Irish sheep have dye put on their hind quarters to identify whose flock they belong in. When the sheep wander around the countryside grazing, they sometimes end up a long way from home. The local farmers each have an identifying color or combination of colors so that if a sheep marked with blue ends up with those marked with red, the locals know who the sheep belongs to. A simple but effective system!

So can a blue-marked ram and red-marked ewe breed & make little purple baby sheep? 🙂
