What is a YO Ibex? – The YO Ibex was created on the YO Ranch in Kerr County, Texas. The YO Ranch took a Persian Ibex and hybridized it with a Catalina Goat; the result is a YO Ibex. Some YO Ibex have horns that look more like a Catalina but with an Ibex body, and others may look more like a Persian Ibex but with a shaggy Catalina-type coat.
