For this cross, open slopes and broken country near grazing are sensible places to begin looking. That is a general expectation from its wild-sheep background; the ranch’s observations tell us where these animals actually spend time.
Grasses and other herbaceous plants are the starting point for understanding their diet, with browse used as available. Seasonal conditions and the particular animals influence feeding habits.

Think sheep rather than venison, but do not expect a mature ram to eat like young domestic lamb. Ask about the ranch’s experience with these animals; slow-cooked cuts and ground preparations are options.
Hunting difficulty varies with the approach and conditions. Table fare depends on the animal, handling, and preparation.
