Hi, I discovered, when I went to the site from my work computer, that you can view the pictures without signing up. I can't sign up on my work computer, but I...
yeah, to access the kodak gallery, you do have to take out a free account. I've never gotten spam from them though. It is a fabulous tool for being able to...
I have a question about pheomelanin. Is there such a thing as black pheomelanin??? I think I have only seen tan/yellow/red (all same colour, different names...
Hi Bill Tried a different computer. I only see a "continue" button; once clicked on, I got messages to fill in the blank fields. I can see the first picture on...
Hi Stefania, Yes, we get a gray that behaves just like a tan/red phaeo in the Navajo-Churro. We get it even more frequently when the N-C are bred to the...
Thanks Ingrid! I have been wondering about this for years but never got around to asking until now ;-) Stefania Icelandic sheep since 1985. Check this out:...
Would another example of phaeo on "black based" lambs be the phaeo we see here exhibited on "gray" (black based...NOT Ag) katmogets (badgers)? Especially...
Pheomelanin is a pigment; gray is a pattern. I don't understand how gray can be "black pheomelanin". I personally think I've seen fleeces that are a mix of...

When trying to understand pigment biochemistry in Soay sheep, I read quite a few articles and books, including Searle "Comparative Genetics of Coat Color in...
Don't know if this will help, but eumelanin is a pigment, pheomelanin is a pigment. What we end up seeing in fibers depends on the amount and the packaging....
That's what makes this so much fun! Taking black along two different pathways might explain the difference between Ag blacks that are a warm grey, and those...
What I mean by packages is the physical way that the pigments are contained. So, moorit and black sheep have the same pigment. The difference is in the shape...
Can I assume by that you mean the actual form the molecules take? That would impact the way light is absorbed/reflected I would think. Is that readily...
Dr. Sponenberg, I have copied your recent email posting below. I have a few specific things I would like to have you clarify. First, I know there is a...
Hmm. By "packages" I mean that the biochemical itself is the same, just the packaging is different. If I have marbles (in my head...) and put 'em in bags of...
After several days of rain, I was "itching" to back in the pasture with my camera. I enjoy keeping records of how the lambs grow. You're invited to view...
Is there any official website where the precise description along with the genetic markers (A locy; B loci; S loci etc) and good pictures? I was looking at the...
Hi Stefania: There is an unofficial web site that has pictures and articles with a fair bit of detail: http://www.shetlandsheepinfo.com/FLEECE/colours.htm As...
