Description

Jerrick is the first cria sired by our herdsire Whistling Pines Bold Ruler. We are excited to get crias sired by him and we are especially excited by this first one Jerrick. Bold Ruler is a combination of two prepotent Suri lines. His sire is SBS Crown Prince (Accoyo Crown Royale son). Crown Prince was the winner of 5 banners including 2 at Nationals & 1 at Futurity. Crown Prince has claimed fifteen get of sire blue ribbons. Bold Ruler's dam is a daughter of the legendary HHSF Accoyo Lafite's Mont Blanc. Mont Blanc is a 3x Judge's Choice winner, is a 7 time banner winner including Nationals & Futurity, and has 7 get of sire wins. Mont Blanc has been top 1% in 5 or 6 of the 7 EPD fleece traits year after year.

The combining of these two genetic lines have produced in Bold Ruler a male with great conformation. His fleece characteristics are what really get your attention. He has very good EPDs, but his biopsy is amazing. He has a well above average density of 68.9 and only a 3.9 spread between the low micron AFDs of his secondary versus primary fibers. The amazing thing is that the range of the size of all his primary fibers fall inside the range of the size of all his secondary fibers. All this points to a fleece that has outstanding uniformity. Add to that the fact that it's a fleece with an outstanding lock structure and great luster and you can see why we think Bold Ruler will also be a prepotent herdsire in his own right.

With all we've stated so far we feel we can safely say Jerrick has prepotent genetics from his sire, but his dam Princess Jezira has outstanding genetics in her pedigree, too. First, let's start by saying there is line breeding in Jerrick because Jezira's dam is also a Mont Blanc daughter. Those outstanding Mont Blanc fleece genetics are therefore found in one fourth of Jerrick's genetics. Jezira's sire USA Peruvian Jeremiah has excellent fleece characteristics, too. Jeremiah has great EPDs and at different fleece shows he won best lock, best luster, and best handle each two different times. Add to that the fact that in halter he won Judge's Choice at Nationals in 2010. Jeremiah also adds exceptional quality genetics to the pedigree of Jerrick.

As we said, we are really excited about Jerrick. He is herdsire material if you want to improve your fleeces. His second fleece is coming in beautifully aftet the first one was awarded an Advanced Fleece Award this past summer and had a histogram with an AFD of 17.7 microns and a standard deviation of that AFD of 3.0 microns. Yes, an amazing 3 micron standared deviation. In addition to the fleece, his conformation has great fleece coverage, excellent bone, and a solidly built frame. We want to continue to use his sire Bold Ruler and don't need him as a future herdsire so we are willing to listen to reasonable offers for him. Also, if we don't sell him as a herdsire, we are willing to sell him as a nonbreeding fiber alpaca for 10% of the asking price listed.
