September 1, 2021 Neversummer's US Steel is for sale and is now available. We have kept back several of his offspring and it's now time for him to focus on another herd. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY! Gold Country Gathering 2019 Silver Spice, a Neversummer's US Steel daughter wins both Judge's Choice and Spirit of the Industry Award! Neversummer’s US Steel! 2018, 2017 and 2016 Herdsire of the Year! As of January 2018 Neversummer's US Steel will be permanently residing full time at Starshire Ranch! Love, love, love this guy, his stats, his offspring... Love everything about him! Steel is so very fine! He has also inherited his sire's trademark silky handle. As he matured, Steel's uniformity and retained fineness brought him to the very top of his extremely competitive classes in the ring. The judges consistently commented on his extreme fineness and soft handle and now his histogram numbers fully support this. Steel is a handsome male with an excellent breeding background and has matured into an elite macho, who has produced champion offspring of his own! Steel's dam, Crescent Moon's Starbright is a lovely Rayo Del Sol daughter who was a blue ribbon winner and a reserve champion in the ring herself. She was a gentle female and proved to be a topnotch breeder and mother. At 6 yrs of age, Starbright's fleece was still 21 microns. Steel continued his show career just months before his 3rd birthday at the 2012 Futurity placing 1st in a competitive class under judge Peter Kennedy. At the 2012 GWAS he was 1st and Reserve Color and the oldest male in his class at 34.7 months and Judge Jude Anderson commented on his fineness, uniformity of color and beautiful fleece character that is still being retained at his age. This is truly remarkable for a male just shy of 36 months to be so competitive in a class of 48 grey males! The color champion was rose grey, so Steel was the best silver grey male at this show! Although winning and ribbons are fun and good, but the true test of a great herdsire is in his offspring. Once more Steel continues to shine both in the brightness, fineness and soft silky handle of his offspring's fleece as well as the beautiful look he stamps on each offspring!

Bacardi was a surprise to us... literally! We'd sent our girl up for breeding to Silver Rose Sentinel twice with no success, sigh. But then, Lin offered a weanling female to make things simpler all around! What a gift!!! She's a lovely true black girl with soft, crimpy, dense fleece. So we took her to the gold Country Gathering where earned a 2nd in walking fleece and a 3rd in halter. Not bad for a gift! We planned to show her again in the spring, but life had other plans. Soon after the GCG show, we had the opportunity to purchase a share of the amazing herdsire RR Gun's Kit Carson. We just couldn't resist the opportunity to breed Bacardi to Kit. Yes it would have been nice to show her again. But who can resist new cria:) Her first cria, by Kit Carson is a gorgeous modern dark rose gray girl with a roan character that is shifting the color toward dark silver as she matures. Juhlia did very well in her fist show earning a 1st in walking fleece and a 2nd in halter. We've rebred Bacardi to Kit for a 2019 cria. We can't wait to see what they produce!
