**FIRETHOrN is co-owned with and standing stud at Wild Thyme Farm, Morris, NY*** Firethorn is a full bolivian med. fawn herdsire from the Acera Marka line. We were so taken with his fleece quality we had to have him! He has fine bundled advanced fleece from his topknot to his toes that is uniform , bright, and super dense. His sire is full Bolivian . His mother is full Bolivian Acero Marka's Bonnie - out of top Canadian black herdsire, Acero Marka's Bernard. He definitely has the potential to produce much desired colorful cria with the correct females as dams along with improved fleece quality in terms of luster, super density and crimpy penciling. We are thrilled that in his first fleece entry ( our first skirted fleece) - 2O05 Nationals, he easily placed above many all Peruvians from top farms! Firethorn has tremendous confomation, a wonderful gait, straight legs and a classic typey head. His body is square and well balanced. He has large, evenly sized did I say large testicles and a good bite. We like him so much we repeated the breeding. Firethorn is the full brother to our Hagen Heights Ana Lynette. Best of all is his fleece, the type we hope to add to our herd of females, which exhibits high amplitude, medium frequency crimp and bundling, making it an effort to part it, wonderful handle and density, yet it opens like a book in the classic style desired by breeders. He settled his first four dams on the first try. ***Watch for his cria in the ring on the east coast this season!

Snowflake is a half Accoyo amazing Caligula daughter. At nineteen she still has very soft, dense fiber and is a great mom. This is one alpha female that doesn't act or look her age. She has produced exceptional offspring including the famous Grand Alero, Ice, our Venus, who has won multiple blue ribbons and a reserve championship, and Snowfire, who has already won a blue while just beginning his show career. Snow had a 3/4 Accoyo girl on 8/25/11. Her daughter, Athena, is amazing! Another girl in 2012- that's three out of four that are female since we've owned her. Emily Marie has grown into a beauty. After having surgery to remove a cancerous growth on her toe, I'm guessing she also had some internal cancer that caused her to lose a lot of weight. We felt it was best to put her down before the winter, as she would only lose more weight and die a painful death. We have her lovely offspring, Snowfire, Athena, and Emily Marie to keep her memory alive.

Description

Snowfire is a wonderful combination of Peruvian (Accoyo) and Bolivian genetics that has produced impressive fleece characteristics that is certainly apparent in Snowfire's fleece. He is healthy and strong with fine, gorgeous, dense bundles of medium frequency, medium amplitude, fiber crimped all around his body, from skin to tip with a staple length that is the longest I have ever seen on a cria. His maternal grandsire needs no introduction since he is the famous Caligula. The positive fleece characteristics of the Acero Marka line on his paternal side are evident. His genetics certainly plays a part in the attributes he brings to the table. A nice disposition completes the package. Although his typical shearing weight is over 10 pounds, Snowfire has not held his fineness. Therefore, we've decided to geld him. However, because of Snowfire's sweet disposition he is currently being used as a therapy animal through Pet Partners, Inc. Everyone loves this boy. He is so tolerant of people touching him. The first day I took him to an assisted living facility, he let people hug him. Just love this sedate guy!
