[Jacob-list] Jacob lilac question

[Linda]

I've seen a condition where a black spot appears to "bleed" and the over all 
appearance is mottled.  In this situation, the part that is grey used to be 
white.  The birth fleece often has a faint tint to the area surrounding the 
spots, even though the bleeding may not show up for a few years.  Not sure if 
that was even your question, but I don't consider it evidence of lilac.
I do consider the eye ring to be evidence of a lilac carrier.
