Premium Texas Dall Sheep in Wisconsin | Driftless Ranch

If you’re looking for a visually striking addition to your trophy room, the Texas Dall sheep is an incredible choice. Instantly recognizable by their brilliant, snow-white coats and massive, flaring horns, these rams offer a classic exotic sheep experience. Originally bred in Texas as a cross between wild Mouflon and domestic sheep to create the ultimate trophy animal, they are now one of the most popular exotic sheep in North America.

Driftless Ranch brings this stunning pursuit to the Midwest. We offer an exceptional Texas Dall sheep experience in the steep bluffs and hardwood forests of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.

The Texas Dall: A Brilliant White Trophy

The Texas Dall is a member of the “Corsican” sheep family, but it stands completely apart visually due to its genetics. A mature ram provides a brilliant color contrast when mounted next to darker North American game or other exotic species.

The Trophy: Mature Texas Dall rams grow heavy, tightly curling horns that sweep back, down, and around their faces. A true trophy ram will have horns that complete a full curl or more, often flaring outward at the tips.

Distinctive Appearance: Their most defining feature is their pristine, all-white or champagne-colored coat. Depending on the season, they may develop a thick winter mane or “ruff” around their neck, adding to their majestic appearance.

The Challenge: While their white coat makes them easy to spot against green summer foliage or dark autumn timber, it also makes them highly visible to predators, giving them a naturally high-strung and skittish temperament. They possess excellent eyesight and rely on the safety of the herd, meaning you must be quiet and calculated when moving into range.

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 Texas Dall 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 provides expert guidance, complete field dressing, skinning, and caping of your ram for your 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.

A Strategic Midwest Spot-and-Stalk

For those choosing a field harvest, the Driftless Region offers a unique dynamic. The dramatic elevation changes, limestone outcroppings, and deep, wooded valleys of our property provide the rams with plenty of natural cover and high vantage points.

The Strategy: This pursuit generally relies on methodical spot-and-stalk tactics. You and your guide will glass the ridges and field edges to locate a mature ram. Because they are highly alert, closing the distance requires using the rolling terrain and timber to break up your outline and hide your approach. In the winter months, their white coats act as natural camouflage against the Wisconsin snow, adding an exciting layer of difficulty.

The Shot: Texas Dall rams are sturdy animals. We recommend standard deer-caliber rifles (such as a .243, .270, or .308) for a clean, ethical harvest. Archery enthusiasts will find this to be an incredibly rewarding challenge, requiring absolute silence to draw a bow within 30 to 40 yards of the flock.
