General Info:

NM dahl sheep are NOT the same AS Alaska dahl's or Texas dalls. They have their OWN unique origin and deep rooted history in N. M. Rams CAN range from 200 to 275 LBS. Mature rams CAN have horn length's from 30'' to 45" with a 15" base. Ewe's will Also have horns that CAN reach 9" long. Ewe's are Also year around breeder's. The benefit of the NM dahl breed is the hardiness of the sheep. They are easy to care for and require NO sheering. The ewe's make excellent mother's with NO assistance during the birthing process and very protective of their young. NM dahl's are very good weed eaters and in MY opinion better than goats. They NOT only EAT the weeds and native grasses. They DO very well on them which in turn lowers the cost of feed while reaching market size and weight. They Also tend to leave the bark on MY Tree's unlike the goats. In fact. The goats we HAD loved pine trees and managed to destroy ALL they HAD access to. The sheep DO NOT seem to bother the tree's except to scratch their heads on them. NM dahl's are well suited for small scale farms. The easy care and high tolerance's of the hair sheep make them ideal for the novice sheep farmer. If YOU are considering getting goats for weed control or pets. Take a look AT the benefits of the NM dahl sheep. They DO AS good or better then the goats but will provide YOU a unique opportunity to OWN NEW MEXICO'S only heritage breed sheep. High quality well bred NM dahl's have the potential to provide a return on the investment. From the trophy hunting industry to leather and food industries there is a market OUT there for the hair sheep. Trophy rams CAN sell anywhere from $500 to $5000 depending on the quality and the market.
