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...

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...

Hello Group, I am one of the breeders who is using Gotland semen on various breeds - Shetland, BFLxBL, and Finns here. I've been trying to predict the...
Hi Franna For what it's worth, I would expect Extension to produce a solid color lamb, either black or brown. My understanding is that it "neutralizes" all...
Franna, Your Gotland crosses are very interesting indeed. It is a breed and color and fleece like no other. Quite a unique breed. It is possible your BFLXBL is...
