Dam: River Rock's Sabrina
Dark Brown, 824001, 1/2 Chilean, 1/2 Peruvian, Other/Unknown
Sabrina is irresistible. She has inherited the award-winning fiber quality, growth rate and character of her Peruvian sire, NWA, Ltd Leo, and her grandsire, Accoyo Peruvian Leon, who is the darkest fawn Accoyo male in the U.S. with an AFD of 19.9 microns at 4 years of age. Sabrina has a gorgeous typey huacaya head, incredible density and staple length and heavy bone. Her dark color genetics and phenomenal density come from her dam, Black Moon, whose heritage is all black and grey. Sabrina is the richest dark chocolate or coffee color you have ever seen and has a calm, gentle and friendly personality. She has already demonstrated her ability to pass on her dark color genetics, her magnificent head, density and staple length with the birth of her award-winning son, Thistledown's Angus of Argyll, and her 2003 cria, the true black Logan, out of our maroon herdsire, Romeo. Sabrina births easily, produces an unbelievable amount of milk, and is a calm and attentive dam.<--description-->
Description
This dark, dark brown son of Hakuna Matata, an outstanding solid black West Coast male with a perfect bite and superb conformation, has been a farm favorite from the day he was born. His sire has dense, crimpy fiber with "incredibly soft handle" - judges always comment on it. As a yearling, Hakuna Matata's AFD was 20.7 microns, and his awards include Reserve Champion OFFF 2000, 1st Place OFFF 1998 fleece, 2nd Place CABA 1999 (Julio Sumar), 2nd Place CABA 2000 (Maggie Krieger) and 2nd Place EVAA 2000 fleece. Angus's dam, Sabrina, is a rich, dark brown half-Peruvian with incredible density, staple length and crimp - Maggie Krieger awarded her fleece a third place at the EVAA 2001 show. Sabrina also has heavy bone, great conformation and a gentle, easy-going temperament. Angus has inherited wonderful density, a magnificent typey head and a fantastic temperament from his dam, plus really nice handle and dark color genetics from his sire, who has two full generations of true black ancestors. A ribbon winner at the largest show in the nation at only 10 days over the minimum age limit to show, Angus is definitely one to watch. In addition to the three generations of true black heritage inherited from his award-winning sire, Angus has dark color genetics from his dam.?Sabrina is a rich dark brown half-Peruvian, whose black Chilean dam has all black and grey ancestors. A granddaughter of Accoyo Peruvian Leon, Sabrina and her sire Leo have both won awards for their fleece and are great fiber producers. Angus has excellent bone density, coverage and conformation, and shows genuine promise as a junior herdsire candidate. We wish to retain 5 breedings to him at this price to continue these award-winning colored genetics in our herd.
CONGRATULATIONS TO SUE AND CHUCK IVES OF VA ON THEIR PURCHASE OF THIS SPECIAL BOY. THANKS ALSO FOR ALLOWING US TO RETAIN BREEDINGS TO KEEP HIS BLOODLINE IN OUR HERD!
