When we purchased Moonlight to add to our breeding program he was a young unproven male with flawless conformation and incredible fleece. With the genetics of Hemingway and Bueno from his sire Royal Rose and Legacy from the incomparable Legacy Gold on his dam's side we knew he was a genetic winner. The question was, could he produce? A son of Snowmass Royal Rose and Snowmass Legacy's Moonlight combines the powerhouse genetics of Peruvian Hemingway, Peruvian Bueno and 4Peruvian Legacy. He has exceptional, balanced conformation with excellent bone and wonderful proportion. He has a majestic presence and proud stance. His fiber has a high curvature and fine micron for elite fiber production. And YES, he produces! Moonlight's first cria was beyond what we had hoped for with his father's conformation and amazing fiber. The crias kept arriving and what a surprise, we have black, bay black and fawn! Who knew he would produce such dark colors with his trademark high frequency crimp and perfect bundles? With over forty cria to his name, we could not be happier with his contribution to our breeding program. Update: Moonlight is limited to two outside breeding as we are currently working to promote his stellar offspring. We do still breed moonlight to some of our elite females.

Description

Moonlight Chardonney is a lovely medium brown with white markings out of one of our favorite full Peruvian production females, Merlot. Merlot is a true black daughter of the well known Peruvian Black Mesquite. She has produced very well for us giving us three girls and one boy. We have enjoyed showing all of her offspring and they have all been ribbon winning. We were especially fond of showing her son "Osi" who is now owned by Hawks Willow Ranch. We have Merlot bred back to our most recent addition to herdsire row, Seacrest, and we are certain we will be pleased with the result. Because she comes from such a prolific female line, this gives us the opportunity to let Chardonney out of our program. We are pleased with the consistent nature of her fleece as it has the trademark crimp and bundling we are used to seeing from related offspring. It is also very fine and shows a good measure of density. She has a solid blanket in a rich medium brown. She has the same white face markings of her dam. Her sire is our own, Snowmass Royal Moonlight, son of the famed Royal Rose, giving Chardonney the genetics of Hemmingway, Bueno and Legacy on her sire's side. She is truly a genetic powerhouse and would make a delightful addition to any herd.
