So the basis for these pages is to share some of my brain ramblings in reguards to my breeding plans. I enjoy reading other breeder’s plans, so why not share mine?
I’ll be including genotypes and phenotypes, my predictions for possible lambs, and hopefully pictures. To learn about Shetland color genetics and what genotypes and phenotypes are, please check out this lovely site {LINK}.
So I really REALLY like Mioget; which is a soft/honey brown color. SO I did this breeding group to hopefully produce some mioget's * fingers crossed*
Ram: - Freddys Rueben. Genotype: Solid moorit Phenotype: A/A b/b Ss/? dd/?. He should carry atleast one dilute gene (dd), and one spotted gene (Ss)
Ewes: - Freddys Mabel Genotype: Phenotype: Predictions?: 100% brown, %chance of mioget, % of moorit. (per egg)
- Freddys Shaniqua Genotype: Phenotype: Predictions?: 100% chance of brown, % mioget, % moorit, % dark brown
Breeding Group 2
This is basicly the group who can't be bred to Andy or Rueben, or whom I really want a spotted/brown/dilute animal out of. Lucas is a grab-bag of diggerent colors. So these should be interesting!
