Fox is going on 17 and acts like he's 10. If you want better fineness EPDs and uniform, fine, pigmented gray fleeces with lots of crimps per inch and essentially no guard hair, he's the one! This line produces lingering 13 to 19 micron pigmented gray fleeces...consistently. Fox's first five fleeces were combined into one lot to make yarn at Heart and Soul and they commented on the uniformity of the lot. Thanks to his sire, Royal Bronze, Fox is a master at overall uniformity, removing guard hair and fining down fleeces and adding more crimps per inch, good staple length, along with deep and vivid colors. He's a SILVER GRAY, SNOWMASS BRED, AOBA NATIONAL COMPOSITE CHAMPION and well proven to produce healthy, correct, typey progeny! He is highly ranked for other traits too. He virtually removes all guard hair, including belly and bib. We attribute this amazing ability to his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze, who is recognized by Julie Skinner as having recognized as having strong vicuna traits. Density? He has royal fine daughters (see Dream Catcher) with 4+ pound tui blankets and SDs in the 3s. Character? Gray daughter, Mellona, is 14.5 afd, 3.5 cv; 59 curve (not a typo) @ 21 mos. and then a 63 curve the next year! Uniformity? Hardly anything to skirt out of his progeny's fleeces. Offspring have very consistent, uniform and high yielding fleeces...Little to no skirting is needed for these big blanket fleeces. Primary and secondary fibers are very similar, even across colors in the gray fleeces, most of which are pigmented silver grays. In every offspring you will see higher frequency & amplitude crimp. ZERO to minimal guard hair...no matter the dam or color of the cria. You'll likely never see any guard hair on the belly of a Fox offspring. Soundness and health, correct phenotype, conformation and movement. Even dispositions and very intelligent...and even a few silly personalities.

Looking for a retirement home for Pearl and some of her herdmates as they retire over the next couple years. (FYI: No cost...just take good care of them.) Pearl's dam, Brentina, was in the ARI EPD Top 1% for Fleece Weight, ranked 101 out of 27776. Pearl is nearly a carbon copy of her dam in all respects. The silk handle, long staple, and high-gloss brightness on both of their fleeces is also exceptional. AOBA Blue Ribbon LB Sire and 3x Champion dam (from 3 shows). Pearl's fineness and weight of her second fleece is on par with the same age fleeces from my champion males. She's a fleece machine, just like her dam. At 3 months of age, I sheared a 2 lb. blanket from her and 12 months later her her unskirted blanket weighed 4.8 pounds. Pearl is almost a mirror image of her champion dam. Her fleece exhibits extreme traits for: long staple length, luminous brightness and a very silky handle along with corrugated crimp and excellent drape. Her 3x champion dam produced a 5 1/2 pound blanket (unskirted, firsts only) in 2010. And, also just like her 3x champion "white" dam, Pearl has very fine fawn fibers throughout her fleece, so we are breeding both of them for color. Pearl has correct conformation and a wonderful, sweet disposition. She's very robust with good conformation and bite. She grew up very fast thanks to her dam's copious milk supply. Her lineage: Accoyo Caligula Accoyo Legacy Accoyo Victor Peruvian Hemingway 5P Dom Alamir Peruvian Aladdin Snowmass Invincible Snowmass Legacy Gold On her maternal side you'll also find famous dams: Snowmass' Jesusa, Maree Love, Lace, Neve's Lua and P. Ayaviri, all known for their top quality and high-selling production.
