NeverSummer's Magic Flight was standing stud in the Pacific NW for a limited time but has now returned home to Colorado. ATV was honored to have this lovely male on our ranch this summer for breedings to our top females. We look forward to next year's offspring from him. Carol Collins comments, "He recently received the Reserve Color Champion Fleece at the 2013 AOBA Nationals in a highly competitive group of greys. His score had tied with the CC and the tie-breaker was only a single point! When folks walked by Magic''s fleece (juvie) in our display at Nationals it stopped them in their tracks. It is stunning. SO silver. Absolutely luminous. Long locks. I can't wait to spin it up! .... And check out his fiber stats. They haven't budged between his yearling and two-year old samples. Magic Flight was penciled in as a future herdsire for us - to breed to our .38 Special daughters. Its now only that we've sold our entire herd of females that we're offering him for sale. Our good friend, Susan Mikulecky, was kind enough to let us lease her fabulous dam, Beatriz, to breed to Snowmass Enlightenment. "Magic" was the result. We were thrilled to get such a handsome, CMSG male cria that wasn't related to any of our girls. Beatriz is also the dam of two-time (!) National's Grey Champion "Annual's Bea-2 Bomber". She has produced nothing but excellence and all 8 of her offspring have been "Banner Winners"! Magic continues to show against super tough competition. But he's consistently at the top of his classes, losing out only to Champions."

Congratulations and thank you to Jeannie Curtis for her purchase of Patagonia's Anita! PATAGONIA'S ANITA Anita is sired by Patagonia's The Sable, a black Neruda grandson. Her maternal grandsire is none other than legendary brown champion herdsire, Patagonia's Lennox. Offspring: On 8/6/2015, Anita gave us a lovely white female sired by NS Magic Flight. On 8/2/2016, Anita presented us with a beautiful dark brown female sired by Morning Star’s Don Diego. On 9/9/17, Anita gave us a handsome MRG male sired by NS Magic Flight. Her 2017 son recently won Reserve Champion and 1st Place at the 2019 Houston Livestock Show!
