River's fleece has a luscious brightness and a very soothing handle - unusual softness in a dark fleece. She has an amazingly long staple (SOP for Maggie's cria) and a very nice crimp style. And they just don't get any sweeter than our River! Although she is primarily brown, she has developed a couple of grey spots and we are choosing breeding partners for her to see if she will produce grey. She was bred to our new darling, Greased Lighning. A dark male out of some great grey bloodlines, and we are very pleased with the results. Our fantastic Rocket Man hit the ground late in the morning on July 4th and I felt like the fireworks had started early. He took a blue ribbon at his very first show. Frankly, she has gifted us two wonderful cria so far...Cimarron - who is a spectacular young male with a respectable show record, and now our wonderful Rocket Man - ...she just continues to delight us.
Cimarron starts his breeding career this fall...you might want to check him out!
River is currently bred to Never Summer's Manchester - amazing genetics - we are really looking forward to this baby.
