Breeds of wild sheep have always interested us here at Circle H.

We raise 5 kinds of wild sheep. The first being the European Mouflon. European mouflon are the only wild breed of sheep in Europe. Known for their natural beauty, the ability to elude hunters, and the honor held by those who have collected them as a trophy is what makes the mouflon one of the most sought after trophies in the world. The Armenian Mouflon originates from the Middle East and is also a striking sheep to look at. Coming from a rugged and often life-threating environment makes them one of the hardiest and most adaptable sheep to raise in Texas with our varying terrain, and environment. The Transcaspian Urial has to be one of the most beautiful of all the wild sheep. With its white neck ruff and sandy colored body, and especially the horns which can grow to almost 50” in length. The Transcaspian is the largest horned sheep here on the ranch. The red sheep is the most varying sheep in terms of coloration and horn configuration due to the fact that it is a hybrid that occurs naturally between Armenian Mouflon and Transcaspian Urials in their native homeland. We here at Circle H Ranch have improved our red sheep herd by introducing our own mix of Armenian Mouflon and Transcaspian Urial hybrids to our existing group of Red Sheep. This introduction has made our Red Sheep some of the largest anywhere in the world. Last but not least is the Aoudad (shown at left) . Aoudad originate from Africa, and have physical characteristics all their own. Aoudad will not hybridize with any other sheep making it unique in its own right. We strive to raise the best in each of our sheep species and monitor them closely to maintain purity, genetic diversity, and tremendous horn growth.
