Update 4/30/11: I just acquired a 2010 histogram that was taken by a person who was interested in though didn't purchase Striker last year. I sent them a 2010 fleece sample and think it completes a positive picture when consolidated with his shearing information below. Striker is the son of the 2003 Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass Peruvian Casanova and out of a silver Peruvian Black Magic daughter, so this is a powerhouse of high quality genetics! Stiker inherited the lovely dense, crimpy and soft handling fiber of his sire. He showed in the fall just days after his first birthday and came in second in a very tough class though he was the youngest. You can see from his shearing record that he is a consistent fleece producer. Striker is truly underutilized with only five registered cria, three belonging to ATV. Yes, we are keeping his offspring as they have the same lovely guard-free fleeces. If you are looking for a stud capable of improving most dark colored fleeces, Casanova's Silver Strike would be a great addition to your herd.

Incan Eclipse is an excellent example of focused production with her bright black fleece with extreme soft handle and long staple length which passes on to her cria. Incan Eclipse has produced 4 offspring to date including one the famous Snowmass Nova's top replacement sons in Snowmass Elite herd, Nova’s Knight who boosts a 15.2micron fleece in his first year and 19.1 in his third. We are pleased to add this well conformed and awesome fleece producing female to our foundation herd. Eclipse delivered a true black Nova son on 10/03/06 that we believe will be a stunning animal.
