-Marjo-Riina Sorry for my late answer. I'm not sure whether your sheep are all badgerfaces or a mixture of badgers and English blue. Both colors seem to have...

Hi All How would the Moorit color pop out in a longwool breed? It is a closed flock no new sheep since 96 breeding is mostly LAI with a home raised ram as ...
Barbara, You should not be too surprised by getting moorit and black lambs from white sheep. This is how it goes (slightly simplified): ALL sheep except albino...
Depending on what you include as "longwools," moorit does indeed occur. Especially in Romney and Border Leicester. In other breeds it likely lurks at a VERY...
... Hi Barbara - Great to "see" you! This is interesting. Many breeders of coloured sheep here in New Zealand have found that our moorit sheep tend (on average...
Barbara, I apologize for not picking up what area of the country (or what country) you are in. You might ask a local veterinarian or extension/ag agent if...
Hi The sheep are in CA, I live in Texas my friend is still lambing and I asked to put it on this list. The rest of the flock is lambing normally, no dead lambs...
Does moorit ever appear in Bluefaced Leicesters? Haven't ever seen it. (how about spotted BFL's, Ag BFL's).??? stephen dpsponen <dpsponen@...> wrote:...
Barbara, Hi. Glad you still have sheep, Barb. I have not heard from you for many moons. Sorry about the lambing deaths. Off the cuff, since multiple fetus were...
Barbara, A couple years ago we had two white Rambouillet ewes lamb. Each ewe had twins and each ewe had one white and one Moorit lamb. The Moorit lambs were ...

Hi Brown Sheep Breeders: I don't generally breed for browns but have quite a number of hetero blacks in my Shetland flock. In my program where I was trying to...
Hello All: I have had a few problems posting to the list as I get an error message saying that there is insufficient storage. I expect it is a Yahoo probem...
Oh Barbara - how awful! I wonder if the brown color might be a result of whatever caused the deaths, rather than the other way around. My only experiences with...
Hi Once I thought I had got moorit lambs in a white breed of sheep. These moorit lambs were born dead. A closer examination of their fleeces revealed however...

We raise shetland sheep and have never seen any difference between moorit colored lambs and any other color/pattern/marking. Moorit shetland lambs thrive ...
There are pictures in the files, that thought crossed the breeders mind as she had never had moorits in her base breed. She took pictures and had two breeders...
I just looked at the photos. I would be interested in following the black lamb in the first photo as it matures. It looks very much like my shetland moorits at...
I had something similar happen years back. We raise Finnsheep so there is color there, but I had bred two white animals together and had a set of trips or...
Dr Sponenberg Where would I find these early works on Wensleydales? Were the Lincolns pure bred or had they been bred to a moorit to get the color in? Thank...
