Classic Grey

Probably one of our most highly anticipated cria of 2023, this one definitely did not disappoint!

This awesome little female is the result of powerhouse genetics, combining some of the most prominent classic greys in North America. Her multi-champion MRG sire Plum Creek's Taji is one of only 2 registered classic grey son sired by Bellarmine (ATV Adonnis)…the other one being Crescent Moon’s Emmaus! Her paternal grand-dam, Estates Yanni is the product of NS Magic Flight (Snowmass Enlightenment) crossed with solid-coloured Patagonia program lineage. Her maternal grand-sire is none other than Snowmass Divine Love and thanks to genotyping, we also discovered that Sweet Love's white dam is cryptic classic grey! This little girl is definitely packed with awesome grey genetics and the result is nothing short of amazing!

Although she is on the petite side (only 12 lbs at birth), Sweet Love has a good growth curve but will possibly always remain on the smaller side (55lbs at 6 months). This is something we have observed when so much energy is put into fleece production in that first year. The amount of fleece this girl is carrying on her smaller frame is unmatched by any classic grey we have produced so far! Her finely crimped and extremely bright fleece also has great uniformity and finesse which gives it a beautiful handle. A truly stunning grey fleece on this girl!

Although the lighter parts of her blanket seems closer to LSG, she was registered as LRG as she does have darker rosegrey spots areas in her fleece. It's one of those lighter classic fleece which can almost go both ways but if we consider fiber processing, rosegrey is the way to go!

UPDATE: Sweet Love wins Colour Champion Grey Female at her first halter show! Although she was part of a smaller class of classic females, we knew that, despite her smaller size, this girl was worth showing! Judge Robin Nasemann said: "As you can see, this female is smaller in frame but she is compact and well-proportioned and as a juvie, there is more time to grow. You can see great organization at the skin, with good density and brightness. She is the fineness and most uniform in her class. Well done! "
