[Jacob-list] lamb color

[CARL FOSBRINK]

Hello Shel,
   
       I would say your lambs will stay about the color they are now. While your ewes look like purebred Jacob ewes of good quality your lambs were not sired by a purebred Jacob ram. The lamb on the left that is almost all black is typical of what a crossbred Jacob lamb looks like. The other lamb is not a lilac it just is not the typical cross color. This does not mean the lambs will not serve a purpose, just that they are not registrable Jacobs.
   
  Regards,
  Carl

        When do you know what color a lamb will stay?  I have twin lambs born 05Mar07 that are black- one is almost all black, the other is black but "frosted".  Would the second lamb be considered lilac?
