Hello Everyone: I have some questions about colour and how things might work in a breeding up program, such as being used for the Gotland development project...
Linda, YES! There is at least one publication assigning Gotlands a separate allele at A - appropriately called "Agg". I have been calling the crossing you...
I would not say that this would work with blackface though. It appears to be more than just a single gene, and crossbred sheep show a wide variation in the...
Hi Jennifer: So, if there are more genes that make up the blackface, it is a little more complicated to put the phenotype back together after the cross. Have...
Hmmm, it appears I misunderstood your use of "blackface" pattern, Linda. I was addressing the Ab, At, Abl, and Ag patterns with "solid" faces rather than the...
...and on the cross back: We have one mule-type ewe, Scottish Blackface sire, the same BFLxBL dam, who is white with speckled face and legs. Her color is...
Hi Franna: Are the lambs all born white with speckled faces or do they have some body colour too, that fades out? Also, I was wondering if you ever had...
Must sell! These guys have to go. Your choice of three April black purbred Finnsheep black ram lambs with great fleeces, $185 each with papers obo. Ready to...
... Speckle faces/legs have been a pet topic of mine for years and I still can't figure it out. In Navajo-Churro, we have lots of white sheep with black, dark...
Hi Connie: Good to hear from you. Thanks for the input. So, if I understand in the range flocks you are describing, the white face (likely AwtAwt) x Blackface...
Hi Linda Most of the commercial (whiteface X blackface) crosses that I have seen here in the Midwest have those speckled faces and legs. In most cases, the...

Since you're discussing blackfaced Awt sheep I will join in with a question. My neighbor has British longtails, most of them pure whites with dark nostrils....

Hi Per: Thanks for your input. I will keep in mind that the cross will likely introduce more modifiying colour genes. There does seem to be quite a colour...
Hi Holly In the 1970's Stefan Adalsteinsson and a few others went to the island of Gotland to see the Gute and the Gotland sheep (Adalsteinsson, S. och...

I had 2 gray katmoget lambs born this year who have some markings that are different from what I'm used to seeing on my katmogets. Besides the normal katmoget...
Hi Maureen I have had the same thing, primarily in the greys, but in one or two fawns as well. Most traced back to Greyling, but I have had a couple that are...
I had several born that way this year.....all go back to Dillon, Greyling or Minder. (in some cases combinations of these 3). stephen ... [Non-text portions...
Jostein, If the Brit.Longtails are wool only and do not have hair in their fleece, the badger pattern can be very pale because the finer wool fibers do not ...
Hi Connie "Has anyone seen Dorper (African Black Heads) crossed on white breeds?" University Of WY had a wool specialist from SA and he started a program...
Per, Thanks for the insight into the Gotland "Agg". I read an additional paper where there was some test breeding, but there was not enough evidence to ...
Hi Carol (& Connie & Barbara) I've seen black-headed Dorper crossed with white Romneys and that too gave a range from black with a bit of white to big ...
Connie, I have thought so too, that wool fibers in Br. longtails would have the color pattern of the inner wool fibers of the dual coated spæls, but many of...

There is only one show (auction for rams) up here/year. For this year it was on this weekend. Pictures are available: a.. Kainuunharmas -->Finnish grey a.....

Thankyou Katja, for the many pictures of Finnsheep rams. Having raised this breed for 15 years I appreciate the opportunity to compare the rams' body...
