When you fall in love with a certain breeding program, appreciating their achievement in brightness (in grey color) you can hardly resist the temptation to add to your herd. We had recently sold a few of our males and had a little bit of seller's remorse, when we saw a post regarding some of Granite Bay beauties being available. Before other life circumstances could delay, we acquired him, sight-unseen. Well, we did have fleece shots and knew the reputation of care and lineage so we weren't worried one bit about what would be on the end of the lead when we received him. We couldn't wait to meet him at the show. One of our favorite esteemed judges was the fleece judge and she took a sample around to point out the crimp in his guard hair for others surrounding to witness the softness of hand. Blue's score card was icing on the cake. He received a 2nd of 11 in his class going up against some real contenders including some of his own prior herd-mates. His sire is A Paca Fun's SilverLegacy who won numerous first places from A Paca Funs successful grey program and his dam is Granite Bay's Blue XX who received a 1st place at ABR fleece show 2020. She sired the gorgeous true black Champion Granite Bay Jet Blue XX. Blue grew up real quick - in fact we suspect that may have been why he didn't rank as well in the halter show the following spring. Now he has grown to a nice stature, considerably well balanced and proportioned. Gold Country show the judge awarded him a 2nd place with comments big size for his age and a dense fleece. His walking fleece score was 8 of 10 brightness 3.5 of 5 density, 8 of 10 uniformity of micron and 16 of 20 fineness. We are extremely pleased. Blue's histogram came in as 20.2 micron. Considering we are striving to add brightness and density to our herd, we are highly looking forward to his offspring to come. He has a few confirmed pregnancies. We can hardly wait to see his offspring next summer. Let us know if you would like any more information on Granite Bay's Blue Silver. We expect a bright future in the offspring to come!
