ELK Royal Fawn's Tandy is the GORGEOUS light fawn female out of the legendary Royal Fawn. Her dam, Snowmass Nova's Splenda is sired by the great Snowmass Nova... Tandy's lineage is stacked with color and powerhouse genetics! You can't go wrong! She has given us many offspring that have helped propel our farm ahead - Matilda, a multi champion female who was exported to Canada, Penelope, a multi champion female who has produced her own multiple champion offspring, Limited Edition, who is currently a Jr. Herdsire and doing well in the show ring... Tandy herself is a multiple champion and a Judge's Choice winning female... so it's no wonder when looking for a service sire we chose to breed her to our multiple Champion and Judge's Choice male, FBF Kahuna's Optimus - the light brown son of Snowmass Kahuna Sunrise - the 18-time Champion male known for his extreme fineness and fleece coverage. Tandy has been one of those females that we never thought we would sell...but the time has come to let her go and help another farm be successful. She is easy to handle, fun to be around, she is a good mom with plenty of milk and her offspring are healthy. Please call for more information on this female.
