Is the "R" an allele of one gene, and "Q" a second allele of the same gene? And are the two letters indicative of there being two chromosomes on which the gene lies? If so, then I guess there are also "RQ" and "QR" options as well.

That question if out of my league but I've never seen anything other than the 3 listed.

I have a question for you @Mike CHS
What are winters like here? This is my first year in TN.

They are normally fairly nice temperature wise but winters are wet. We normally have some periods of cold where it might get down in the 20's but they are few and far between. We have lambed from November through February and we lamb with a minimum of shelter other than wind breaks. We had 2" of snow a couple of times but there are times when we get some freezing rain. When that happens we are pretty much stuck at home till it thaws out. I love it because this is one of the few places I've lived that actually had a fall and spring.

Sounds nice! Thanks for the answer
I'm definitely looking forward to fall weather! When does it start to cool off?

The cat/kitten is comfortable with her living space in the hay barn but since I have never seen her leave it, I have to assume she is going out during the night. She is a bit strange as when you pet her she is almost aggressive trying to get more and when you walk away, she will strike out at your feet and hiss to keep you there. I'm not a cat person so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for that move but we shall see.

Mike, if you want her for a mouser, don't pet her too much, she will want to be a pet....I m sure you plan on getting her spayed, she may mellow some then, I would feed her e/o day so she hunts....that is what our cat does and he has gotten all the mice at neighbors place.....its a win win for us both

I do believe your feline is either "flirting" with ya....or she is coming into estrus....we've had several that have done that, and Calli does it now....and she is spayed...so, it is a 'faux' estrus....but she will play as rough as I will allow....

We had an early supper as Teresa had to go back to the kennel and since her helper wasn't able to be there. I made a butter sauce to go over strip steaks that I haven't made for a long time but it is awesome. Even Teresa loves it and she isn't a big anchovy person.

It is simple but tastes is perfect. It just has anchovies, capers, butter, minced garlic, lemon zest and salt. With a couple minor changes it is also a perfect compliment for Salmon.

Anchovies, absolutely love them ....thanks for the recipe Mike...will be making some

I have used them for several things but never told Teresa until recently since she believed she didn't like them. She had a favorite butter sauce from O'Charley's where she was a shift manager but she says she likes this one better.
