Trinity is a beautiful true black female with the most amazing eyes! When she arrived she very quickly took charge of our herd and watches everything. If I want to check the safety and status of my herd I just look to Trinity to see how she is behaving. If she is calm, there is no need to check any further.
Trinity has produced some of our best fiber and show animals. Her daughter Aardwolfs Peruvian Marissa was a show stopper. Marissa has many ribbons, including a blue and color reserve in her short career. She is now producing ribbon winners of her own. Trinitys second daughter Columbine Ranch Gwendolyn was not shown but produced a beautiful light fawn male with tons of crimpy bright fleece and his dams classic gray "pattern" that often passes on gray cria. Marco Polo was named so because he was off and exploring just hours after his birth. He often squeezed between the gates and was found fearlessly wandering around the house. Gwendolyns second cria is a dark silver classic gray, confirming our belief that these lt fawn animals with the classic gray color pattern are indeed rose gray animals. Trinitys last cria, a 2016 light fawn girl by Columbine Ranch Marcus, is showing all the traits of her previous siblings, as well as her mothers take charge attitude. She has already sold.
Trinity is no longer a breeder but still produces black fiber that can be harvested and used for production. She is still very much a "guardian of the herd" and notices everything around her before any of the others. .
True Black
Description
Gwendolyn suprised us all when she was born to true black Aardwolfs Peruvian Trinity, and Kokopelli's Song Desperado, a classic dark silver grey male with a predominately grey background. Gwendolyn was born lt fawn with a classic gray color pattern, including white legs and chest, and a darker fawn "crown"! We were again surprised at this years shearing, Gwendolyns fleece was full of red brown fibers, consistently throughout her blanket. Whatever her color, her fleece is typical of the Trinity line, dense, crimpy, bright and wonderful to put your hands in. She is a strong boned long legged girl, who is fast becoming the watchdog and protector her mother taught her to be.
Update 2016: Gwendolyn had a stunning fawn male cria that was up and walking after only 10 minutes. He nursed immediately and set out to explore the world, with mom anxiously trying to keep up with him. Hence his name Marco Polo. Gwendolyn is a great mom, very dedicated and always nearby to watch over her cria, which isnt always easy. Marco is just like his dam, a fawn with some dark fibers in his fleece, and the same classic color pattern.
Since Gwendolyn seems to be trying hard to produce gray, we decided to help her a bit this year. She is now bred to Annuals Chrome Finish, a classic light silver gray Orlando Cloud son. We cant wait to see what she surprises us with this year!
UPDATE!! 2017: Gwendolyn gave us a dark silver gray boy!! This cria is colored like his grandsire Desperado, with an almost black tuxedo pattern. He was up immediately, and running in 30 minutes. He is into everything and by his 2nd day had escaped twice, through gaps in the gates. It didn't bother him at all to be alone away from his mother and he was on the driveway when we found him. (Gwendolyn however, was climbing the fence!) We have already had interest from another farm in a future breeding.
Gwendolyn is selling as a fiber girl and herd watch dog. She is not a breeder. She is every bit the herd protector her mother is, and is first to the fence to defend her herd. She still has fabulous fiber and should have for years to come.
