Hi Linda,
fascinating as you say! and works for me.

Here's a mad thought.In solid sheep, whatever is at work could be responsible
for the incremental colour variance in sheep who carry the colour modified gene.
In other words. The incremental changes in colour ( some are more intense some
less) you see in modified sheep is not directly due to the colour modifed gene
itself but due to something else at work? That would depend of course on
beliveing an incremental allele somewhere else being possible.............
