The inventory of mouflons in Austria goes back to the time of Empress Maria Theresa! She was the first to introduce mouflons from Corsica and they adapted very well in our mountain regions. In order ensure healthy survival over the centuries, they were repeatedly replenished with fresh Corsican and Sardinian mouflons (e.g: Fürst Metternich / Baron Rothschild etc.)
