CRESCENT MOON'S CASIMIR We are pleased that this sensational grey male, is in our herdsire lineup! Choose Casimir to improve the fineness and density of your herd. He is truly a gorgeous grey male. Casimir has great coverage, a correct frame, proper bite and jaw set. His phenotype is stunning with perfect classic markings on a gorgeous solid bluish silver-grey fleece. Opening his fleece, it is clear why he did well in the showring. His fleece is very fine, uniform, extremely soft handling, displays beautiful crimp style and well organized. Crescent Moon's Casimir is stacked with top genetics. His sire is the undefeated 9x Champion, Crescent Moon's Emmaus (one of the most stunning grey males produced by Crescent Moon's breeding program). His paternal grandsire, Greener Pastures Bellarmine is a light rose gray, an ATV Adonnis son, from Kirwin daughter and gray female champion, Greener Pastures Rahela. Casimir's paternal granddam, Crescent Moon's Claribella, is the daughter of the legendary 17x Champion and 2x Judges' Choice winner, Aussie .38 Special! With lots of grey and black in Casimir’s pedigree it is no surprise he is producing fabulous grey offspring! His dam, Crescent Moon's Chaplet is a ribbon-winning female out of Crescent Moon's Bulldog (3x champion and multiple blue-ribbon winner) and Greener Pastures Novena (Snowmass Nova's Impact daughter whose awards include First Place & Reserve Champion at the 2013 CABA Classic, as well as 2nd Place at The Futurity in 2014). Other notable mentions on his maternal line include Crescent Moon's Valentino, Danko 532, Snowmass Nova, Peruvian Bueno, Crescent Moon's Giselle, ATV Adonnis, Mr Roosevelt, Peruvian Andrajo G179, Crescent Moon's Unforgettable, Crescent Moon's Kryptonite, and 4Peruvian Legacy 6016. Casimir is a multi-generation champion and earned himself a Reserve Championship and many blue ribbons, including Futurity. With lots of grey and black in Casimir’s pedigree it is no surprise he is producing fabulous grey offspring! Casimir's first cria hit the ground in the spring of 2023, and we are pleased to announce that Casimir is passing on his elite characteristics! Almost all his cria are show-worthy. In his offspring we are seeing well-bundled, silky-soft, dense and fine fleece over a correct frame with good bone. Watch for his wonderful MSG son, Estates Michelangelo in the 2024/2025 show ring!

Gray breeders have commented that Truffles is a beautiful female with a beautiful fleece. Her fleece exhibits excellent character tail to ears-fineness, crimpy primaries, color, density, brightness, long staple, a soft handle & an absence visible guard hair. Yocum-McColl said that her fleece is a rare, true (pigmented) gray and very nice, long, fine and silky. Truffles' pedigree is consistent for maintaining phenotype, quality fleece & fineness beyond five years. She is a wonderful producing dam for us & has outstanding offspring no matter who we breed her to. Her sire, Snowmass RRoyal Fox (2010 AOBA Gray Composite Champion), is from Snowmass' Royal Bronze and Casanova bloodlines. He's a full Peruvian with '98 imported true black and maroon granddams, so he's unrelated to all other gray bloodlines! Truffles' dam was a multiple champion & blue ribbon producer. Her third fleece earned a blue ribbon winner over a Futurity champion male in 2000 (judge, Julie Skinner). She was the best daughter of P. Andrajo (Alianza sire of Mr. Roosevelt who sired Crescent Moon's Donato). Her paternal sister, Reyna (MSG @ 15.6 m), placed 1st at Alpacapalooza '12. They are Fox's two best gray daughters so far. Paternal Brother, Graphite - 1st Futurity 2012! Her 3/4 maternal sister is Carmelina, a Res. Champ. Her maternal brother is Constantino, is a Champion who won blue & purples for 5 years.
