Firecrackers first cria is black, what a wonderful surprise! A beautiful new addition to our breeding program. This young man is an additional layer to add to our foundation girls. He has a ton of colour in his background with his mom being a beautiful rose grey. He sheared 11.4 pounds of raw fleece in 2014 and is maintaining a good micron with minimal guard hair. A handsome boy that we will be using on our girls in 2015. Co-owned with Hubbert Farms.

~~ Proven young Black Zeppelin daughter ~~ bred to Grey Futurity Champion Ike -(Closed Breedings) ~~ Includes her beautiful bay black son at side - 3 in 1 package - he is looking Very Nice! Henna is confirmed pregnant by ultrasound after just one breeding. Henna Glow is a sweet girl - mild mannered and a great mom too. There's just nothing more we could ask of this pretty girl. We are very happy with her black son, Night Flight - his father is light brown/dark fawn, Amber Autumn Firecracker - straight out of their show string. Henna Glow's son Night Flight was shorn at 2 days of age, on May 23rd - so he'll be ready for the show ring himself next spring. He's very soft, and very correct in conformation and type. Henna Glow is a Zeppelin daughter - so Zeppelin brings his extraordinary fleece quality genetics, in black, to this package - please see his link for details. Zep's dad is an Accoyo Legacy grandson from an Accoyo Moustachio dam. Zeppelin won the black National Fleece Championship with his 4th shearing. At 13 months her AFD was 15.7. (See histogram icon). In 2015 Her results were: AFD 20.7 / SD 4.0 / CV 19.4 Henna Glow's third shearing (2016) weighed in with an almost 5 pound blanket - yielding about 9 pounds total fleece. Soft, with a great staple length, and lovely character. Her 2016 results were AFD 25.6 / SD 4.6 / CV 17.9 / 11.8 >30; we especially appreciate her uniformity. As you can see in her fleece picture, she is also retaining very nice character for a 3rd shearing. Her breeding to Ike is guaranteed - and Ike's breedings are otherwise closed. Join us in anticipating your own Ike cria next year, with a purchase of Henna. We have seen the result of pairing Zeppelin genetics with Ike, and could not be more pleased. What a great opportunity this purchase of Henna could be!

Description

True black, so soft and multi champ Zeppelin grandson, Night Flight has the potential to be a top herd sire and the perfect go to guy when you need a nice, dark line to breed to. He has great conformation and coverage with good density and super consistent, crimpy, bright fleece that has a fantastic staple every year and a soft handle you want to sink your hands into. We bought his dam, Henna Glow, to add a new, great line to our herd and were lucky enough to get Night Flight alongside. Henna Glow is out of, as mentioned, multi champ black, BMF Taos' Zeppelin, if you've seen his fleece you would never forget. Night Flight's sire is Amber Autumn Firecracker, a gorgeous dark fawn male who has held his own in the show ring and is in the top five percent of EPDs for fleece weight. Night Flight will be a great addition to any herd. He will be a fantastic herd sire who has great lines and quality to offer.
