Hi List; I don't know that I have ever posted to this list- though I have been a member for quite some time. I had been set to no mail for some reason. I have...
Hi Nicole True spotting (S locus) is a different locus than extension (E locus) , so both can be present in the same animal. Also, extension is a different...
Thanks Gail; So what you are saying is that the extension dominant gene will also hide spotting- as it is a pattern? You are saying both can be present- but...
Hi Nicole, Spotting is not a pattern. So you can have an ED, Extension dominant animal that is either black or brown, but also shows spots. The ED, only...
Hello, Nicole You are so right to be confused IF you have the extension dominant gene present. My experience has been with Romneys...but the general concepts...
So then, I suppose the ONLY Finns that I know do not have the ED gene are either the white ones, or the badger/katmoget/grey boy. As well if any of the...
Hi Nicole Spotting in not a pattern. Spotting is at the S locus, patterns are at the A locus. To the best of my knowledge, extension only hides patterns, not...
Hi Nichole, You seem to have a good understanding of color genetics. I'd love to see photos of your ram. If indeed he is badgerfaced, that seems to be rare...
Yes, I'm an idiot- if I would have thought about that long enough I would have known that. Rabbits- same thing- they can be chestnut(A) or otter(At) or self(a)...
When going for moorit color - ewe is a 75% moorit australian bond - is there any color preference for the ram? I used a wonderful mostly cormo dominant black...
... As a fellow Icelandic breeder, I can confirm that spotting can tend to have similar placement in particular lines. However, the spotting "pattern" you...
For those of use trying to learn about color genetics in the "English" breeds, I would like to give a plug for Maggie's book, "A Breeder's Guide for Recessive...
Thank you so much, Martha. That you risked and took a "flyer" with an unknown author/book is something I am grateful for. Please watch your Christmas mail pile...
HI Franna, Not sure if Nicole has any photos of her silver badgerface Finn ram yet, but I do because he came from my Stillmeadow Flock in NY. If you go to my...
I had no trouble finding the photos. Go to the "Photos" section on the yahoogroups website for our group, then select "list" as the way you want to look at...
Renee, The Stillmeadow has two albums, one empty. Keep looking. if you sort the list by the name of the person who created it, both albums come up together ...
Cheers, I had found the emtpy one. lots of nice pics in the other album. anyone any thoughts on dalmatian spotting and holstein pattern???? Renée ... From:...
Maybe I should have shown pictures before I sold Mooner. Now I wish he was still in my flock. I did get a ewe from exactly the same genetics who is similar,...
Well, I for one am certainly glad you did decide to sell him!! I'm not certain- but he could very likely be the first of his kind in Canada. He has been bred...
Nicole and others....I have just set up another album. It is entitled Stillmeadow Finnsheep, and it contains the photos of the Finns which I got to replace...
Renee.....In my flock (Stillmeadow) the Holstein and the Dalmation patterns come from the same genetic lineage...never am certain what will show up. A white...
Elizabeth, I just wanted to thank you for posting the lovely photos of your spotted Finns-- I bought my first trio to breed this year-- a fawn, I think, ram, a...
Hi Elizabeth. I find the whole pattern thing fascinating I am curious to the dalmation pattern and holstein or piebald pattern both showing together is this...
For those with an interest, I have just posted a new album, Stillmeadow Finn Piebalds 1998-2008, which shows the evolution over the past 10 years with spotting...
Since you know Icelandic patterns maybe you can answer this: A couple of years ago I saw a picture of an Icelandic sheep who looked to have "calico" markings...
... Without more details, and preferably a picture, I could barely venture a guess. Obviously, the sheep was positive for spotting. Were there patches of...
... Hello, You are probably referring to this article by Adalsteinsson -- here is an excerpt from the abstract: A black-moorit mosaic-colored Icelandic ram S....
I had a copy of the photo of Skrauti in my paper files: Well, the photo I tried to put here wasn't allowed to show. I'll try one more time to attach it. If...
