[Blackbelly] An all black blackbelly lamb

[blueberryfarm]

One of our older ewes had twins yesterday.  One of them is typically 
colored, the other, a ram lamb, is completely black except for a patch of 
dark brown on both shoulders.   He is very striking in appearance.  I may 
keep him as a novelty.  Do any of you experience an occasional lamb with 
such markings?

I've seen quite a few different patterns with black, when shopping for
lambs to start my flock:

Look at the little guy in the top right.

this breeder had a couple different patterns going. they all looked
cow-like with white and black.

if you look on the right side, a ram with an almost all white rear end
and legs.
