Description
We were looking for PPeruvian Victor genetics when we found and selected Blade for our breeding program.
GENETICS: Blade's sire is Victor's Hemiaccoyo Viking making his grandsire the great PPeruvian Victor. The bonus with Blade are the color genes coming in from his dam's lineage. She is a true black.
PHENOTYPE: Blade is a striking medium brown. His conformation is solid, straight, and compact. His face is nicely accented with black points on his ears and muzzle. His beautifully colored fleece displays very good handle, fineness, and density.
TEMPERAMENT: We believe temperament is highly inheritable and place a big emphasis on it especially in the herdsires. Blade is quiet and easy to handle.
PROOF IS IN PROGENY: We hear the phrase the "proof is in the progeny " so often that it may start sounding like a cliche however.....the histogram results are back on Blade Runner a TRUE BLACK and all we can say is WOW. "Runner" was sheared as a cria and these results are from the 2011 shear: AFD 19.6, SD 4.2, CV 21.5, %>30u 1.2. And this was from a girl sporting an AFD of 32.2.
Blade's 2011 cria is a medium fawn full brother to Blade Runner. Marquee is carrying the same fiber characteristics of Blade Runner including great staple length.
Blade's 2012 is a white male from our light fawn Faeteza of Somerset Farm. Tezzla's (aka Tazz) conformation is solid, straight, and compact. He is exceptionally dense with great staple length.
