AOA# 32301298DOB: 3/18/201212 yrs

Introducing our new herdsire! Grey Fox....the beautiful grey son of Snowmass Sterling Legend (imported to Germany). First time out 2 firsts and a reserve color champion at 2013 IAO Cottage Division. (reserved to our US Steel) 2013 Futurity and 2013 Nationals Fleece show 2nd place with a 19.5/20 for fineness and handle. 2014 IAO 1st and Color Champion Commercial Fleece. 2014 IAO 1st and Color Champion Cottage Division. 2015 GWAS Fleece Show: 1st and Reserve Color Champion. This young male has a stunningly bright and dense silver grey fleece. He really does not like to show, but his fleece apparently likes to show and has done very well for us, as evidenced by his wins. His first cria are stunning and they are replicating Grey Fox's dense fleece with no spotting or very minimal spotting in the grey blankets. His 2016 at 4yrs 3 months Biopsy by Dr. Norm Evans shows a density of 59 follicles/sqmm. SP ratio is 11.5 to 1 with level 3 of 4 gland presence. 20% of secondary fibers show medullation and his 2ndary fibers average 22.3 microns and primary fibers averaging 29.7 giving him a variation of 7.4 microns.

Champion Pedigree!

Skyline's Enchanted

HuacayaBred (Female)Medium Brown

AOA# 35314349DOB: 5/21/20168 yrs

This girl is truly a ROCKSTAR. We love Enchanted - she has an elite pedigree and phenotypically is beautiful to look at. Her pedigree is chock full of some of the great grey genetics we're all familiar with... SM Enlightened, Enlightenment, XXXTreme, Royal Rose, and Casanova on the top side and Neversummer's Chatauqua, .38 Special, Casanova, Hannaruh, Alladin of KPR, and Lanark's Silver Charmopen on her dam's side. Open up her deeply rich mahogany fleece and you feel the most luscious uniformity of micron across her blanket and dense, dense, dense! Enchanted is a great mother, breeds and birth's with complete ease, and has plenty of milk to keep her cria happy. We have her matched with Granite Bay Get Smart - a handsome true black male who in his own right is a "chunk" in terms of his substance of bone, beautiful head, and massive coverage. He is an FTAF Blackbeard son out of a lovely Satin Reserve XX daughter - Granite Bay Agent 99. Cannot wait to see this cria - should be a looker with gorgeous bright fleece. Purchase her now and make this Enchanted and her cria part of your herd. You will not be disappointed.

Description

RSGB Rhapsody was a highly anticipated cria in 2018. We had purchased her dam, Enchanted who has an outstanding pedigree - Snowmass Enlightened and Neversummer's Chautauqua to name but a few, and who also is an AOA fleece color champion! Rhapsody's fleece does not disappoint... She is very dense like both dam and sire, Janus' Grey Fox of Granite Bay, who in his own right has several color championships to his credit. Her fleece has a lovely soft, silky handle with great staple length, fineness and is incredibly bright. Rhapsody has good substance of bone, nice level topline, perfect bite, and is well grown for her age. She is definitely showing interest in the boys and we think she'll be very ready to breed this summer. Serious grey breeders should pay attention - she may not be grey, but she absolutely has the genetics to produce it. We highly recommend to anyone who is savvy enough to purchase Rhapsody to consider her pedigree when making breeding decisions. No question to breed for grey or black!
