I am going on a Ram hunt with my buddy this comming Oct down here in Texas, our "Ram Options" go like this

"Corsican, Black Hawaiian, Texas Dall, Painted Desert, and possibly a few Mouflon mixes"

Personally, I thought the Texas Dall looked the best, is it indeed indiginous to the State of Tx or was this a nick name given when it was brought in? Beyond that, does anyone know any good websites which would have a set of photos showing me the various rams and what would be a good looking example if I were to compare to one I was to shoot? Thanks for any info you can toss my way!

I don't think any of these are indigenous.

Images from Las Auras Ranch's website. This is not an endorsement of the ranch, I was just looking for some pictures.

This is supposed to be a painted desert (other pictures at the McCown Outfitters web page) :

The Texas Dall, Corisican, Black Hawaiian, Painted Desert, and "Mouflan Mix" are all types of Corsican rams bred for color.


Here is a Texas Dall


Here is a Black Hawaiian.


Here is a Painted Desert. They can be any combination of colors.

Here's a link to my Hawaiian Black. Go to google and type in the various names of the sheep under the images section. You should get plenty of pictures.

Go to YAHOO, click on IMAGES in the toolbar, and then type in and look for any animal you want. Easy!
