Saona Rose is the first classic rosegrey we had ever produced here on the farm and what a female she has been for our program! Winner of multiple CC and RC ribbons, with the most memorable one as a juvie coming SOOOOO close to even winning the Supreme Female title (equivalent to Judge Choice in Canada). The judge hesitated, came back to see her a couple of times, comparing her to the white and fawn CC and finally gave it to one of the solid light female. We had never seen a classic grey come so close to a Supreme before in Canada and sometimes, as a grey breeder, you just have to take that as a win ;) Just like her dam, Saona is a well built female, displaying heavy bone density with great coverage. Her fiber is absolutely exceptional with wonderfully fine secondaries, very few and fine primaries, has incredible density, great staple length and a high MC. This multiple champion female is part of our top tier classic females and we look forward to many crias from this incredible girl! Saona is bred to Ariya Pure Reserve's Jophiel for a 2023 cria.

GENOTYPE: EE Aa1 Classic Grey This little guy definitely has the coolest facial markings! A stunning rosegrey male out of our Conopa XXX daughter, Ransom, and our amazing sire Wingman (Bomber) who's now back in the US. It's a first classic grey for Ransom and she made sure he was memorable! On top of his unique facial markings, Rusty's fleece has high frequency crimp, beautiful fineness and uniformity. He also has above average staple length and density to his fleece with great coverage from head to toe. He also has a calm demeanor which is always a big plus. We are really looking forward to seeing this boy grow into what we think will be an great herdsire one day! UPDATE: Rusty will be joining our herdsire row in 2024! Although he is related to some of our best females, we will still make sure to find him some great candidates for his first breeding season. This male is expressing an atypical classic grey phenotype because of his "Aa" genotype but he will produce classic greys at the same rate as a normal "fully expressed" classic grey ("aa"). We plan on favoring females carrying the double ASIP mutation "aa" in order to produce a higher rate of "fully expressed" classic offspring. When producing classic offspring with "aa" females, he will throw the "fully expressed" classic pattern ("aa") and the "atypical" classic pattern (Aa) on a 50/50 basis. We might be open to selling him but not until we can first secure a few offspring out of this amazing boy!
