Mike, very cute sheep. They will indeed be most unusual looking sporting the four horn gene! It will be a fun breeding project. Are you also breeding them to...

Hello everyone, We are new to this list and also new to colored corriedale sheep. We have not found any "breed specific" color genetics info about Corriedales...
hi the main thing to know about corriedales is that it is a white breed in which black is recessive. as far as the colors available both black and moorit...

"Simple dominant" may be too simple for this one. At any rate, the questions here appear to be controlled by two loci. One locus answers the question "is the...
