She may no longer look like the $34,000 show girl she once was but she is still producing like she was bred to do. A producer of AOBA National show winning offspring, Shirley has proven herself over and over. She produces great amounts of milk. Her 2010 cria, Picasso, grew at more than a pound a day. She is bred for another knock out.
Sired by Accoyo Felix along with acclaimed Cconchatanca genetics from her Dam side, she was purchased at auction for $34,000 ten years ago. Although she is not at all the show girl she once was, she is still producing what she was designed to do. Cconchatanca isn’t as well known as Accoyo but many believe they did as well as, if not better job, at delivering density and fineness than Accoyo. Whatever the fact, she is an excellent example of a successful out crossing from the line-bred Accoyos. A beautiful foundation female proven to produce quality. Her cria, Bella Bianca,is a Blue ribbon, multiple National Show winner sired by El Bello.
We now have some of her great-grand crias as part of our show wnning foundation herd. She has very erect posture and passes on her solid bone structure to her show winning offspring.
She had her cria late in the year and are holding her open to breed in the spring to help her keep her condition as she ages.
