Bogart's River Tigris

If you want to see how important EPD values are, all you have to do is look at River's Sophia's EPD picture. Sophie's Dam LaPoudre has a mediocre EPD picture. But paired with Prophecy, her offspring's fiber and fiber traits are dramatically improved. Sophia's now can guarantee the production of offspring better than herself. This is the beauty of EPDs, it can give you a predictable outcome in offspring. Start to integrate outstanding EPDs in your foundation herd today. Sophia will enable her buyer to improve their herd's quality of fiber, integrate superior EPDs in each offspring, and all at very reasonable prices. She is now bred to Hemingway's Bogart so any offspring will be outstanding in EPD and in fiber phenotype given this pairing.

Colusa Riverside has been working since its inception to build a superior EPD herd. We are now at that place in our business goals where we have many superior trait values in our animals that we can offer to our customer and at reasonable prices. Sophia is one of our home grown offspring with desirable traits. The best part of the sale of Sophie is that she comes with a breeding to MSA Heminway's Bogart. Bogie, a Hemingway's son still carries a low AFD of 22 at age 15 years. We are now integrating into our sales herd the genetics of one of the most prolific gifted studs, Hemingway's Bogart.

Sophia's actual fiber characteristics are also excellent. The 2014 histogram AFD is 16.0. Sophia's father Prophecy was purchased from Stargazer Ranch, noted for their superior animals. Prophecy is the son of Accoyo America Apocolypse. Sophia has her first cria on the ground and predictably the cria already has dense crimpy cria fiber. This BREEDING TO OUR AOA 1% CLUB STUDS AND THIS PAIRING IS PRODUCING OFFSPRING IN THE 1% CLUB regardless of gender. For the discerning customer, take a look at the fiber tab which shows just how much improvement is possible with our studs.
