... Good morning, Barbara, and List. Every now and then, I check in to see if anyone's talking about Romneys. So sad about the losses of the lambs. If the...

Hi Holly, The light brown in Soays is moorit (BbBb), and the dark brown is black (B+B+ or BBBB). It is probably sunbleaching that make this effect. I have read...

I have seen what appeared to be blond Soays, similar to mioget in Shetlands, rather than Ag. Don't know if they were purebred or not. Saw them at Maryland...
I've studied the literature on this quite a bit over the last few years and tried to compare Soay sheep coat color genetics to other breeds. The light and dark...
Holly - I have been interested in obtaining a copy of Sheep and Man but had not heard it was reprinted. Where did you obtain a copy? Can you post a link to...
Gevan, Those are beautiful photos. They certainly illustrate the 4 types of soay sheep well. I will definitely go back to your web site to read more of the...
Hi Carol - Please note that if you want to look at lots of photos of our Soay sheep, please visit our main web page and then the Gallery, and the Picassa...
Hi Gevan, I enjoyed looking at all the photos of your Soays. I can see some variety in build and horn type. Very interesting. Bad Goat Bog Fedan is absolutely...
I just received my book and have started through it. Fascinating reading! Mine came from Amazon.uk and was reasonably fast.. about 10 days. Franna EverRanch...
Hi, I had some contact by emails with Yvonne McDonald some years ago, but she is not on this list any more and may have changed email address. She kept...
I just uploaded some pix of my newest lamb, one of triplets out of Breakfast the Churro/Katahdin cross ewe. He has the strangest markings on his face, like...

Hello All; I have a question about Extension and spotting. Does Extension cover up all white spotting? If so, can I assume that a black sheep with a white...
Hi Linda See info below from the mendelian site. Gail ... Locus name: Extension <> L<>ocus symbol: E Gene effect : The allele dominant black (ED) is a very...
Hi Gail: Thanks. I am interpreting "totally eumelanic" to mean no white anywhere on the sheep. So a white head spot or other small white spot would mean the...
That's the way I understood it to mean. Probably the only way to know for sure is to do test breedings. Sometimes it's worth it, and sometimes not. It would be...
I was under the impression that the extension locus only covered the Agouti locus. Therefore spotting would be able to occur. I have small head spots on ...
Hi Laurelen: Thanks for your input. Shetlands, the breed I am working with, have all sorts of head spots as well as the larger body spots. I don't want to ...
Jacobs are considered extension black, and have spots. My understanding was always that extension did not affect spotting at all. I have had numerous sheep out...
Hi Jennifer: Thanks. I guess I had better forget the notion of eliminating Extension if the sheep has solid and white. Any refinements, ideas or additional...
I am probably way out of line saying anything about this Extension question.....but I'm going to risk it because I think there could be an error in some of...
Hi Carol and others, Extension fascinates, confuses, and thus frightens me. I have a couple of questions ... 1. What was Extension introduced in the 1970s? ...
Extension black (dominant black) and spots do indeed go together - and frequently! This is the allele in Jacobs, Dorpers, Akaraman (I think) and also in...
