How do you say SIMPLY GORGEOUS?...we say EPHRAIM! From his incredible head to his toes, the coverage of fine, crimpy fleece will take your breath away. We had originally thought we would send a Diomedes daughter to Colorado to pair with Tuscan Gold, but somehow Athena drew that straw. The minute she delivered Ephraim we knew it had been the right choice. She has always produced dark offspring from light sires, but this shiny black cria was a beautiful surprise, and there were more to come. When we sheared Ephraim as a cria, the rolling skin on his neck and chest were beyond anything we had experienced. You can see some of the rolls in the picture of him at a few weeks. It probably explains why he sheared better than a 4 pound blanket!! of 17.4 micron fleece at 10 months of age!!…and the handle…SO buttery soft! His personality is wonderful around his pen mates and our kids. He has been getting better and better with age, and he has 4 healthy crias on the ground ON JUST OUR FARM! They have ranged from White to Dark Fawn. We have used him for so many of our farm breedings. He continues to wow us with the density and fineness he passes down! He has over 30 cria on the ground, with more coming in 2021. 2021 Histogram: AFD: 18.0 !!!!

She delivered her first cria with apparent ease...when we checked before 6:00am September 16th, the baby was already nursing. It's a beautiful little female from PC Running Late that we named Bright and Early! Please check out the photos! Running Late always puts very fine fleeces on his offspring, and this cria was no exception. Her 2015 cria, Adele, was also no exception! A beautiful medium fawn with eyeliner like her namesake! At her 1st shearing (6/8/16), she was a 15.7 micron and quite dense! Abby was 24 pounds at birth and never slowed in growth so was very ready to breed the fall of 2010 as a yearling. The pedigree of this full Peruvian beauty includes great grandsires Caligula, Hemingway, Chaccu, and Snowmass Casanova. Add in Sicuani, Chipaya, Condori, and Picchucha on the female side for a real GENETIC POWERHOUSE!! Abby has a lovely fine fleece and lots of it...superb density, uniform crimp. She is a beige as she sports a fawn coloration (see photos) on the back of her head and neck -- almost a tuxedo style -- as well as down her topline. Abby will produce color when bred to color. Please ask us to send you a sample of her fleece...you will appreciate the quality once you get to see and touch. Abby is a healthy, well-proportioned girl, and we expect she will be a great producer of gorgeous crias for many years. She was bred to one of our herdsires, King Hezekiah in 2017. She delivered a healthy fawn boy, who we named Archer. We are expecting a fine dense fleece from this match! We re-bred her back and she was due Summer 2019. She had a beautiful fawn girl, who we named Arya. She is already sold! Abby is bred to our newer herdsire, Encore (a dark brown male). 2019 Histogram: AFD: 19.3 SD: 3.7 CV: 19.1 %>30: 0.9 2018 Histogram: AFD: 18.6 SD: 3.9 CV: 21.1 %>30: 1.4 (8/18/16): AFD: 18.9 SD: 3.2 CV: 16.7 %>30: 0.4 2017: AFD: 17.8 SD: 3.7 CV: 20.5 %>30: 0.9
