I heard someone mention "burrit" also meaning light belly with a dark back and sides. any help would be appreciated! She is also Ag. You can find her on my blog.

I think this marking can be quite confusing sometimes.Tammy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10931554158709322638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091197546868544071.post-19818241331547554972007-06-16T06:30:00.000-07:002007-06-16T06:30:00.000-07:00I'm no expert, but Duncan definitely looks gulmoge...I'm no expert, but Duncan definitely looks gulmoget to me, and his son looks likely, too. But I would say Cate's one ram lamb is Ag grey, and his light areas just happen to be in similar areas to a gully.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091197546868544071.post-58273565871850929312007-06-15T18:54:00.000-07:002007-06-15T18:54:00.000-07:00Thanks Nancy - that is very helpful information.Th...Thanks Nancy - that is very helpful information.<BR/>This genetics stuff is just starting for fascinate me. Most of my sheep are solid markings - although I do know that they carry lots of spots.<BR/>As a matter of fact - the twin lambs born yesterday - one looks gulmoget, <BR/>and the other is just wildly spotted.<BR/>Of course Merlin's picture is on the blog, I will try to get a picture<BR/>of Esme to put up as well - she is basically a light grey ewe with <BR/>phaeo markings.<BR/>I'm really starting to wonder about these phaeo markings and exactly what that symbolizes.<BR/>Any opinions?Tammy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10931554158709322638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091197546868544071.post-91600489467736912712007-06-15T18:05:00.000-07:002007-06-15T18:05:00.000-07:00Fascinating!!!

I just looked through my "Colour Census Illustrated" and on the main page describing Katmoget and Gulmoget it does say: "...the underparts, extending to the legs and up the hindquarers on either side of the tail, are pale. But the pale colour does not normally extend to the chest area. The lower jaw and the muzzle, however, are pale, as are the markings near the eyes -<B> someimes encircling them.</B>" (my emphasis><BR/><BR/>There are a number of illustrations in the census that are classified as gulmogets that do not show the typical eye "slashes" that I though Gul's were supposed to have...<BR/><BR/>Regardless of what the proper name for his markings may be ~ that is one, GORGEOUS ram!!!
