Stumberg Sheep

Stumberg Sheep

Premium Stumberg Sheep in Wisconsin | Driftless Ranch

If you’re looking for one of the most impressive exotic sheep in the world, the Stumberg ram stands in a class of its own. Originally bred in Texas as a cross between the massive Argali and the agile Mouflon, the Stumberg is highly coveted for its disproportionately large, heavy-mass horns and rugged resilience.

Historically, finding trophy-class Stumbergs meant traveling deep into Texas or overseas. Driftless Ranch has changed that. We offer an exclusive opportunity to purchase world-class Stumberg rams right here in the rugged hills of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.

The Stumberg Ram: A Truly Exceptional Animal

The Stumberg is not your average exotic. Thanks to their Argali heritage, these rams boast incredible horn mass that sweeps back and outward, creating a striking mount that commands attention in any trophy room.

Appearance: Distinctive facial markings, a robust body, and sweeping, thick-based horns.

Behavior: Highly alert and perfectly adapted to steep, rocky terrain with excellent eyesight and a strong flocking instinct — qualities that make field harvesting a genuinely challenging and rewarding experience.

Exclusivity: Due to tightly controlled breeding and high demand, mature Stumberg rams are incredibly rare. Owning and harvesting one puts you in an elite group of exotic sheep enthusiasts.

How It Works

Step 1: Purchase Your Animal

Customers purchase the animal directly before any processing or delivery occurs. Payments can be made via cash, check, or credit card, and ownership transfers at the time of purchase.

Step 2: Plan and Harvest Your Animal

After purchasing your Stumberg ram, you’ll choose the harvesting method that best suits your needs:

  • Field Harvest — Harvest the animal yourself on our property using a firearm, bow and arrow, or muzzleloader. Our team will assist with logistics, field dressing, skinning, and caping your trophy for the taxidermist.
  • Live Delivery to a Meat Processor — We coordinate transportation to your chosen licensed processor.
  • Live Delivery to Your Own Facility — We arrange delivery directly to your location.

Each method requires planning and agreement in advance. Our team handles the details and ensures full compliance with Wisconsin regulations, making the process seamless and straightforward.
