It's official! Capella is pregnant! Pregnancy confirmed by ultra sound!!!
NOTE: This sale will also include a rebreeding to IAO Champion and a 2013 favorite of Our Back 40 Yarns, super star, 4-Sight's Applause!
Capella has proven herself to be a rock solid foundation female. She has popped out four offspring without assistance. Each has been vigorous from day one. And they’ve grown like crazy … no wonder, Mom has enough milk for two crias!
Capella’s 2012 boy (out of Snowmass Silver Signature), affectionately nicknamed, “Tank,” weighed 20# at birth and was 87# at six months old. We have just gotten yarn from his 2013 clip... some of the most amazing grey we've produced.
Capella's is a proud, correct, upright, female, with excellent bone and perfect bite. She has a gorgeous, attention grabbing head.
Now that she is getting a bit older, Capella is showing grey in her neck and blanket, just like her mother, Grace, did. When younger, she was covered with shiny, black fleece exhibiting consistent crimp and wonderful handle from her skin to the tip. Capella’s fleece remained consistent from year to year.
She passes these fleece characteristics on to her offspring, no matter their color. Her daughter, Honeysuckle, has shown this same consistency, density and lovely crimp.
‘Pella is from well-known, well-tried genetics. Her pedigree is a remarkable combination of four generations of black and grey genetics perfectly balanced with Accoyo/Peruvian bloodlines from Yupanqui, Felix, and Guellermo.
Her sire, Aussie Rockford, is a ½ Accoyo silver grey, who has nearly 200 offspring on the ground. Incredibly, 90% of them are grey or black. Rockford is a national show winning male, but his legacy is in the achievements of his progeny. He boasts many champion kids and grand kids. His sons are standing stud across the country.
Capella is the second daughter of Peaceful Valley Grace, a Michelangelo daughter, and an impact dam hers
