Renee -- Is this one of your new babies? Except for the long tail, this one looks like it could be an Icelandic. I don't know much about the Ouessants --...
Hi Catherine yes very much so, ouessants are one of the more primitive breeds and I confess it is one of my newest babies :-). I hesitate to ask but seeing as...
Renee -- We do get phaeo staining quite often (I don't know about the other breeders, but I do believe it's common with Icelandics.) I must confess to...
Hi Catherine interesting photos. and nice ram lambs! what pattern would you call Cooney 2? I don't suppose you have a photo of him in his birth coat? or one of...
Introduction: My name is Corrine Davis and I am a veterinary pathologist. My husband and I live in north-central Oregon (near Maupin) and we are starting a...
Corinne, Wonderful to have you here! We started our flock of Navajo-Churro sheep not quite two years ago, with no prior sheep experience. The wonderful colors...
Hi, I have put pictures of our latest ewe lamb in the photo section. Our questions are; how to register her in term of markings and how unusual are these...
I put three photos under Ewe Can Do It. The ewe is rather unique, I think; socket, yuglet. Notice that the tips of her ears are black and the tip of her tail...
Welcome Corrine, I too live in Oregon, between Portland and Seaside. Have known Ingrid for years. I am sure you have a wonderful startup flock if you bought...
Hi Penny I checked for you. He's pink skinned all the way to his little pink nose! http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd278/SperedBreizh/Photo100.jpg sorry its...
Thank you Laurelen! I have learned a lot from your e-mail, but I definitely need to read up on sheep color genetics from the start and work my way through! ...
Well, this guy kind of defies labeling. Here is a picture of him with his dam and his twin sister a few days after birth. The best we can tell is we'd call...
Catherine, what breed is this lamb? I raise pureblood finnsheep and it is not an uncommon facial marking at all. If he has black and white spots in his...
Hi Catherine I'm afraid I don't get any attachments sent to this list you could post a photo of him in the photo files section or send me a pm? thanks Renée ...
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd278/SperedBreizh/Photo262.jpg both year old wethers. both BBB? MmMm one shorn this morning, the other to do. Renée -- I...
Hi Renee: Thanks for posting the photo. I hope you can get some breeding stock carrying the same genetics for your experiments. I assume from your note that...
I find the "dirt" color only in my modified blacks, and not in any of the Ag shetlands. The Ag sheep tend to sunbleach to oatmeal if they sunbleach at all....
Hi Gail: Yes, I only get the "dirt" brown colour on the tips of modified blacks with the pewter colour inside, not on Ag at all. Given that we are almost a ...
Hi Linda well i don't want to get too excited until I'm sure one way or the other but it looks as if I may have just had a little colour modified lamb i'll...
Hi Renee: I will keep my fingers crossed for your little lamb's colour. Let me know as you see it develop. Yes, always interested in samples :-). The fleece...
I am still trying to wrap my brain around the modified genetics. I finally got the basics down. I have some sheep that may be similar. I'll have to go snap...
Yes Fred and No you are not crazy as I explained we see this stripe often in ouessants and it seems to delineate the change between differing types of hair on...
I haven't had enough coffee yet to get my head around your theory. I'll have to read it again later. I have been working on my own theory that I call the...
Hi, ouessants don't have any spotting(Ss) the most they get to is a poll or forehead spot and as they are predominantly blacks with only a small proportion of...
Hi! I have a small flock of Finnsheep in Snoqualmie, WA. I joined the group because I love genetic puzzles and color genetics in particular. Case in point: I...
