Firefly's dam is also black and white - I have added her photo. Her sire is a dark mouflon BUT his parents are self-black (sire) and white (dam). I wasn't...

Ah! When I see the coat pattern of the dam, the lamb coat is far less surprising to me. Of course the sire's sire being self-black means the sire had to be...

The sire's dam is predominantly white with brown around the eyes and a brown collar - I will try to find a photo to post on the albums. The dam's sire was...

Oh yes - If the dam, sire, sire's sire, sire's dam, dam's sire, etc. have names that would me help keep them straight! Thanks Gevan Marrs In a message dated...

Hi all, I have a 1 pound soay lamb born yesterday - mom is very skittish but generally attentive to the baby. It is usually looking thin and hungry. I milked...
