This story really began when Herb Klein, who lives in Dallas, casually mentioned over the phone that he was going to hunt mouflon on a Texas ranch. The little sheep have been introduced into the mountains of Bavaria and Hungary, where they’ve apparently done well. His horns are totally unlike those of the American wild sheep. The Aoudad is a chunky animal, bigger than the average desert bighorn ram, though smaller than some North American wild sheep. The little Mediterranean sheep (the “living ancestors” of domestic sheep) take in their stride diseases that kill the American wild sheep off like flies—foot rot, scabies, pneumonia, lungworm, etc.
