Description

Agate's sire MacGyver's Armed & Dangerous was an 11 time banner winner and winner of 6 Get of Sires. Armed & Dangerous was both a National and Futurity Color Champion who also did very well at fleece shows after his halter show career was completed. He is known for his own great lustrous fleece that had a great lock structure thoughout and he passed those great fleece characteristics on to his offspring on a consistent basis. He produces champion offspring regularly. He's an elite prepotent herdsire.

Agate's dam is a beautiful rose grey female named Rose Quartz Cloud. She was the 2007 National Grey Champion as a juvenile. Her sire Mr. Peruvian Spitfire of LFA was a beautiful dark rose grey that had great fleece that at age 2 was 18.4 micron with only 1.2% greater than 30 micron. The rose grey color was one of many different colors throughout. He consistently passed his fine locks on to his progeny. With those championship grey genetics on the bottom of her pedigree, Agate should have a great chance of producing grey if bred to a grey herdsire.

Agate had a histogram done at age 2 with an AFD of 20.8 micron and a standard deviation of 4.6. Her blanket is fawn, but it does have a greyish cast to it and she has a lighter color, a greyish light fawn color, on her face, neck, belly, and legs. At age 6 she had another histogram that showed she had become coarser. We believe she may have been over conditioned and had a bit of fiber blowout. That age 6 histogram was submitted to be part of the AOA's EPDs. Agate is Top 15% for fleece weight and all of her EPDs can be checked by clicking on the EPDs link.

Agate had a cria sired by Trigger on 7/25/18. It was a white male weighing 21.4 lbs. He has good conformation including good coverage and a nice head style. His fleece is beautiful. It’s a super lustrous pure white fine fleece with nice icicle locks. We plan to wait until the spring of 2019 to breed Agate for a 2020 cria. We are thinking of breeding Agate to Bold Ruler at that time. She had such a nice cria by a Crown Prince son the first time we thought we'd try out the other Crown Prince son in our herdsire stable. The purchase of Agate does not include a breeding. If you would like her bred to one of our herdsires of your choice, we would need to negotiate an additional fee for that. Also, the purchase of Agate does not include the male cria by her side and he is about ready to be weaned.
