WP Elite Delilah
Huacaya, Female, Proven, Light Fawn, 7/8 Peruvian, 1/8 Chilean
ARI# 32691771 | DOB: 11/1/2013
WP Elite Delilah will stay in our foundation herd...but there's always a price, right? She's one of the best out there, and her 2017 cria, Venus, is a real showstopper. Her 2016 male cria is herdsire material. We have no doubt Delilah can produce the best of the best of the best based on her first two cria. Delilah has been bred to Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede. We can't wait to see what she'll produce next!
Delilah is a top notch dam with spectacular fleece! -- incredible uniformity o...

Description
Prometheus is being offered at an amazing price. He is destined for herdsire row -- no doubt about it! Please take a look at him. We've retained his full blankets for inspection. He's always been in the top 3 ribbons --- in fawn color classes with the BEST of the best within the industry. And, he comes from the best of the best, too! Prometheus is an eye-catching light fawn out of Sunset Hills Zagato & WP Elite Delilah, with Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah, Peruvian Zephyrus, The Elite Maximus, Peruvian Accoyo Elite, Evander, Jericho, Mr President, Hemingway, Inca's Ransom, and Dakotia behind that! -- what a pedigree!
Because Man in the Moon's Prometheus and Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede are closely related on the sire's side (their fathers are half-brothers), we've decided to offer full interest for sale. However, we do have a couple of girls that are related to Ganymede on the dam side only, and we do want to breed them to Prometheus. His first opportunity to breed one of these girls is likely to be Fall 2019. If full interest is sold, we will reserve three breedings for ourselves.
Prometheus has played a prominent role in our 2017/18 show string...At 6 months with his cria tips still on, he garnered First Place at 2017 MAPACA against peers from some of the top farms in the country!! He placed second in very good company at the 2017 Empire Extravaganza, coming in right behind the color champion in his class, a full brother to the 2015 AOA National Grand Champion. At the 2017 NEAOBA, he placed third behind the same champ and he traded places with the Cas Cad Nac boy he was in front of in the Empire Show -- and he then came back into First Place at 2017 VAOBA under Judge Jill MacLeod...and now 1st and Color Champ in 2018 CAC under Judge Amanda Vandenbosh. He's on the rise, and obviously right up there with the very best!
Prometheus' herdsire, Sunset Hills Zagato, is highly decorated in the show ring, winning multiple championships and two Judge's Choice awards. His fleece is soft, dense and spectacular with high frequency, high amplitude crimp structure. His conformation, stellar! Royal Fawn and Zephyrus would be proud to have him carry on their legacy....and he's doing a wonderful job, as evidenced by Prometheus and his siblings that are on the ground so far -- all show worthy and winning top ribbons!
Prometheus' dam, WP Elite Delilah, also carries an amazing fleece along with lingering fineness - 18.5 AFD at 5 years old after having two crias! -- so it's no wonder that Prometheus has inherited the density, fineness, and bundles readily apparent in both of his parents. Delilah is out of another renowned herdsire, The Elite Maximus, who was a multiple Get of Sire champion and champion himself. At 13 years old (2014), The Elite Maximus held a histogram of less than 19 microns! And that fineness was incredibly uniform, with a comfort factor close to 100%. Wow!!
