[Jacob-list] Jacob lilac question

[Lemon, Evalyn]

I do consider the eye ring to be evidence of a lilac carrier. Please go into
more detail about this.  
 
I recommend Ingrid Painter's book "Jacob Sheep in America" for answers to
some of the questions I see on this posting.  The book can be ordered from
Ingrid at puddleduck at proaxis.com <mailto:puddleduck at proaxis.com> . Good
information about genetics. (Most of which, I don't understand.)

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.
