Esprit is an elite Seed Stock male beginning his breeding career in 2019. Esprit has high frequency crimp from skin to tip, with extreme uniformity of micron, crimp and color throughout his blanket and far into his extremities. His primaries and secondary fibers are nearly indistinguishable resulting in a wonderfully soft hand. Perfectly conformed, stylish, with a heavy wedge shaped nose supporting heavy fiber coverage. His Dam Ecstacy played a major roll in passing on elite traits she inherited from her sire Kashmir. Kashmir is noted for maintaining fineness and uniformity. Ecstacy has EPD's being in the top 1% in AFD, and SF, and in the top 5% in SDAFD, %F>30, MC, and %M, with a FW in the top 15%. Esprit is a Snowmass Definance son with highly advanced charachteristics who has been sold to Austraila. His Histograms prove that he is carrying lasting fineness with incredible uniformity, which he has passed to Esprit. We searched for this exact pairing for years to bring our herd to the next level. Anne had seen EPD's from Accoyo Kashmir and knew we needed those traits, combined with Snowmass Definace, Esprit is loaded with elite traits sure to pass onto his offspring.

The matriarch of our herd and our top producer. Every cria from her is exceptional. With both her dam and sire gone, she can never be duplicated or replaced. She is priceless. I doubt we will ever let her go.
