[Jacob-list] WHITE LAMBS

[Dan Carpenter]

Since it's almost impossible to eliminate recessive alleles from a
population (witness red in Holsteins), it's highly likely that there are a
few Jacobs out there that carry the genes necessary for white...and it
doesn't have to indicate crossbreeding.  I'd love to take a look at the
pedigrees of the parents!

Lambing just started for me, and with a surprise, a Totally white ewe.
No non-Jacobs on the farm since I started with Jacobs, or with neighbors.
Has anyone else had this happen before?
