Malibu has been used sparingly, here at Sopris. Given what he is producing, he will be our main herdsire for the 2023 breeding season. He's stamping out his head type, fineness, density along with exquisite brightness and his calm, friendly demeanor, in virtually every cria to date. Malibu has a very bright fleece, with a high frequency crimp style. His fleece characteristics are holding very well. Check out his fleece stats. So far, 6 crias, 5 Females, 1 male.

Bandit really came into his own as a 2 year old, allowing him to make our small show string. His fleece gets better and better as he matures, which is a positive, in my eyes. Bandit did well in the showring during the fall of 2022 and spring of 2023, winning 11 banners, bringing his total to 12. Exceptional density and uniformity of micron was the general theme of the judge's remarks. Bandit will begin working this summer, earning himself a few select females. Being a Matrix son, it didn't surprise us when his color genotyping test revealed ee Aa2. Since he covers black, he will be used as needed over girls of color as well as whites.
