Introducing our new herdsire! Grey Fox....the beautiful grey son of Snowmass Sterling Legend (imported to Germany). First time out 2 firsts and a reserve color champion at 2013 IAO Cottage Division. (reserved to our US Steel) 2013 Futurity and 2013 Nationals Fleece show 2nd place with a 19.5/20 for fineness and handle. 2014 IAO 1st and Color Champion Commercial Fleece. 2014 IAO 1st and Color Champion Cottage Division. 2015 GWAS Fleece Show: 1st and Reserve Color Champion. This young male has a stunningly bright and dense silver grey fleece. He really does not like to show, but his fleece apparently likes to show and has done very well for us, as evidenced by his wins. His first cria are stunning and they are replicating Grey Fox's dense fleece with no spotting or very minimal spotting in the grey blankets. His 2016 at 4yrs 3 months Biopsy by Dr. Norm Evans shows a density of 59 follicles/sqmm. SP ratio is 11.5 to 1 with level 3 of 4 gland presence. 20% of secondary fibers show medullation and his 2ndary fibers average 22.3 microns and primary fibers averaging 29.7 giving him a variation of 7.4 microns.

Amazing grey boy that we are thrilled to add to our herd! Thank you Michelle Ing DVM! I love this boy's overall phenotype. Very boxy and balanced. Not to mention a wonderful disposition and lovely fleece! At the 2022 California Classic walking fleece competition, Judge David Barbosa described his fleece as: "Very consistent, organized bundles, nice brightness, soft handle, above average on density, with consistent color and character."

Description

Catkin is a stylish light silver grey female with a perfect blanket - NO SPOTS! She has a beautiful face, perfect bite, great bone substance, good coverage and a thick top knot. In December 2021, Catkin delivered another darling grey boy, Moab, out of A Paca Fun's Silver Legacy. Catkin is such a great mom! We are so impressed with Legacy offspring that it makes complete sense to repeat the breeding again and hope for a girl. In November 2020, Catkin delivered Zion who has had a great show career. Catkin's Sire is Janus' Grey Fox of Granite Bay.... a beautiful grey son of Snowmass Sterling Legend (now in Germany). Grey Fox has had a great show career!
