According to the ARI database, Raphael is Mahatma's first son. Bert Smith describes his fleece as "incredible". That said, Raphael will be coming to Indiana in early January. This should get him used to the Midwest winter as well as allow us to prepare him for the spring shows. Raphael is one of the first Mahatma offspring, and is shaping up to be (IMHO) one of the best! We are fully expecting this young male to join our herdsire Valedar as one of the premier white sires in this area.

Raphael was just shown in his first show; the Futurity. He finished 2nd in the first half of the Juvenile males out of 12. The animal that won the class went on to capture the Reserve Championship. We have decided to keep Rafe in full fleece for the Nationals in Fort Wayne. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and stay relatively cool. Wish him luck!!!

Harvest Farm's Lacey is a pretty, white female with good conformation. She is very curious and enjoys coming up to visitors. Her fleece has a very silky handle and good staple length. She is a good mother and has ample milk for her cria. Her latest daughter is a white girl out of Raphael that I will be retaining.
