Different point of view .. Re: [Jacob-list] grayed wool to black s/p injury

[Joy Thomas, SonRise Farm]

I have been involved with horses for years. When a
horse with dark fur gets a cut, one must cover the
healing area with vaseline (or cut heal substance);
otherwise, the hair that grows back is WHITE!

This is neat - with a Jacob sheep the cut area grown
back BLACK!

Fred, is there a genetic reason for this?
