you asked...... I have a couple of lamb questions: I had a nearly pure white (only three small spots of brown) lamb born from a white Dorper/St. Croix ewe bred to a purebred American Blackbelly. Does anyone know if white coloring is just so dominant that it allowed little Blackbelly color to come through?
i reply.. i have three white dorper ewes, all three of whom were bred to a BBB ram. In the past two years, Of the six lambs born each year ( they all twinned, five are mostly white with very little colour, and one is brown with white legs.) IF my results were average, you would have a one in six chance of a brown lamb! of interest, on the brown male lamb is showing sign of horns. Friendship is an horizon that expands as we approach it. =============================================== This message is from the Blackbelly Sheep mailing list (http://www.awrittenword.com/listserv/index.html).
