Finn has been bred to Sweet Pines Midas, a true black sire, for a 2022 cria. We are waiting to see if it takes and sure hoping so—we're eager to see if he will bring out the grey in her, especially with her grey patterning. And he should add to her staple length and fleece weight, where she lacks. Sounds like a great match!Her 2021 histogram is in--see in sidebar.

She catches everyone's eye when they visit the farm. Her light fawn color contrasted with her white head, ear tips, and stockings draws much attention. She's rather a showstopper. Finn has a pretty medium fawn daughter with rose gray legs and a white star on her head, named Eilonwy (eye-LON-wee). She is a doting mom with plenty of milk.She has great genetics: Hemingway, Hemingway-Accoyo Nautilus, Sicuani, Caligula, Rosario, Karrington . . . and more! Her dam is a half sister to medium rose grey Premier's Absolute, with Cloud 9 Comet (MRG) and Rosario lineage. Her sire is the magnificent Accoyo-America Diomedes, who puts his gorgeous head and superior fleece on his babies. And Finnie is no exception. Added bonus: her markings show characteristic grey patterning. She has black skin on her muzzle. Might we get a gray?She will sell with a reproductive guarantee, 1 month free boarding, 14-day live birth guarantee, free delivery within 100 miles, free positive ultrasound before delivery to your farm.
