His sire Huckleberry, the 2012 Futurity dark Herdsire of the Year, has been a revelation for us in dark color. Huck as we call him is a double Bruxo son who we campaign for Jack and Kelly Armstrong of the Latah Creek fame before the herd was sold to the Brearley's in WA. In only his first year of production for us Huck has had an incredible impact producing champions and ribbon winners. Sumbawa's dam, Pucara Sonata, is our favorite colored female and produces beautiful ribbon winning cria. In the attached video you can see Sumbawa along with Holokai another Huckleberry kid who took Dark Male Reserve Championship to him at the NWAS show 2011. Sumbawa like his siblings shows off an incredible amount of greasy lustrous fleece for such a fine micron. As a yearling he did very well in the show ring but more importantly for us we're waiting anxiously for him to get his breeding started in 2013 because his genetics both sides of the equation make sense that he will be an impact stud for us. Sumbawa is growing out splendidly now. He was small as a juvie due to the tremendous amount of fleece he was carrying but now he displays a robust square frame, solid bone and a stunning head. All black points! You'll notice by his show results that as he grew he achieved better results. We're very proud of this boy who we believe will go on to become a very important herdsire for us our our clients that choose discerningly to use the best. As an indicator his EPD's show a lot of potential.
