Mika - Japanese for NEW MOON. Mika was the new moon for us, she was our first purchase. Like the moon she has shined upon our herd, with her Crias. She is a excellent Dam in every way. She is the Angel in our pasture. Her show winning Cria have ALL done well in the show-ring. For a girl at the age of 15, her fiber has the maintained its luster and crimp style. She still is rock solid! We are going to give Mika a breeding break, as said she has established us with a solid foundation of males and females. Sometimes a Gal needs a break. Mika needs to stand back and cherish what she has provided! We cherish our foundation girl!
