[Jacob-list] herding dogs

Yes, Joan, the freckled lamb has four black legs up to the "knees."  The unfreckled one has only a black spot on one back foot.   I do love the "look" of the black legs.  The freckled lamb also appears to have a more "hand spinner friendly" fleece.   Of course it is too early for me to tell, but based on past experience, that is my guess.

  I think Royal's email below was meant to go to the List. Thanks for the 
  correction to Bob's address. 

  Curiosity on your lambs, Royal. There is a theory that freckling and spotting 
  on the legs are linked. So, could you tell me if that freckled lamb has leg 
  spotting and the other less or no leg spotting?

  Joan, 
  Bob's email is: rvnorton at rconnect.com.  Hope this works. 
  Rockies Joni presented us with 2 nice rams last night.  She is a first time 
  mother and doing a great job.   One lamb is 40ish% black and very freckled.   
  The other is 20ish % and no freckling.   Mom is freckled but nothing like the 
  lamb.  The sire is Kisakanari Tarkington and not freckled.  However, he is so 
  dark -80%- that if he were freckled I would not know it.  Since none of his 
  other lambs are freckled, I attribute it to Joni.
