... I have used 3 or 4 mioget rams over the years, and i have not noticed any increase in mortality in their lambs. I have had several miogets and some fawns...
when using a mioget ram on your flock, were the results you hoped for out of other "modified" (mioget or emsket) sheep or out of black, moorits, grays,etc.?...

I understand the definition of the word "cumulative", but what do you mean when you ask if Ed could be "cumulative".?I guess I don't understand your question. ...
Hi, oops I tried to keep it short so as not to get lost in describing it. Specifically I was thinking in terms of phenotypical expression of colour. is there a...
OK :) I think I can answer this one, then. The agouti colors available to us are located on chromosome 13 of our sheep. This is NOT the chromosome that...
The ultimate expression of recessive black cannot be dominant. The mechanism for recessive black is external to the cell, the mechanism for dominant black is...
Hi, I am making up our breeding flocks of Navajo-Churros for the fall. We have four brown ewes and mated them all with the same white and tan ram last summer:...
thanks wasn't thinking of recessive black but recessive expression. ie abscence of colour( white ) and extension as a see saw rather than an on off. would...
It is indeed "on off" and not a seesaw. The white areas of a Jacob are from white spotting, which is an absence of melanocytes. The key here is to try to...
Yes I had understood that the white was spotting. I was referring to Jacobs being dominant black, that is when mated out to most breeds of white sheep they...

I agree with you, Penny. I believe that is what our Dr. Phil was saying. I don't want to sound like a "broken record" but I would suggest, again, the wonderful...

Hi Laurelen, good question as I understand it they range through beige and taupes but a good number are lilac/grey. If Ed is be expressed cumulatively then...
my understanding is that Jacob x Dorset lambs are indeed black and white. It was news to me that someone thought they would routinely be beige or lilac. If the...
Hi Dr. Phil: Good to hear from you. I appreciate your help and input, as always. I assume that, if some Jacobs are hetero for Dominant black, there is the ...

Hi Ingrid From what I've learned, all sheep are either black or brown. White is not a color, but a pattern. So, maybe the lamb is genetically brown with the...
well this is interesting will investigate further; I have at least three sources stating dorset horns are different for crossing out; quote from an email in...
