Description

We purchased her to integrate more genetic diversity into our breeding program. Geneva's grandad is Snowmass Matrix, and her father is Accoyo America Artic Warrior. So, not only are these genetics impeccable, but significantly outside the genetics in our current breeding stock. We are so very pleased to bring into our program these three elite bloodlines. Geneva's fiber quality certainly represents and illustrates these amazing genetics. Geneva fiber is very fine, but most importantly it is uniformly fine. Geneva has superb Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs). She has what every EPD enthusiast looks for, nearly all-around improvement in all fiber traits without too much loss in staple length. Geneva's EPDs are at or under 10.0 in seven out of eight trait characteristic values. You can also see from her pictures that her phenotype is ideal. She has substantial bone mass, and her structural proportions are at the breed standard. Geneva has tight high amplitude crimpy bundling, brightness and a sweet handle. Geneva's offspring have not disappointed us, especially the 2023 beige female cria out of Chateau-Cerise. Pairing these two turn out to have this offspring with impeccable EPDs, fleece character and wonderful show record. Geneva is now bred to Red Granite's Pruet by Bad Boy who we hope will integrate more density and longevity of fineness into her offspring. Bad Boy fleeces have retained fineness for many years. Adding Sub Pruet's linage of Sub Zero and more Matrix with Geneva lineage should bring about a showstopper fleece and the genetics to match. .
