"Blade's fiber coverage is excellent, exhibiting soft handling and even grey fleece with a long silky staple. Superb substance of bone, compact proportions along with great style." -- Amanda VandenBosch Blade's cria are exceptional, each an improvement over the dam. He is consistently producing fine fleeced cria with desireably handsome pheonotype. And color? Oh my! Grey out of brown, black out of fawn, bay black out of bay black, dark brown out of fawn, grey out of black. As different as each of his cria look from a distance, side by side they are all little clones of their sire... each one vigorous and proud. Blade's AFD as a cria was 18 micron, and he's maintained that fineness at 19 micron in his past three shearings. His blanket is solid medium grey, almost blue in color, without spot. His offspring have no spots. We have his fleeces commercially spun each season... his gorgeous soft skeins are the first to sell out! Do you want to add fine silky fleeces, stunning color and textbook conformation to your herd? Reserve your Silver Blade breeding today!
