Description

On 10.14.16, Tempest delivered a beautiful lavender grey girl sired by Vintage Cashmere's U-Taupe-ia. "Taupie" is a beautiful harlequin herdsire that is known for throwing appaloosas and has a pedigree with legendary appy genetics on both sides of his pedigree. While this cria has one spot one large spot on her blanket, her legs are a beautiful dapple grey. When her lavendar tips are parted, her fleece reveals a solid-bright-light silver grey. When I tried to cria tip her, her fiber was so fine that the clippers would not cut it. This is only the second time I have ever experienced this. The baby is strong and healthy and Tempest has been a great mom-- very attentive and an udder full of milk. One additional thing about Tempest... she is a little on the chubby side. She loves to eat!! And eat... She is never aggressive with the other girls over food, she just has a very healthy appetite and likes to keep things tighty by ensuring that no morsels are left behind. On Feb.3.2018, Tempest delivered another beautiful U-Taupe-ia baby girl. Still waiting an watching this ones fleece coloring. But we could not be more thrilled with a healthy vibrant cria in FEBRUARY in Colorado.
