Hi Laurelen and all, I have questions: If a lamb has facial markings - like a dark patch on the head, eyes and/or muzzle on an otherwise white with some tan...
Dear Ingrid, Regarding "...giving a symbol to the lamb's pattern..." : the pattern is just that : a pattern. The brown versus black is a difference in the...
Ingrid, From what I see in the Navajo-Churro. I believe that the sheep that look white, except for some dark areas on the face and possibly a little tan in...
Hi Laurelen and Maggie Thanks for your input. One of these days this may sink in. ... Good! ... at least I don't have to relearn this! I think I'll email you...
Hi group, I disagree that a white sheep with colored areas is a colored sheep with a big white spot. Yes, that can be the case, but I've also seen them ...
Totally agree with that but go further E+ to Ed is just a progession from an apparently all over white sheep to an all over black sheep but still Awt at ...
Our white lamb with black teardrops has, also, a black spot on her neck the size of a couple of fifty cent pieces. She has dark rimmed eyes. I bought her as a...
Hi Franna, For as many lambs as I've had that show extensive tan or darker brown spotting here and there, and with colored facial markings and leg markings, I...
Is there any mileage in the similarity of expression of Ag and colour modified sheep? solid birth coat later the fading out of the wool, eye rings and light...
Dear Renee, Here I go again...trying one more time. There is not a "progression" from extension wild to extension dominant. Thinking of it that way is like a...
Hi Renee and all: WRT E+E+ and Ed and the Agouti series of alleles, the present accepted theory gives us predicable breeding results, at least with the...
Hi Linda thanks I wasn't sure if what I had written was making any sense to anyone but me ;-) .Specifically I wasn't looking at any pattern other than Ag. I...
Hi Renee: Just my take on it but I think any theory of Extension also has to deal with how it impacts on all Agouti alleles. I used kamogets (badgerface) in...
Hi Maggie thanks for your reply; do not worry about being forward I find using a sledge hammer will often help get things into my head;-) will read and digest....
Dear Renee, Thank you so much for your understanding of the intent of my e-mail. Just one additional thought : you and Linda are questioning the "intensity" of...
Hi, is it possible to determine colour genotype in some white sheep from the nose leather colour? known Awt Aa with the potential to be either BBBB BBBb or...
Hi Renee, I've discovered in my white Shetlands (Awt/Aa) the following: Brown nose leather/eye rims = Bb/Bb Mottled black/brown nose leather/eye rims = BB/Bb ...
Shetland/Finn/Dorset crosses seem to follow the same pattern. I have a white AwtAa with a black nose and black ear spots and she has thrown white or black or...
Well! Our ubiquitous, charming and colorful big lamb Holly was shorn today. She is a medium blue gray and tan. The creamy tips of her body wool don't go down...
Hi Penny did you keep a sample of the fleece? Renée ... From: Penny Ford To: sheep-color-genetics@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2008 11:19 PM ...
We have all the fleece. I tried to scan it, but the color did not come out accurately. We don't have a digital camera right now but I am going to take some 35...
Good morning, It all starts in two days, on Friday, October 17, at the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival, Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, where the Romney...
I will be teaching a class next month on sheep breeds and their wool for an SCA event with a focus on the Northern Short-tail breeds. I have samples of Finn...
I have been lusting after these sheep for 5 years. They are similar in size and appearance to Shetlands but both male and females have corkscrew horns. The...
Hi Kathy. Just to clarify - Super Sire Ltd is located in Oregon. Sherry Carlson Loma Rica CA www.WensleydaleSheep.com I am in Tennessee. Heritage Genetics is...
Actually, Martin Daily of SuperSires lives in Oregon, so if there is interest out here his travel fee is more reasonable. Can you provide some links for those...
OK, Oregon then. I thought it was Texas at first and someone told me it was Wisconsin but it is Oregon. Here are some links to pictures of Racka sheep: ...
They look like they have had a horrible fright that made their horns stick straight up ala cartoon hair! I bet they are difficult to shear with those horns...
I would be interested in obtaining a racka or part racka sheep, or possibly ai, I am in southwestern colorado. I possibly could travel to do the ai. I have...
