Grazing Hills Savannah
HuacayaOpen (Female)Dark Brown
AOA# 31633420DOB: 8/31/201014 yrs
Savannah may be the best kept secret on our farm. She is easily one of the densest (maybe even THE densest) female we own.
She's a FLEECE MONSTER. In 2015 she sheared 3.8# from the blanket and in 2016, she sheared 4#. In 2017, 3,5# and 3# in 2018. She isn't a large girl, weighing in at about 140#.
Although her fleeces is no longer fine, it still maintains good consistency, crimp and staple length.
This is no surprise... Savannah's pedigree includes some of the Peruvian heavy hitters ... Bueno, Fandango, Vengador, Caligula and Cahuide and many well known Chilean names as well.
This still young, proven, female has been criminally underutilized here... big shame on us. She's actually the very definition of a production female. She is an easy breeder, easy birther and is a wonderful mother with tons of milk.
Savannah maintains a perfect bite and has no conformational flaws. Although she is of shorter stature, she has good body capacity, is proportionate and her babies are of average size. She is a SUPER easy keeper and has never had a health issue.
Although she is registered as Dark Brown, Savannah is actually a maroon (and has thrown maroon when bred to black), with grey spot on her shoulder. Her darling, short eared, short muzzled face is covered with curls.
She is absolutely darling
Savannah's first breeding (which she chose herself :) to Orlando's Tracker Cloud, produced a gorgeous MB male, Bean. He is also super dense and very soft. Bean was never registered because AOA couldn't verify his sire. Just one of those sad "kerfuffles." However, we KNOW that Dad is our Orlando's Tracker Cloud.
And, as noted in the beginning paragraph of this post, her second cria, Savannah's Georgia (get it? :-) is a beautiful maroon female, with soft crimpy fleece, with respectable placings at CABA, her first highly competitive show.
Savannah is just hitting her prime and is maintaining all of her rock solid, positive attributes.
