Update: Primus is a grey maker! He has made grey even with brown and bay black girls without the grey parents. He has also made gorgeous blacks. One just born from a bay black girl looks just like him. He was born on August 1st 2024. Color Champion at 41.5 mths!! Judges have really liked him but CC has been going to the much younger animals. The fact that he is still so soft with consistency and long staple AS A BREEDER along with perfect conformation was appreciated! See his stats. only 2.6 micron difference between min and max micron!!! Primus has a very buttery handle to his fleece due to the consistency of his fine fiber and density. His yarn is incredibly soft-like a white cria fleece! His sire BMF Taos Zepplin is known for putting out blacks. He was the 2013 AOBA Black Male Fleece Champion. His histogram stats are very impressive starting with a 15.7 AFD and a 2.8 S.D. on his first fleece and at 5 yrs old still had a 20.4 micron and a CV of 19.9. I fell in love with PHA Peruvian Taos (his sire) when he was here in Wisconsin. Judge stated at the recent MOPACA show that he was a very close second and was very impressed with his long, healthy fleece that hand an excellent handle, something not often seen in greys to that extent. He has been showing as a 40 mth old this year and has had very limited competition yet had super nice comments from the judges that included "I doubt that there is a more robust male out there", "very little difference in micron throughout fleece", "perfect phenotype", "extreme staple especially given his age". Primus' first offspring is a black male from a black female. Super fine, dense fleece! Primus is going back to Nationals in 2020. He'll be 4 yrs and 4 mths old (52 mths) but I honestly can't see that his fleece has changed in the last 2 yrs! We have bred him a couple times for 2020 cria. We should have entered him in the mature males. Thought his retained fineness and no guard hairs would impress the judge, they did but she didn't take into account his being 1 1/2 yrs older than the others. Walking fleece he took 3rd! He is such a sweet, easy to handle guy.

Sheba is a phenomenal looking young female. This girl color checks bay black but does have grey fibers which give her a smokey black appearance.Her sire Seismic puts out grey very easily so that is to be considered for the black and grey breeder. Her sire has showed us over and over how consistent his dark genes are even when bred to white like this girls dam. Sheba is very well conformed and when shearing those cria fibers, she is very dense with fine little ringlets which goes towards what we want to see for a show string animal. Her dam Shotsie is an excellent producer as well as her whole maternal line. They do color even from all white background. Shotsie's sire is Accoyo Goldsmith so that adds another one that can take mates color up a notch. Seismic is Sheba's sire and if it were not for a paternal brother being born the same year, he would have had some championships instead of his 2nd places to the famous Jacob Black. Siesmic has been producing grey easily and top quality too as seen in Seriously Silver, a male that took a 2nd at the Nationals and subsequent great placements so be sure to check out Sheba's half brother. I'm super excited for Sheba & Impeccable's cria in 2022. I'm expecting one of Impeccable's best and that's saying something! Yes!! We have a DB or BB with hints of grey female. Impeccable's Percocious (aka Perkie) as she was up and looking for the milk bar within 15-20 minutes. She is small but solid. 16 lbs at birth but she looked smaller. 2024 Male cria of Primus' is Sheba's Shaboozey. Look for nice ribbons from this guy. We rebred these two!
