Thanks! I wonder, when I look at Alice, if she isn't fawn instead of Musket? I'll bring some musket with me on Saturday and we can compare! Yes, beautiful...
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...

Below is an email forwarded from the Blackface list. I thought this might be pheomelanin showing up in the hairy Blackface wool. However, another list member...
Great picture...looks like it was early morning or late at night...and it was how the sun was hitting them....actually it looks like a whole flock of moorit...
Maybe they'd been given phenothiazine. This can cause the wool to be stained. But I don't think many people use it any longer. This from google, where I...

Robin: Sorry. I checked my message, and although I did mention what you said, I didn't put it very clearly. I do believe you, but I had already told Thom I...
Hi all It is a brand as it was explained to me. Orange blue and red on the moors in Scotland, no fences so each farmer has a color. Some are more generous with...

Interesting discussion ref "painted sheep." Remember, as far as color genetics goes, your best phenotypical indicator for sheep color/markings is the...
If the polycerate gene is simple dominate over the 2 horn gene, what is the relationship of polycerate to polled? I know it is not dominate and was told that...
"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...

In Icelandic sheep, males and females can be polled, horned, or multi-horned (similar to Jacob or NC). There may be additional allele involved as in the...
Yes, I think it must be a recessive gene. We have icelandic sheep (usually ca. 15), and had once a 4-horned ram lamb born. But no cases earlier or later ; ) ...
The multi-horns in my Navajo-Churro sheep act like they are recessive. So I was surprised when Dolling's horn studies showed it to be dominant. I have ...
