This from W4 Hunting Ranch, found this picture on their site. This is IMO one of the best looking Persian Ibex I have seen come out of Texas. For you ibex experts, is he pure? What would he go for?

The Persian or bezoar ibex native to Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, Russia and Turkey.They were also introduced to the Florida Mountains of New Mexico. They look nothing like most of the so-called Persian ibex found in Texas . The one in the photo above looks real close to the real thing.

I've spent a lot of money on my ibex herd...I'd pay good money if I could find a billy like this. To me they are superior to the Nubians which everyone likes...but that's just my opinion.

Both are beautiful animals, I agree with you that Persians are great looking animals, pure alpine ibex are good looking with great mass on there horns.

Nice looking goats ! But still aren't Bezoar Ibex. Find us the real deal and we can begin to try and preserve this great breed of ibex.
