Description
Despite having no taste for the ring and thus a limited show history, Helios is everything we could hope for and more, coming from Bellana. He has compact, well balanced conformation with a heavy bone structure, great legs, and a masculine head with great body coverage. He is heavily muscled, and an easy keeper, while being athletic enough to stay well conditioned.
Helios's fibre is a beautiful light fawn shade, with just a tint of gold to it. When his fleece is opened, two things immediately become evident: he is fantastically dense and so very, very bright. Helios practically glows. He is well organized and consistent in micron and style across his blanket.
Helios' first cria his the ground in 2021, and boy did he show what he could do! We had hoped he would pass on the density and he did not disappoint-- and as we have had the chance to see his son, Parhelion, mature, we are also quite pleased to see he is passing along that lovely, medium frequency, high amplitude fleece style and longevity of fineness!
He comes from lines well known for their prepotency, which bodes well for this males breeding career. His sire, Neville Lake's Challenger is a Greener Pastures Prince Charming son. Prince Charming was a notable seedstock producer in both the US and Canada, who additionally remained within the top 1-2% of EPD's in AFD, SDAFD, SF, %>30, MC and %M. His sire, paired with Bellana— a noted Peruvian Bonanza daughter and another well known producer of champions and champion producers in Canada in her own right, really make Helios quite exciting on paper. He is a welcome addition to the farm and our program, not only for the quality he brings, but also as Bellana's last cria before her retirement and eventual passing of old age. The resemblance between himself and his dam is striking, alongside his quiet nature.
