Description

Crescendo is truly the cream of the crop (with 33 banners to back it up)! An outstanding phenotype - boxy and square with great bone, an exceptional leg set, and a perfect bite. He is covered in fiber from head to toe. His fleece exhibits extreme density, a high frequency, high amplitude crimp structure, phenomenal brightness, and an exquisite, soft hand.

He is the most decorated and highly awarded offspring of the late, great Snowmass Matrix (pictured). Matrix was the 2006 and 2008 National Light Male Champion and was also a two-time National and two-time Futurity Get of Sire winner. Talk about a male that truly shaped this industry - Matrix had over 476 offspring and was producing champions until his passing just shy of his 21st birthday. We are honored to continue his legacy with Crescendo as part of our herd. Matrix was sired by another industry shaper, Snowmass Quecha (pictured) and out of a Peruvian Legacy (pictured) daughter, Snowmass Legacy's Lass.

Crescendo's Judge's Choice dam, Crescent Moon's Elizario's Princess (pictured), also hails from a long lineage of elite animals. She was the 2017 National Champion and the 2021 National Produce of Dam winner. She's sired by multi-champion Cresent Moon's Accoyo Elizario (pictured), an Accoyo Elite son.

We can't say enough about this male - there aren't many animals that can lead such an undefeated show career. Crescendo is arguably one of the best produced by Matrix - we are so thankful to have an elite offspring of this iconic, industry shaping male in our herdsire line-up. Contact us today to get on his dance card.

We are ecstatic and humbled to have the opportunity for Crescendo to join our herd. He'll be at Elderwood Farms late fall to early spring. Proudly co-owned with Irish Meadows. Special thanks to them for not only creating this special boy, but for also sharing him with us!
