Quote:Matt in my research to prove to some Viking Age reenactors that there were black sheep I found out that the Hebridian breed commonly has black sheep.
Ah, well this does show that it wasn't such a rare phenotype in the past- so it's not so difficult to think that it might have been so even earlier and in other regions too. Their rarity nowadays could-well be a result of selective breeding FOR white ones.
Those paenulae are great Jef- and I'm very surprised at how difficult it is to see the hoods when down...
