Hi Per thank you for your very interesting comments. take your point re dark lamb http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/kanisha001/EmmaandMum.jpg this photo...

We are new to sheep. We have one of these sheep, but a churro: http://www.icelandicsheep.com/mouflon_lambs.htm Today we had to take him to the vet so I had a...
Black and Tan and Brown and Tan are seen in N-C sheep. It was my third color that came into my flock from what looked like solid black rams and solid white or...
Hi Penny, I had 3 lambs last year that look like your grey mouflon. I posted one (a ewe) a few months back and contrasted her with the black, dark brown and...
Hi Ingrid, Thanks so much for writing. The website I pointed to wasn't mine -- my lamb is practically the duplicate of the lamb on that site, and I have yet to...
I notice that some of our members r frome the UK. So I was thinking maybe someone could tell me how much L2.5 is in US dolllars so that I might obtain one of...
Do sparkling whites have silver in their coats like a sparkling blk or are they just very white. I read somewhere that they carry the Ss gene for spotting...

Hi Maggie, Just write to the Unversity of Agriculture in Reykjavik and request Adalsteinsson's book - Volume 2,1. A few years ago the book was $15 ... but...
In answer to your other question, Ed is the Extension gene with the dominant black allele, which causes a sheep to be solid black or brown regardless of what...
Yes, and also ED is responsible for our apparently white N-C ram siring three solid black lambs this year, along with various others, including white, brown...
Franna, I didn't mean he was white -- I meant he looks white. And he threw two lambs with pink tongues and pink skin this year, from mothers who are both brown...

Hi Penny, Holly and all: Thanks, Holly, for the great summary. Also, Franna made a really good point in an earlier thread. If you want to make absolutely...
So I was just lucky to get these black lambs from brown ewes and an apparently white ram? Interesting ... I'd like to know how that's possible. I am new to...
I still am not clear why you want to eliminate ED. Identify it, yes. I can see that. But why eliminate it? The births of patterned lambs from solid parents...
It sounds like your white ram is Awt/Aa BB/B? If you got some brown lambs he would also be Bb. The Awt will cover any other color unless ED is present. The...
