Hi, I must be asking some really dumb questions, so I'll just put it out there if anyone has any better ideas or can tell me where i'm going wrong I would...
Renee, I know in my Navajo-Churro, I have what I call fading red sheep. They are born very red and the face and legs stay reddish. I do list these as Awt. I...
Hi Laurelen your guess is as good as mine:-)) I found a small piece of text written by adalsteinsson stating that the brown karakul was almost certainly at...
Hi Laurelen, Our Awt churro ram gave us one white with only the tiniest bit of tan (now an all white ewe lamb), one white with a tan collar and a very speckled...
Brandon, I love your idea about a NC sheep-List group. Would you mind if I post the list site to the other officers of the Natural Colored Wool Growers ...
We could discuss marketing ideas, cross breeding, lots of business-related things that might not fit so well with the genetics list. Allen (and Penny) “The...
Laurelen I reread your post I think I get what you are saying about the "pattern" just being that which is left in the hair after the phaeo has faded from the...
Hi Renée, I looked at your blog. Your sheep are soooo unbelievably cute. Some of our Finnsheep lambs used to get this pattern of reddish tan on the top of...
Hi Fred yes I fell for their cute factor too:-) there is not thought to be any spotting in ouessants save for the white poll spots as you can see it clearly...
Renee, It is very likely that the red sheep and the warm blacks are carrying brown. I know most of my red ewes have given me brown lambs. Yet I do not recall...
The Navajo-Churro often have white lambs with tan or reddish spots on the neck, or some place else on the body. Some of them fade to white as they age, others...
The picture of your Ouessant lamb seems to be slightly grayer than my darker reds. I think it is the same thing I see in my lambs. Laurelen ************** Gas...
Good picture Renee, I think lambs are so cute. Especially when there are several colors together. Laurelen ************** Gas prices getting you down? Search...
Have you tried scanning it into a computer and magnifying the image to really look at the individuals fibers? I found that some brown and some blacks of mine...
I myself think lambs are the cutest thing on earth. Right now we have two Great Pyrenees pups, and they are cute, but not so cute as lambs. Penny “The man...
Hi Laurelen, If what I am thinking is of any sense at all then you should be able to increase the intensity of the phaeo by breeding like to like ( i am...
I have not done the scanning as you suggest. Need to get a scanner. I have thought looking under a microscope may tell the same thing. It is very likely that...
Yes, Renee. I believe breeding the darkest red/tan to the darkest red/tan will give you the darker intensity. A number of years ago, a lady fell in love with...
Hi Laurelen interestingly the very dark headed ewe was out of two that weren't really that intense one more so but the original dark headed ewes dam only...
Hi I found this post ( below) lurking in the files. I like this alot! as a complete non academic can anyone tell me how I go about getting a copy of this...
