[Jacob-list] Gender Linked Horns, Scurs, & Genetic Letter for Lilac

[ranchrat]

Heel low:

Has there been a genetic letter assigned to Lilac and what is it please?
I am being told that other mammals coined "lilac" are recessive brown
and recessive blue (b/b d/d genotype), but d (blue) is not found in
sheep.  Help?

Which breed of sheep has the sex linked inheritance in horns?  Certainly
not the Jacob I may presume!

Am being told that in this gender linked horn trait for sheep:  " rams
show the trait when they are either homozygous or heterozygous for it
and ewes only when homozygous."  

Gonna guess maybe the Sufflolk but that is a weak guess at best!?

Would scurs be a separate gene than full horns (like we see in Jacobs)
or is this a modified plus or minus kind of trait?  

Doggone & Chicken UP!
