I really appreciate that you provide this type of information, it can get so confusing. I'm a shetland breeder of fifteen years and still don't understand their genetics fully.

Great video! Thanks. We breed Icelandics and as you know, they have similar coat color genetics.

@@SoftShetlandWool We actually have the "single-gene grey-mouflon" gene in our flock. This is super rare / extinct in Iceland but spontaneously (mutated) on a farm in the US about 10 yr ago. So, in Shetland terminology, you can actually get katmoget, gulgomet and Ag grey all at the same time. It's crazy!

so interesting !!! a breeder i was talking to talked about the fading gene and i am guessing it is a modifier - the lamb was born dark and changed...

Hi Marla - It could be the modifier, it also could be the Ag pattern which starts dark as a lamb then shifts to the lighter color. Glad you found it interesting, thanks!
