AOA# 833452DOB: 8/4/200123 yrs

With Pperuvian Moustachio and Don Julio in her distinguished pedigree, Cosita was destined to possess exquisite conformation and fiber quality. For her first breeding, we were excited about pairing her with her award-winning childhood playmate, Senor Sombra, and they didn't disappoint! Cosita's first cria arrived without assistance and she has proven to be a wonderful mom. She stamped all her great qualities on "Starbuck" . . . same typey head, golden color, dense bone structure and head-to-toe coverage in fine, lustrous, dense fleece. Cosita has since produced five other award-winning cria and has earned a permanent place in our breeding program. She is the epitome of a perfect production female.

Description

We knew that we wanted to add extreme fineness and lack of medulation to Cosita's line (Cosita was one of our first purchases in 2002 and produced our most successful, super dense and typey herdside, Starbuck, who is still cranking out blue ribbon kids and grandkids.) We found our answer in Silvercloud Farm's Mercurio! Adonis got all of his dam's color, density and crimp for days . . . and Mercurio came through with our request for ultrafine fleece and lack of visible medulation. In his very first show, Adonis took second place in a super competitive class at Empire 2011 among some of the top farms in the Northeast under judge Jude Anderson. No wonder . . . with his density, bundled locks and super fine fleece as a yearling, he was a standout in the class. And to add icing to the cake, Adonis has inherited the trademark easy-going attitude from his maternal line. He quickly became the cria "kindergarten" favorite . . . following us into the tratment room and standing perfectly still for shots and toenails. He is a sweet boy, and we look forward to breeding him to all colors, especially black and grey! Don't delay, make plans to fall in love with Adonis today!
