[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 5833818, member: 42308"] .....you WILL..... A black tup (2 recessive genes for black) on a black ewe (2 recessive genes for black) = black lambs If your ewes are homozygous for white then you'll get all white lambs, BUT they will all carry one black gene. When you breed them to a black tup you've then got a 1 in 3 chance of 'em throwing a black lamb, the others will be white (but black carriers). That's how black genes get 'hidden' in a population and then. from time to time, black sheep pop up from nowhere, as if by magic. [/QUOTE]
