Every year we are anxiously awaiting the cria that our Traviata will bless us with and this year was no exception. We were thrilled to have a beautiful white cria that had the most dazzling, bundling white fleece we had ever seen. He has grown into an amazing young stud and has a temperament to die for. He is so easy going, just a joy to be around, and on top of all of that he brings excellent conformation, and an exquisite fleece to the table. We wish we were still showing him, as his fleece has turned nicer with each year. He is one of those studs that will walk off with the CC at four or five years of age. Just an amazing package, but what we have come to expect from our four time champion girl, who never disappoints us. UPDATE: Overture's first cria hit the show circuit this spring and took TWO Color Championships and Best of Show at the Cal Classic.
