Description
If you want fineness that lasts, Josephine has IT! Josephine is a daughter of the prized 6Peruvian Romantico [ARI #808074: light fawn]. It is from him that she inherited fleece that is still fine at 10 years of age. Her 2010 son, Juaquin [light brown with indications of grey in his top knot], also inherited that Romantico fineness.
Josephine breds very easily, is an excellent dam, and has a very calm, confident disposition, but the pictures do not do justice to her elegant stature. She is a pleasure to watch as she walks or pronks in the pasture.
Josephine has been rebred to our fine, dense, indefinite dark brown WESTIN STARR [ARI #30018481], sired by Silas of Bolivia [see information below] and sire of Juaquin [pictured], presenting the possibility of a grey cria with wonderful fiber! Why not add the Peruvian/Bolivian genetics of Romantico and Silas to your herd with this two-in-one package?
If FINENESS and ELEGANCE are what you are looking for, consider JOSEPHINE.
SILAS of BOLIVIA [DOB: April 12, 1996][sire of Westin Starr]: multiple blue ribbon winner, greatly admired for his lustrous, fine, snow-white fleece with tight crimp and lack of guard hair. According to a geneticist, his true color may have been dilute bay, based upon his ratio of white/non-white offspring.
Imported in 1998 (the last and best importation), his importation fiber statistics were:
AFD: 17.1
SD: 3.7
CV: 21.6
%>30: 0.5
