The Corsican Ram has been coined "The Poor Man's Bighorn" as they are relatively inexpensive to hunt compared to the mighty Rocky Mountain Bighorn. The Corsican ram is a composite breed resulting from the crossing of some exotic breeds of sheep with the European Mouflon. They come in a variety of color patterns and are selectively bred for the trophy hunting market for their "regal set or horns" that can reach lengths of up to 40". The Corsican comes in several color patterns like the Blackbelly, Painted Desert, Texas Dall, and Black Hawaiian. We have all types available, but they are limited. Our Corsican's regardless of type will have some of the longest hair of any exotic sheep you will find in North America, something only the Cold Canadian winters can create!

Blackbelly Corsican Ram: "Silvertine's Signature Trophy Ram"

Native to the West Indies, the Barbados sheep crossed with the Mouflon a long time ago in Texas, has created the Blackbelly Corsican Ram. By far the most popular Corsican ram coloration pattern. As the name implies these rams have the black underbelly, inside of the legs, the back part of the thighs, and the hair inside the ears. With the rest of the body being a red-brown  color with some white. Two black facial barbs extend down the muzzle medial to the eye, giving the breed an exotic "badger Like" appearance. Weighing in at near 200 lbs and having beautiful sweeping argali style horns that can reach 40 inches in length. This breed has a large "Lion" like manes of hair on the neck, called a "Ruff", making this breed an amazing mount in any trophy room.

Painted Desert Corsican Ram

The Painted Desert sheep originated as well in Texas on game ranches by crossing Mouflon with Rambouillet or a Texas dall. The term "Painted Deserts" was named by hunters  wishing to ad this colour sheep to their trophy room. The Painted Desert Sheep is a spotted hair sheep, and color's can be very wild with mixes of up to four or five different colors, but always with the white base coat color. Rams can weigh up to 200 lbs and have horns up to 40". Before being established as a separate breed, it was considered by many to be a parti-colored Corsican. Long desired by hunters because of the large horns and aesthetic, flashy looks, the Painted Desert is now very popular among exotic hunters wishing to collect this fancy breed. 

Black Hawaiian RamA colour phase of the Corsican sheep, this is a striking beautiful trophy with its jet black coat and white muzzle. Weighing in at near 200 lbs and having beautiful sweeping argali style horns that can reach 40 inches in length. This breed has a large "Lion" like manes of hair on the neck, called a "Ruff", making this breed an amazing mount in any trophy room. 

Silvertine Dall Ram

OK I just find it very hard to call these White sheep "Texas Dall Sheep" when they are killed in Canada, but they are the same thing, only ours have twice as much hair! Ours just seem so much more impressive than the ones killed in Texas with all that hair. This exotic white sheep is a prized by exotic hunters for their extraordinary trophy horns. They are enormous rounded horns that curve both downwards and outwards with a tan-like color and can grow up to 40” in length. Bagging one of these beauties for mounting is a trophy hunter’s dream. The Silvertine Dall is as well a colour phase of the Corsican sheep, with its solid white coat and heavy "ruff" on its neck. This color phase is by far the most popular Corsican sheep to hunt.  If you’d like to hang one of these trophies on your wall, please give us a call. 

Desert Dragons

Called the Desert Dragon the 4 horned sheep lives up to its name, having a dragon like exotic look with 4 horns coming out of its head. These sheep are derived by selective breeding with the Mouflon and Jacob or Churro ancestry. This ram makes an amazing conversation piece in any trophy room. We have limited numbers of trophy size desert dragon rams available.

About Corsican Ram Meat . . .

All breeds of Corsicans and Mouflons yield lean, delicate-flavoured meat with none of the “muttony” flavour, that many people find distasteful. The carcass is much leaner than domestic  market sheep, and has a brighter red color.  It resembled the carcass of a lean goat, and is often said by many people that the meat tastes more like beef than sheep.

PLEASE NOTE: All exotics must be "pre-ordered" before the guest arrives, and the hunt booked for that specific species. All species of exotics will be of exceptional trophy class, scoring well in the SCI Record Books. Please contact me so we can discuss what your expectations are and what I can deliver. Meat only animals will not be of trophy class, and the price will reflect this.
