Bred to RR
Guns' Kit Carson (now the densest gray follicle tested!) This
cria will be a knockout! |
We
got lucky with the breeding decision that brought us Venus. Her dad, El
Fuegino is a wonde4rful herdsire who has since moved on after
contributing bountifully to our program, but Venus was the black that we
wanted out of his genetics.
She has a well defined, very bright, non fading black fleece.
Venus is re bred to Snowmass Midnight Sun for 2011. We couldn't be
happier with RR Midnight Kiss that resulted from this pairing in 2010.
She is outstanding,
Midnight Sun is a fawn/recessive black with incredible superfine fiber
and follicle density testing. He is a gorgeous male with a commendable
show career. We own his mom, an incredible Snowmass Legacy Gold daughter
who combined with Snowmass Midnight Magic, the reknowned black herdsire,
to contribute Midnight Sun to our herdsire row. "Sunny" will
be getting all of our black females and we're hoping that he will add
density to all of their fleeces. He has the black genetics, but gives up
little in comparison to the top light fawns in the country, many of whom
he has met in competition.
