-Hello Linda I've read your article and I still have different interpretations of the genetics of the different mioget colors. But I've discussed that on these...
Hi Jostein: Which badgers on my kodak albums did you have questions about? Feel free to ask, as I may well have posted incorrectly. I probably didn't double...
Hi Jostein: The dark brown to mioget saga is far from finished, I am sure. I am guessing you are thinking about Ag explanations. Is there something else that...
Very interesting Linda, I have several "pale-faced" golden-brown badgerface Icelandics that at first I thought were brown with extensive white spotting. There...
-Hi No surprise I was thinking of Ag causing some of this. And from what you can observe in horses, cows etc. it's not uncommon with brown kind of black, and...
Hi All I have posted pictures of a ram that I think may be Albf, his mother, who I thought was AbAg, and his older sister who is AbAa. He has a twin that is...
Hi Jostein! No problem. I have only had a few of the Ablf badgers. I knew they were not Ab/Ag because neither parent was Ag. (all my Ablf badgers have...
Hi Tracy: Lots of puzzles to work on! The modifier I am investigating with the Shetlands appears to be recessive, so two browns carrying the modifier can ...
Linda, I've read through your article about badgerface/kattmaget once more - and my problems are increasing. Why is it that the description and pictures of...
Jostein: Dr. Sumner thought that AbAg and AlbfAa might look very similar. He did not have any Ag sheep to do test breedings with to explore it. His test...
In my opinion Jostein, what you're missing is that a Ab/Ag sheep can and will throw Ag lambs 50% of the time. an Albf/Aa sheep will NEVER throw Ag lambs....
I borrow this topic a bit to ask which is the difference in genes between
light badger & moget face? I have an old ewe who has made at least 3 times
one kid....
-Linda I'll wait for you or others to come up with more pictures or explanations on Albf/Ab if you've got time. I'm not unfamiliar with the idea that you...
Hi Riina; I would guess that if your old ewe has some badgerface markings and has thrown a grey lamb when bred to a black ram, she is likely AbAg. Ag washes ...
Thanks Linda, I think I test the ewe and breed her with a brown ram next time to find out
for more sure which one she might genetically be. What actually...
Hi Jostein: I really like the badgerface pattern and hope I will always have some of both types, Ab and Albf, in the flock. I don't have a particular breeding...
Hi Riina: I understand that Ag inhibits pigmentation in the wool but the amount of that seems to vary. Some Ag sheep have more light fibres (no pigment due to...
