NM Dahl Sheep are under development in at Terra Patre Wildlife Preserve & Teaching Farm in Colorado and New Mexico. The goal in developing these unique sheep is to produce a truly multi marketable product. Texas Dall, Black Hawaiian, and Painted Desert Sheep are beautiful and majestic with the rams supporting truly magnificent horns. They are also very excellent sources of lean, less mutton tasting meat. The NM Dahl is taking this one step further and wanting to increase the meat marketability along with increasing the growth of the horns not only on rams but also on the ewes for even better future horn genetics. With this in mind, New Mexico Dahl Sheep are hybrids of the best horned and meat hair sheep. Beginning with the descendents of hair sheep brought to the USA in 1598 by the Onate Spanish Colonists, and not being limited to breeding within the Corsican Sheep family (Texas Dall, Black Hawaiian, and Painted Desert Mouflon crosses), breeding is based solely on a focus on horns and meat as well as maintaining the shedding ability in these wonderful hybrids.
We are pleased to introduce Cuernas, NM Dahl Ewe, and Darby Jr, NM Dahl Ram, from Terra Patre Wildlife Preserve & Teaching Farm. Both are results of this selective breeding and we are looking forward to seeing what can be produced as our bloodlines are introduced. |
