Identify this Ram Please

[Wudstix]

A corsican is a barbado/mouflon cross originally.

That one looks like a corsican bred back to a barbado. Either way nice ram!

mouflon would have the horns turned in not out.

Great ranch. Not a pay and shoot place, but you will see tons of game for a decent price and a decent chance at a real trophy. The guide is a great guy too.

Wait so a corsican and a barbado are the exact same thing? Why do we use different names?

EXPLANATION OF AMERICAN BLACKBELLY, BLACK*HAWAIIAN, CORSICAN, PAINTED DESERT & TEXAS DALL SHEEP*All of these "varieties" have similar bloodlines, and efforts are being made by breeders to recognize some of them as distinct "breeds."* One of the most ancient breeds of sheep is a wild European sheep called the Mouflon.* They are a magnificent breed of hair sheep in which the rams grow a very majestic set of heart-shaped horns.* Mouflons were first introduced into the United States in Zoos and eventually crossed with some of the more "traditional" wool breeds including Jacob, Merino, and Rambouillet to develop the Corsican family of sheep.* Another shedding "hair" breed that was used in the development of these modern Corsican-type breeds was the Barbados Blackbelly [a breed developed in Barbados from African hair sheep.]* The term Corsican sheep was the term first used generically to describe Mouflon cross hair sheep.* In a broad sense,*the term Corsican is*often still used to describe any Mouflon cross, although it is usually used more when*describing the*brown/black strains*that show more Mouflon influence than Barbados Blackbelly influence.* As stated above, within the Corsican family are different varieties.* The solid white strain has come to be known as "Texas Dall."* The solid black strain has come to be known as "Black Hawaiian."* The ones that resemble Barbados Blackbellies in their color pattern have come to be known as "American Blackbellies."* The spotted variety is called "Painted Desert."* There is a Painted Desert Sheep Society and a registry.* Technically, an animal with only 1 or 2 spots can be called a Painted Desert, however, most Painted Desert breeders breed for a lot of splashy color in stead of just one or two spots.* If you have any questions about these descriptions, please give me*a call.*
