>>Thanks for the reply, I thought the same thing but was hoping they may go through a color change as they mature. It is good to know the genes are there to produce mustards, I may keep them afterall.

Let me be clear. I do think that baby you have is a Mustard Blonde. My point is that there is variation between babies and certainly between lineages. The animal on pg. 85 is descended from Michael Price's first Blonde he found way back in '92. I do not think they are related to Craig's Mustards. Craig's was lighter and more buttery than the other lineage, in my collection, but no less yellow. In any case, those lineages certainly went along different trajectories through time.

They do go through a color change (in general, they become more yellow). Please know that the animal on page 85 is at least 6-8 months old. I don't think you got a sour deal here.
