[Jacob-list] Color & Fleece Texture

[Jim Spahr]

I have noticed in our own flock that the sheep with the finer fleeces seem to sunbleach more than the ones with coarser fleeces.  Since all the sheep prefer to be outside most of the time, they are exposed to alot of weather.  The coarser fleeces seem to stay blacker, while the softer ones turn a dark brown/black.  I have seen no connection to the color and crimp.

                                                                           Mary Spahr
