Hello Kiwi- (and others interested in self-colored black in Soay sheep!) I am in Washington state, USA, and raise Soay sheep. I am breeding in particular for...
Very interesting ! We had a look at the link you sent. Phenotypically, the sheep look very like some Jacob crosses we produced with a Polwarth/Dorset/Ryeland...

Really? I did only see about 2 secs of the broadcast but the ewe didn't look like any of the Manx I have ever owned... Time for me to go to Specsavers perhaps?...
How exciting to find another Soay breeder seeking a significant bunch of self-colored blacks, and some with white too! Here is a link to a photo album of our...

I would love to see photographs posted! (Especially chocolate brown and "grey") Hint, hint! Wish I was able to swap with you. Gevan Marrs Washington state, USA...
Jacqui, I too would love to see pictures of your self-colored light phase sheep - the chocolate brown -- and especially of the "grey" ewe. What were the color...
Just posted a photo of my black and white ewe lamb - Backforest Firefly. I have been striving to achieve black and white for several years using various sire /...
Very neat. I would love to see the photos and pedigrees of several generations back to see how the self-colored and white came forth. Someday I will have one...
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...
I can follow it! I assume most know about Sue Furness's flock in Wales - I've studied their pedigrees quite a bit and hope to post a paper on it someday... ...
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...
