Indies, the Barbados sheep crossed with the Mouflon a long time ago in Texas, has created the Blackbelly Corsican Ram. By far the most popular Corsican ram coloration pattern. As the name implies these rams have the black underbelly, inside of the legs, the back part of the thighs, and the hair inside the ears. With the rest of the body being a red-brown color with some white. Two black facial barbs extend down the muzzle medial to the eye, giving the breed an exotic "badger Like" appearance. Weighing in at near 200 lbs and having beautiful sweeping argali style horns that can reach 40 inches in length. This breed has a large "Lion" like manes of hair on the neck, called a "Ruff", making this breed an amazing mount in any trophy room. About Corsican Ram Meat . . . All breeds of Corsicans and Mouflons yield lean, delicate-flavoured meat with none of the “muttony” flavour, that many people find distasteful. The carcass is much leaner than domestic market sheep, and has a brighter red color.

It resembled the carcass of a lean goat, and is often said by many people that the meat tastes more like beef than sheep. PLEASE NOTE: All exotics must be "pre-ordered" before the guest arrives, and the hunt booked for that specific species. All species of exotics will be of exceptional trophy class, scoring well in the SCI Record Books. Please contact me so we can discuss what your expectations are and what I can deliver.

It originated on the islands of Corsica, Sardina, and Cyprus, but has recently been introduced in much of Europe. Like most wild sheep, the mouflon lives in mountainous terrain, usually above the tree line or in mountain meadows. In Corsica it lives on steep-sided rocky peaks, where it is protected from predators. It has a red-brown color with a dark area along its back, and lighter colored side patches. Its underparts are white as well as the bottom half of their legs. It has a white muzzle and white circles around its eyes. The males and females have horns, but those of the males are larger. The curved, spiral horns are usually around 25 inches in length and are arch back over its head. The mouflon's horns don't flare out at the end as most wild sheep's do. The size of a male mouflon's horns determine his status in the group. A mouflon is about the size of a medium sheep with a weight range of 55-120 pounds. They are 4-5 feet long, and stand about 2-4 feet tall at the shoulders.

They have a rough coat, and during the winter grow a woolly under coat that keeps them warm. The males and females live in separate groups and only come together during mating season. The ewes will usually have the better foraging grounds because their health is more important for reproduction. Mouflon mate, or go through a rut, in late autumn to early winter. The rams' dominance is determined by his age and the size of his horns. They will crash their horns together to re-enforce dominance. The ewes don't mate until they are about 2-3 years old. Males don't mate until they are about 7 years old because they have to establish a strong social standing before being allowed to mate with a female. The ewes are pregnant 210 days and can give birth to either one, or twin lambs. The ewe will go into cover to have her lamb which is up on its feet within minutes after birth. The mouflon's diet is tough. Being a herbivore, it grazes on short grasses, heather, and shrubs. It has a multi-chambered stomach with special microbes that break down the cellulose of the plant cell walls.

After it has eaten its fill, the mouflon will lie down somewhere, and regurgitate its food, chewing it a second time to soften it some more. It then swallows it again for the last time. Natural predators like bears and wolves have all but disappeared from the mouflon's range. Eagles can pose a problem for young lambs, and the mouflon is still hunted for their trophy horns. The mouflon is a shy animal which feeds mostly at night and doesn't stay long in one place. Over the last 50 years the mouflon numbers have fallen due to habitat loss, hunting, and interbreeding with domestic sheep. Sardina population dropped to 700 in 1975, but appears to be making a low comeback. Corsica has about 200-500 mouflon and Cyprus has even less. These island populations are listed as vulnerable by the World Conservation Union (IUCN). This means that there are restrictions on hunting, or trapping the mouflon to sell in the wild. Introduced herds on the mainland are thriving, however. 2001 Mouflon - CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science Mouflon O.

gmelini O. orientalis The Mouflon is a species of wild sheep and as such is one of the Caprinae or "goat antelopes". It is thought to be one of the two ancestors for all modern domestic sheep breeds. It is red-brown with a dark back-stripe, light colored saddle patch and underparts. The males are horned and the females are horned or polled. They originated in Southwest Asia , where the species known as Asiatic mouflon (Ovis orientalis) lives. They were introduced to the islands of Corsica , Sardinia , Rhodes , and Cyprus some time after the Tower of Babel , perhaps as feral domesticated animals, where they naturalized to the mountainous interiors of these islands over the past few thousand years, giving rise to the species known as European mouflon (O. musimon or O. ammon). They are now rare on the islands, but have been successfully introduced into central Europe , including Germany , Austria , the Czech Republic , Slovakia , Hungary , and Romania , even in some northern European countries, such as Finland .

The scientific classification of the Mouflon is disputed [1] but the European Mouflon may be considered as either Ovis musimon or Ovis ammon musimon. Other names: Αγρινό (Greek), Muflon (Czech), Muflon (Polish), Muflone (Italian), Corsican Mouflon, European Mouflon, Musimon, Musmon, Sardinian Mouflon, Moufflon. Is a Mouflon Sheep the Right Exotic Livestock for You? Scientific name: Ovis aries orientalis Other common names: Corsican Mouflon; Mediterranean Mouflon; European Mouflon; Musimon; Musmon; Sardinian Mouflon The basics: The Mouflon is a wild sheep which is native to central Europe and Asia, and which is believed to be one of the ancestors of all domestic sheep. Five subspecies of Mouflon have been identified, and include the European Mouflon and the Cypriot Mouflon.

In the early 1900's Mouflon were crossbred to different breeds of domesticated wool sheep, and created breeds such as the Painted Desert Sheep, Texas Dall Sheep, Black Hawaiian Sheep, and American Blackbelly Sheep. Since the 1980's, Mouflon have been introduced to North America and Hawaii as game for hunting. Appearance / health: The size and coloration of Mouflon vary depending on the subspecies, but in general these wild sheep have a reddish-brown coat with a dark stripe which extends along their back. Male Mouflon have dramatic, curved horns. Females can be either horned or polled. Mouflon stand around 0.9 meters in height and weigh 50 kg (males) and 35 kg (females).

All Contents Copyright 2015 History of Painted Desert, Texas Dall and other Corsican Sheep United Horned Hair Sheep Association, Inc. A HISTORY - SHEEP MADE IN AMERICA!!!

The Painted Desert, Texas Dall, Black Hawaiian, American Blackbelly, Desert Sand, and Corsican Sheep are actually the result of initial crosses decades ago between the shedding, European Mouflon Sheep (native to Corsica and Sardinia) with a wide range of more well known "wool" breeds of sheep including: Horned Rambouillet, Churro, Merino, and Jacob. European Mouflons eventually made their way into several zoos in the United States. After several years, the zoos released some of the Mouflons to large ranches with a concentrated release in Texas. Here in the United States,after 1946, the European Mouflon Sheep crossed with the more well known wool sheep breeds and the wonderful breeds called Painted Desert, Texas Dall, Black Hawaiian, Desert Sand, and Corsican were born. At times, some of these crosses also included a hair or shedding sheep called the Barbados Blackbelly which were imported from the Caribbean island of Barbados, West Indies with bloodlines originally coming from Africa. The American Blackbelly Sheep derive from such bloodlines.

One of the very first crosses happened in the mid 1900’s at the YO Ranch in Texas between European Mouflon Ewes and Rambouillet rams resulting in beautiful snowy white, shedding sheep now known as the Texas Dall. The two lambs which were produced by the Rambouillet X Mouflon cross were found by Bob Snow of the Y.O. Ranch and were the first Texas Dalls (Mungall, 2007). While some research notes the possibility that feral European Mouflon sheep in Hawaii were crossed with sheep on the Islands and all black offspring were imported to the continental U.S. as Black Hawaiians or Hawaiian Black Sheep, importation data currently known does not support this account of the origins of the all black, horned, shedding sheep. Originally, the European Mouflon and the new sheep breeds were primarily used for "Trophies" due to the rams' beautiful horns. As the popularity of the sheep increased, the focus has become on achieving recognition for these sheep for other markets such as meat, show, pasture/fenceline clearing, etc., and for simply being unique sheep deserving of recognition as individual breeds.

These are truly American Breeds - originating in Texas, North Carolina and other states and now located throughout the USA and also in Canada! The unique breeds truly represent the American Spirit of ingenuity and creativity. European Mouflon Sheep - Exotic Hunts Canada, Silvertine Wildlife Co. Exotic Hunts Canada, Silvertine Wildlife Co. Links European Mouflon The European Mouflon is thought to be one of the two ancestors for all modern sheep breeds. It is definitely the grandfather of all Corsican breeds. Mouflon's are regal and deer-like in looks and nature. They have striped faces, white tail patches and underbellies, and body coats ranging in color from fawn to mahogany. Rams develop long, dark manes and white saddle patches on their sides in winter. Mouflons are smaller than the other exotic breeds, and rams stand 27 to 35 inches tall and weigh 90 to 120 pounds. The males are horned with a good trophy being 25-35" in length. Rams rarely get full curl, and grow the enormous, heart-shaped, arching horns terminating at the jaw line.

With some selective breeding larger rams are possible and a full curl ram is a elite prized trophy. The Mouflon has been successfully introduced into the wild in central Europe, including Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovak Republics, and Romania. About Mouflon Ram Meat . . .
