As his name implies, this boy is well worth your attention and consideration. He brings new meaning to the phrase “He has it all”. From the day he was born, this male has impressed us and has continued to exceed our expectations as he matures into one of the top elite herdsires in the country. He is among the few animals that improve as they reach maturity. YO’s production continues to excite us. Even at 6 years old, his fiber qualities have remained constantly elite.
YO’s lineage is well proven in all disciplines. Not only do they represent a long line of champion and blue ribbon placements, they also excel at density while maintaining lifetime fineness that is backed up with top 1% EPD ranking for progeny production predictions. His sire is Accoyo America Apocalypse, a Hemingway-Nautilus son with a long list of show winning offspring and 1% EPD rankings. His dam Yolanda, has produced superior offspring as well. Each one of her offspring has excelled in the show ring and is found at the top of the EPD reports. It is Yolanda’s vital genetic contribution, paired with Apocalypse, which enables YO to be considered as true seedstock. Perfect for that outcross breeding.
YO’s offspring exhibit ultimate fineness and robust character in both white and fawn.
YO has represented his sire, AA Apocalypse, in several Get of Sire wins. The prepotency of this genetic line is impressive! YO, along with two additional Apocalypse offspring, had repeatedly swept half of the final placement in the adult white male classes at both Level IV and V shows. More than just lifetime fineness, it is YO’s ability to provide a major increase in fleece weight is what brings him to the spotlight.
