September 1, 2021 Neversummer's US Steel is for sale and is now available. We have kept back several of his offspring and it's now time for him to focus on another herd. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY! Gold Country Gathering 2019 Silver Spice, a Neversummer's US Steel daughter wins both Judge's Choice and Spirit of the Industry Award! Neversummer’s US Steel! 2018, 2017 and 2016 Herdsire of the Year! As of January 2018 Neversummer's US Steel will be permanently residing full time at Starshire Ranch! Love, love, love this guy, his stats, his offspring... Love everything about him! Steel is so very fine! He has also inherited his sire's trademark silky handle. As he matured, Steel's uniformity and retained fineness brought him to the very top of his extremely competitive classes in the ring. The judges consistently commented on his extreme fineness and soft handle and now his histogram numbers fully support this. Steel is a handsome male with an excellent breeding background and has matured into an elite macho, who has produced champion offspring of his own! Steel's dam, Crescent Moon's Starbright is a lovely Rayo Del Sol daughter who was a blue ribbon winner and a reserve champion in the ring herself. She was a gentle female and proved to be a topnotch breeder and mother. At 6 yrs of age, Starbright's fleece was still 21 microns. Steel continued his show career just months before his 3rd birthday at the 2012 Futurity placing 1st in a competitive class under judge Peter Kennedy. At the 2012 GWAS he was 1st and Reserve Color and the oldest male in his class at 34.7 months and Judge Jude Anderson commented on his fineness, uniformity of color and beautiful fleece character that is still being retained at his age. This is truly remarkable for a male just shy of 36 months to be so competitive in a class of 48 grey males! The color champion was rose grey, so Steel was the best silver grey male at this show! Although winning and ribbons are fun and good, but the true test of a great herdsire is in his offspring. Once more Steel continues to shine both in the brightness, fineness and soft silky handle of his offspring's fleece as well as the beautiful look he stamps on each offspring!

Congratulations and thank you to Kat Bouzos of Bouzos Farms, for her purchase of Bisturi's Splender! BISTURI'S SPLENDER Bisturi's Splender is a beautiful true black girl. She has been a fabulous producer for our ranch. Her sire is none other than the legendary grey herdsire Bisturi, a stunning grey male with a gorgeous evenly colored fleece. Bisturi has a fabulous pedigree that yields itself to producing not only grey, but quality fleece in general. An added benefit to Bisturi is that he is unrelated to any of the currently popular grey genetics out there. Her dam, 180 Spirit of Huasita is a lovely true black foundation female out of Sinopsis Nocturna. Bisturi's Splender won Color Champion banners at both 2010 AlpacaMania and 2010 The Big E Alpaca Show, in addition to several other ribbons while on our 2010 show string. Offspring: On 3/20/2012, Splender gave us ESTATES SACRED MESSAGE, a lovely true black female out of elite silver grey, Snowmass Silver Signature. On 6/14/2013, Splender presented us with ESTATES PLATINUM STEEL SPLENDITA, a beautiful dark silver grey female, out of Never Summer's US Steel. Splendita won 3rd Place at the A-OK Alpaca Blast Off in 2015. On 6/17/2014, Splender had ESTATES SILVER PLUME, an attractive medium silver grey female out of Chief Grey Feather, who has passed along brightness, fineness and density to each cria that has hit the ground so far! On 7/9/2016, Splender gave us ESTATES SINGING BROOK, a pretty medium rose grey female out of Chief Grey Feather. Grey Feather’s offspring are Champions, Reserve Champions, and have the amazing soft fleece of their sire. On 6/12/18, Splender gave birth to ESTATES SPANGLES BANNER, a lovely bay black female sired by Estates Avignon.
