Description

........... RETIRED-REFERENCE ONLY........... We purchased Misty in 1997 when her daughter, Dawn Mist's Evening Serenade (Sara), was just a cria by her side. At the time we eagerly anticipated future black and grey cria from Misty as she brought to our breeding program a fine fleece and a pedigree with two grey parents. Unfortunately, we learned upon her arrival that Misty has suffered a dislocation of her knee during the breeding which produced Sara. This meant that she had suffered with her untreated injury for almost a year and a half before she came to us. This had left her with permanent injury to her leg that resulted in a conformational weakness that could not be healed. We have not bred Misty since, fearing that the stress of a pregnancy might cause her undue pain. However, we have since had her examined at OSU and have decided to give her one more chance to produce a cria for us. We hope to breed her this summer to our ultrafine young herdsire, Lance.
