Description

FIR Nota Bene is the star of the 2018 cria class at FIR. Sired by Red Granite's MR Ben Franklin who now resides in Germany, Bene is just 1 of 4 male offspring in the US with these classic genetics, Snowmass Matrix , Accoyo, Andean Gold and Houdini!! Bene has perfect conformation with bright, dense beautiful fleece so bright it looked wet after his cria shearing. Bene performed very well in the show ring where judges apprised him for his strong, square, robust frame and soft, fine ,highly organized, high frequency crimp style. These fleece characteristics continue as Bene matures, evidenced by lingering fineness, a highly desired trait. Bene has a calm demeanor, another desirable trait for a herd sire. FIR proudly offers him for sale!
