Happy is a handsome young male with great lines, nice coverage from head to toe, and great density. He settled his first females Spring of 2015, and every cria since has shown outstanding fiber attributes. Happy has 5PERUVIAN DOM ALAMIR and PPPERUVIAN YUPANQQUI in his pedigree, bringing those nice conformation and fiber characteristics. He is gentle natured, and easy to work with. Purchase this herdsire if you prefer a gentle, easy to handle male who's "assertive" with the females at breeding time. 135232223A AVID Microchip located at base of left ear.

Description

Splenda is a beautiful female with fine and crimpy fleece in a light apricot color. She has a sweet and gentle personality, and is extremely easy to work with. She is an attentive mother with abundant milk, and her first seven crias were easy births. Splenda's sire is from the Don Julio and Hemingway line. She exhibits many of the wonderful fiber characteristics associated with these great herdsires. Splenda has consistently produced EXCELLENT crias, who have had sub 20 micron counts. All of their fleeces have been hand spinners favorites, with comments such as "it's like working with cashmere" and "it's such a pleasure to spin". Splenda has been our BEST foundation female. She delivered a beautiful medium fawn female cria "Crane Creek's Lovely Rita" on 6/8/14 that was sold before weaning. Splenda delivered another beautiful female cria "Crane Creek's Sadie" on 3/8/16, sired by our Instant Karmal. Sadie was sold at only 3 weeks of age! (Of course, her dam travelled with her on loan to her new home until Sadie was weaned.) 2006 Histogram: 23.2 AFD This would fall in the SOFT range 20-24 AFD Splenda's price was recently dropped by 50% as she has been battling a nasty skin condition for four years now, and has lost some large spots of fiber along her spine. She's been treated with "Witches Brew" and is growing back some of the fiber that was lost, but we don't expect her to ever fully recover her blanket. She is our BEST producer of fine quality female crias, her new lower price only reflects the skin condition. Splenda should have at least another 5 or 6 high quality crias in her future, hurry and pick her up at this amazingly low price.
