Description
Need lasting FINENESS and consistent micron? keep reading - ask for a fiber sample from this year's shearing. We are a small farm and can't breed him to our whole herd but he's too nice to just hang out in my pasture & barn! His 2014 fiber testing showed an AFD of 22.1, SD of 4.2, CV of 18.8, and only 4.2 over 30 micron!!!
His son Prince Samuel has a 21.1 micron fleece with a 20.9 CV (same as last year) - beautiful hand! Multiple congratulations are passed along to the many farms who have chosen Cedar to sire their offspring. Again and again, he has proven worthy.
At age 7, Cedar earned yet another color championship! A CHAMPION produces a CHAMPION! Don't finalize your 2014 breeding decisions before you get a chance to see this sire's fleece. He is still very soft and has great density and staple length. He's holding at a mid-20 micron fleece with low CV - beautiful soft hand and great staple length!
We have already bred Cedar to several in our herd, so it's time to share the Champion bloodlines with another farm. Cedar has improved the fineness, density and more consistency in the micron with solid bone structure and great fleece coverage with all his offspring we've been able to evaluate!
How many 5 year old males do you know that had a CV of 16.6? WOW!!! And he passes this (along with all his other traits) on to his offspring! Remarkable stats - SD and % under 30 was still under 5% at age 5?? Cedar rocks! He has maintained his fineness and has produced fine, dense, consistent fleeces in colors from fawn to black in his cria.
For breeders desiring to enhance and upgrade their herds and breeding programs, consider the traits and lineage of Cedar. His grandsire (Matador) and sire (T Peruvian Trophy) provide the foundation for this solid sire.
