I really appreciate that you provide this type of information, it can get so confusing. I'm a shetland breeder of fifteen years and still don't understand their genetics fully.
@@SoftShetlandWool We actually have the "single-gene grey-mouflon" gene in our flock. This is super rare / extinct in Iceland but spontaneously (mutated) on a farm in the US about 10 yr ago. So, in Shetland terminology, you can actually get katmoget, gulgomet and Ag grey all at the same time. It's crazy!
Hi Marla - It could be the modifier, it also could be the Ag pattern which starts dark as a lamb then shifts to the lighter color. Glad you found it interesting, thanks!
I love these types of videos! Thanks for the detailed information.
You are very welcome! So glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for that - this one took a lot of time to prepare so I am glad you found it helpful.
Such a helpful video! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Jen - so glad you found it helpful!
This was very helpful and easy to digest! Thank you!
You are very welcome! Sheep color genetics are so fascinating!
This was very informative. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on some of your fleece😍
Thank you for the nice comment! Glad you found it interesting.
Great video! Thanks. We breed Icelandics and as you know, they have similar coat color genetics.
Thanks! Icelandics are so cool!

so interesting !!! a breeder i was talking to talked about the fading gene and i am guessing it is a modifier - the lamb was born dark and changed...
