Reference A+ and At: All the color discussion has been wonderful but my computer modem has been down for weeks so I can not respond in a timely manner....
Hi Stephen Some of the photos were very interesting. Personally I was most confused by the badgerface/Eng. blue thing. Some of your darkfaced badgers like...
Hi, could anyone post photos representing A+ and At? I'm not sure I understand the difference. What does A+ represent? (I seem to have trouble with that...
HI Jostein: I have to confess that I don't know much about the badgerface/Eng. blue issue. Some lines produce very dark (nearly black faces) on my "badgers"....
Hi Stephen I don't have photos available at the moment, but anyway A+ is the wild pattern which Connie describes so well. The + is just in stead of a small...
If anyone is interested, please check out the Painted Desert Sheep Society's CYBER SHOW (photo show judged on the internet) that is underway right now. There...
Hi everyone, I've got a lady looking for washed wool/roving soft enough to make soakers from. She is looking for dark natural colors and I don't have what she...
Hi I make soakers with my wool. I spin it in the grease, in the lock (ie raw), so the natural lanolin is maintained in the soakers, ie they do not need...

Hmmmm. What are soakers? Just asking - I raise Icelandics - probably not something I really really really need to know! Helen ... From: "Sutton Norma"...
Helen asks what soakers are--they're wool or flannel diaper covers. Holly who used plastic pants over her babies diapers, but is looking forward to knitting...
See a very small sampling at www.shetlandart.com Soaker pants are also popular. Not only do these go over cloth diapers. These double for the outerwear,...
LOL learn something new everyday! I knew that soaker were used over diapers, but didn't know you lanolized them. Thanks for the information. Norma Norma...
Connie My PC is filled up with spyware at the moment and out of work, so I have to use other PCs too. I see that I was not totally lost when I designated black...
Jostein, The list photo gallery has some good examples of Black and Tan also called Mouflon and also called Reverse Badger and is now according to COGNSAG 1986...
Jostein has me thinking we do have A+ Wild pale sheep out there. I never thought much about them before. Could Bjorn send me the link you posted earlier to the...
Hello- I hope I do not add confusion to this discussion! I raise Soay sheep. They are considered a primitive sheep - part way between wild Mouflon and other ...
sorry to ask dumb questions, but as an understander of only basic color genetics I don't know what A+ is and the words wild type don't conjure any vision for...
Stephen- I will try to get us to a common terminology. I looked at your Sheltering Pines web site to better understand what terms you are commonly using. I...
More references on A+ or At for wild or mouflon, and (conspicuous by absence of any reference to) black and tan. I consider these two web sites to be pretty...
From looking at Soays, and from the literature, it seems that Soays have two options at Agouti: black and tan (At), and no pattern (Aa). They do not have the...
Hi Phil Thanks for the clarification between At and A+. Stephen and I were talking about that this weekend when I stopped by his farm, and agreed that we were...
Dear Dr. Sponenberg- Thanks for your comments on Soay sheep and At vs. A+. I am still confused, however, why they are not considered to have A+ wild agouti ...
Phil, I know you have stated this before, so then I repeat my question: Why is it then that when you take an European Mouflon and cross it with spæl, after...
snips and responses... ... On a hair sheep the pheomelanin is very "tan" with a distinct red tinge to it, eumelanic browns are much "flatter" if that makes any...
