Description

Burning Man is out of our second crop of Majestic's Man Among Men offspring for 2019. Burney as we call him has a bit of elegance to him. He will definitely bring some old and new genetics to any breeding program. His dam El Bello's Alexa is one of our foundation dams. She carries an AFD of 18 at age 10 years of age. Alexa has some of the best EPDs on the ranch. A well rounded EPD picture that includes excellent trait values for the fineness traits but matches that with ability to put staple length along with those traits. Though Burney does not have his own EPDs yet both Mom & Dad's are in top percentiles in the nation, guaranteed to give Burney the same kind of trait values. He is also destined to have longevity of fineness given his mothers longevity of fineness.

Dad, Majestic's Man brings all favorable fiber character and exceptional EPD trait values to his offspring. He sheared 10 lbs of fleece this year and much of that is based in a long staple length. His fleece is highly uniform. Matching these two genetic lines in Burning Man will bring the best of both. To date, all of Man's offspring carry that uniform long staple length. Many of which have greater than 3 inches by 6 months of age, and winning in the show ring for this valuable fiber characteristic.

Burning Man would prove to be a valuable Herd Sire and yet not break the bank due to his young age. We will show Burning Man this fall and next spring and expect good results. You can get this genetically talented male, call and we can discuss a reasonable price point. See his projected EPD trait values below. He will be in low percentiles for all his fineness values.
