Texas Dall

Ovis Dalli

The Texas dall (sometimes spelled "dahl") is a white or blonde-white sheep. It is thought to have originated as a cross between an Alaskan dall and a mouflon.

Texas dall rams are slightly larger than the black Hawaiian, and a mature ram weighs approximately 140-160 pounds. The winter coat of an adult ram will have a long mane, and the throat ruff can be long enough that it almost reaches the ground!

The horn growth and patterns of this sheep vary, depending on heredity and nutrition, but are similar to that of the black Hawaiian. This is a rare breed, and it makes a handsome trophy.
