Ahhhh . . . Maple Butter. Her fleece is indeed buttery soft, extremely bright, crimpy, dense, and uniform, with well-defined staple structure. She has maintained her under-17 CV at 4 1/2 years. AOBA judge Ruth Elvestad gave Maple Butter 20 points out of 20 for fineness and handle when judging her fleece at age 2 1/2 years! And she has the calmest, sweetest personality to boot. Maple Butter had two championship awards before she turned one year old, including the fawn female championship at the 2003 AOBA halter show when she was only six months old and the youngest of all the entries in that color category. Two of Maple Butter's offspring to date remain in our foundation herd: **Calidad Baudelaire, sired by 4P Legacy, and now a working herdsire. He has exceptionally fine fleece, exceptional conformation, and stunning overall "look." Baudelaire has accumulated five blue ribbons in full-fleece halter shows. **Calidad Beatrice is sired by Lionheart's Connagher, a Felix and Hemingway grandson with dense, bright, high-frequency, low-micron fleece (19.3/3.9/20.2/0.9, at age 5 years). Beatrice is now a member of our foundation herd.

Description

Baudelaire is the son of Maple Butter, AOBA national halter color champion, and the renowned 4Peruvian Legacy. Baudelaire has that Legacy "look" with extremely fine, bright, uniform fiber. He has Royal Baby Fleece at three years of age: Baudelaire: ***9 months: 16.8/2.9/17.3/0.7 ***2 years: 19.1/3.5/18.3/0.7 ***3 years: 19.2/3.2/16.6/0.4 His dam Maple Butter (an Accoyo Powerball daughter) has retained her under-17 CV at nearly 7 years of age, and his sire Legacy was well known for his lasting fineness: Sire: 4Peruvian Legacy ***8 years: 22.1/3.9/17.9/3.3 ***9 years: 21.8/4.0/18.3/2.3 Dam: Maple Butter ***4 years: 25.2/3.6/14.3/5.8 ***5 years: 24.4/4.0/16.4/3.9 Baudelaire has placed high in white classes, including four first places in 2 year old and older classes (including Empire and MAPACA). His exceptional conformation and proportions and long-lasting fineness make him one of the best. Baudelaire has top herdsire written all over him, and at the same time, he has his dam's wonderfully calm temperament. This male only gets better as he gets older. His first offspring, Calidad Baudelaire's Artisan, was born in October 2009--a male that is the same color as his dark fawn dam and just beautiful! I am offering a limited number of breedings, to top-quality females only, at $1500 ($900 for drive-bys).
