Ranger is the son of CCNF Cameron, the multiple champion true black herdsire that has one of the top three black fleeces that we have ever seen in our years in the business. We rarely buy breedings to unproven males, but we were in line when he opened up. Crossed with our best black female, Black Opal, we got exactly the fleece we were looking for. There is nothing lacking; fine, bright, dense, and structured. We also got a few things we didn't entirely expect, like the white accents, but hey, if he is puting his fleece on girls, we can work with that! Of his first eight cria, seven are solid dark brown or black, and one is a beautiful patterned gray out of a gray dam.

When we made a trip to purchase a brown, bred female, we came home with a black, maiden named Shanakee. We fell in love with this beautiful Silvio daughter at barely 8 months of age and we certainly have not been sorry. Shanakee's dense fleece is incredibly soft and crimpy. She has passed along her solid bone and beautiful coverage to every one of her crias. A Silvio daughter who produces both black and grey. Her first cria was a grey Reserve Champion and multi-blue ribbon female. Shanakee produced numerous, oustanding, herdsire quality black males. Capital Punishment, C-Cret Weapon, Catalist and Chico are a few. Cascade is Shanakee's and he's silver grey. We were so pleased with Cascade and his first cria that we decided to breed Shanakee to Sparks again. Well the cria has arrived and YIPPEE it's a girl. Since Shanakee has only produced black and grey before this, I was quite surprised when she delivered a brown cria!!!! But hey, she finally had another girl and a nice one too!!! This little female has been named 5C's Carumba. Except for the brown, she's just what we expected. She's got a very solid frame, beautiful head and nice little twizzles in her soft soft, fleece. Shanakee has been bred to our multi-champion Contesto. This will be Contesto's first cria and we expect it to be nothing short of spectacular!!!!!!
