GWAS Champion @ 41 mos! Champion genetics, fineness and potential, with lingering fineness & crimp!
Jacob an excellent appaloosa herdsire. He has a crimpy, and shiny fiber, and a tight crimp structure that has maintained well as he matured. His abundant spots are distinct, nicely sized, spread consistently across his blanket. This is why he remains an appaloosa has he ages rather than becoming a solid or harlequin grey as most leopard coats do. It is so soft, with uniformity of micron between his light and medium fawn areas. His coverage and regrowth in staple length is excellent.
When bred to solid dams he produced solid colors and greys, with a base coloration driven by the dam, with his excellent fiber characteristics. When bred to appaloosa dams, Jacob has produced appy crias. Jacob is a good fiber choice in a herdsire whether breeding for solid color or not! His 2012 boy, Weston, was sold with a 14.1 micron fleece! (6/1/2013 AFD 14.1; SD 2.9; CV 20.8; %>30 0.4)
