[Jacob-list] lilac

[spotted_sheep at bluefrog.com]

Yes, that is exactly what I am seeing in my lambs. I would call it lilac, yes : ) The spots on my lambs last as well, just become less evident as the wool grows out. I have never seen one with that much color going on though.

I'm wondering if you all think that what I'm calling tawny spots are  
what you would call 'lilac' spots?

She had a lilac ram lamb this spring.

Pics below.

Lali, 2010, body spot on back and below right ear - these have not  
lasted, or maybe I can't tell the lighter spots from her faded dark  
at shearing time?




Lali, 2010, face and ear spots, which have lasted as well as some on  
her front legs.





Lali 2011 - spot on face very evident
