Secret is a true secret to our farm! Each year, we are so amazed at the prodigy she puts on the ground: always crimpy, always fine, always an amazing handle! When bred to our bay black herdsire, Ephraim, she throws either a medium fawn to medium brown! Summer 2017 we bred her to another herdsire, Hezekiah, and she threw a beauitful beige boy whom we have named Santos (which means Saint). She was bred to our herdsire, Warrior and produced and awesome little studly male, Wolfgang (sold). She was bred to our newer herdsire, Encore and delivered a beautiful dark brown girl, Autumn's Secret, on Sept. 27th 2020. Secret will be rebred Spring 2021 to Encore. 2020 Histogram: AFD...

We acquired Encore in Spring 2019. We have been using him as a herdsire for several of our females. Encore has SUCH a presence and is an excellent breeder...getting the job done in 10 minutes! He's got a nice, short face with a beautiful staple and is such a beautiful color! Encore's 2019 histogram speaks for his fleece.... 2020 Histogram: AFD: 17.7 SD: 3.5 CV: 20.0 %>30: 0.6 2019 Histogram: AFD: 18.9 SD: 3.5 CV: 18.4 %>30: 0.9 He ranks in the top 5% EPDs in AFD, SD, SF, %F>30, and %M traits....

Charisma's first cria, Dimitri, maintained amazing 2nd year fleece stats of 15.1 AFD with an SD of 3.5! We love that production!! Dimitri has been sold to the UK, but he was here for his third shearing, and that fleece tested at 17.3 AFD, 3.5 SD...and this was after starting his breeding career...he is one fine, beautiful boy! Charisma gave us a medium fawn female that sold to Canada - a full sister to Dimitri. A third breeding to Diomedes gave us another male, and he is one we are watching very closely for his breeding potential. Charisma has a lovely fleece... fine, super bright - she shines from a distance - lots of crimp and length. Charisma's second fleece came in much more dense th...

How do you say SIMPLY GORGEOUS?...we say EPHRAIM! From his incredible head to his toes, the coverage of fine, crimpy fleece will take your breath away. We had originally thought we would send a Diomedes daughter to Colorado to pair with Tuscan Gold, but somehow Athena drew that straw. The minute she delivered Ephraim we knew it had been the right choice. She has always produced dark offspring from light sires, but this shiny black cria was a beautiful surprise, and there were more to come. When we sheared Ephraim as a cria, the rolling skin on his neck and chest were beyond anything we had experienced. You can see some of the rolls in the picture of him at a few weeks. It probably...

Lumina has a sweet disposition and is easily bribed with grain. She has a nice histogram for an animal of her age, too. She is in the top 5% EPDs in MSL. She is going to be bred to our herd sire Touche in mid August. 2019 Histogram AFD: 24.6 SD: 6.2 CV: 25.2 %>30: 14 2016 Histogram AFD: 24.8 SD: 5.8 CV: 23.4 %>30: 12.5 2015 Histogram AFD: 22.8 SD: 5.1 CV: 22.4 %>30: 7.7 ...

Touche is literally that! He's spot on! (But, without the spots!) We recently purchased him and he is bred to several of our females. Excited to see what he puts on the ground! Did you check out his EPDs? They're fantastic and we are proud to have his genetics and gorgeous fleece on our farm!

Sophia is a beautiful Medium Brown girl out of our Alexis Dion. She is sired by Rainman a very nice Lt. Fawn male. Sophia is a very fine girl and has impressed the judge at the last two shows she has shown in. Judge Diana Timmerman commented on her fineness and said that she had the brightest fleece in the class! She also showed good organization across her blanket. She is bred to our newer herdsire, Sweet Pines Hudson, and is due summer 2021. 2020 Histogram: AFD: 20.2 SD: 5.3 CV: 26.1 %>30: 3.9%...

Hudson has a handsome face, a larger square frame, and beautiful color fiber. He has the confirmation that we are always look for to improve our herd. Even though his fiber statistic aren't as low as we would like, he can still do great things to improve our herd. 2014 Histogram AFD: 20.5 SD: 4.9 CV: 24.1 %>30: 4.0 ...

Deborah has been a foundation for our breeding program. Every hear she produces a beautiful cria with excellent conformation, crimp and density. She had a cria early fall, 2017 and we didn’t get a chance to RE-breed her. Would throw in a free breeding to any of our herdsires, if youre interested in purchasing her. She is bred to our Sweet Pines Hudson, and due June 2021 She also is ranked in the 15% EPDs in MC!...

Carly delivered a beautiful little male in July 2015 from our own herdsire, Lexington. We named him Ragnar. We were quite impressed when he was born. He was up and running at just 45 minutes of age and hasn't slowed down since! The fleece was so dense, it was hard to find skin. We loved the look and the potential and Carly hasn't let us down! Ragnar placed 6th at May's 2016 CABA Classic in Portland where he was up against some intense competition! We were very pleased! Ragnar is also available for sale, check out his description on our Animals for Sale page. Consistency is one of the things we love about Carly's line...gorgeous fleece that stays that way for years. Her dam had a 19...
