still trying to get my head round things I have delved into the archives. ouessants are considered in the same family as other primitives , northern short...
Hi Renee- I don't know too much about ouessant (including how to spell it!), but have been raising Soay sheep for a few years, and in particular focusing on...
If he is black, not brown, then he has at least one BB. Probably he is BB/BB, but it is hard to be sure without a lot of test breeding (Bb is the brown gene)....
Hi, does anyone have a good photo of a gray pattern black? I have one Ewe who has progressively become apparently grey undercoat; I put this down to ageing....
Hi Renee: I breed Shetlands and most of my colour genetic info is related to them. You can see lots of pictures of the various colour/patterns in the Shetlands...
Thanks Linda thats given me masses to go on:-) Renée ... From: Linda Wendelboe To: sheep-color-genetics@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 7:39 PM ...
Hi Renee :) Here is couple pictures of my black/grey boy: See also file "Aarre" (Trasure in English btw...) on upperside of site, to see his daughter. ...
In my experience, what determines Ag/A? vs age-graying is the speed of the graying. Ag's hints are visible at birth, and most wool growing in the first 6...
My experience is that Ag produces a white inner coat, with color in some or all of the outer coat. Age-greying, or iset, seems to affect the outer coat...
Hi Renee- If I understand the coat color genetics correctly, the dominant - to - recessive options at the agouti locus are Aw (white), [Ag (Grey badgerface),...

Hi Gevan it will take me a while to read and re read your post to digest all of it but to answer the basic question do non uniform patterned ouessants exist i...
Hi Renee- I see now the sheep you point out. The ram in your blog, on the right side, labelled "Blue / Grey", and lower down the one lamb labelled "Paint...

Hi Renee: Most age grey sheep that I have seen grey out gradually. The white fibres start coming in the first year, increasing every year, though some sheep...

To me, the key is that the inner coat of an Ag sheep is white, while the outer coat (or at least part of it) is colored. The reverse appears to be true for...
Hi, Gail--sorry to miss you at MFF this year, we did one of our once-every-3-years jaunts :) You wrote: <<To me, the key is that the inner coat of an Ag sheep...
I think Gail has it nailed. Aa/Ag lambs are often born totally solid black or brown with a few white hairs on the head, grey tummy/testicles and then after a...
Hi Katja: Shetlands also have a colour with each fibre being grey, not a mix of white and dark. It appears to have a different genetic base than Ag, at least...
Hi Holly I saw Zack from across the barn, but didn't have a chance to say hello before he disappeared. Sorry to have missed you both. Hmmm--well, my flock has...
Hi Linda! Now I got totally confused, just when you thought than you have learn something... You use somehow different letters. Have you explained them...
