PACMAN

River's Sahara had our first Majestic's Man cria. He is one big bundle of fiber, from the tip of his nose to tip of his toes. So much fiber. Sahara is a farm favorite. She has an elite fleece, she has an ideal phenotype and coming from Hemingway's Bogart's genetics she will have the Histogram and E.P.D. values to match the rest. Bogart gives all his progeny improved fleece, genetics, and phenotype. Bogie also gave Sahara what he is truly known for, and that is longevity of fineness. River’s Sahara brings world class fineness on her top side and density on the bottom. Blending quality genetics directed toward optimum fleece character in every trait. Sahara’s fineness genetics are from grand sire Peruvian Hemingway and sire Hemingway’s Bogart. Sahara’s service sire is Majestic’s A Man Among Men, son of the 2016 Herd sire of the Year, Jeremiah’s Peruvian Jumanji, and full brother to Majestic’s A Wanted Man, top seller at the 2016 Futurity Auction. Majestic' s“Man”, as we call him, is a multi-champion in his own right, with five color championships, including 2017 AOA Nationals, 2nd only to the supreme champion of that year. This breeding pair brought forth a cria with ideal fleece character. Hemingway’s Bogart’s fleece values at age 18 is AFD of 22 microns, with a SD of 4.0 and CV of 18. Sahara also has very respectable EPD trait values. Seven EPD trait categories are in the top 10 percent, AFD, SDAFD, SF, %F>30, %M, MC & SDMC. 2017 Histogram Values for Sahara are: AFD 18.4, SD 3.5, CV 19.4, %F>30 0.8%. We took Bogart's fleece he produced at age 16 to the the Snow Diamond Auction and the most common response was "Wow, he is really 16?" Bogie's fleece amazed everyone, he is still fine, uniform, and has a luxurious handle. His only age related fault was staple length. Sahara's EPD values are better than 75% in nearly every trait for every animal in the database for 2017, with better than 90% for a majority of the fleece traits. Sahara is a big girl with lots of bone. She has an ideal phenotype. All of which should make for easy birthing. Her dam Summer as well as all our Bogie girls, have had many cria, producing good sized cria and lots of nourishment. Sahara's superior lineage is evident in her more than respectable 2017 E.P.D. values. Trait Value Acc Rank Rank% AFD -1.234 0.448 4,324 of 42,558 10.17% Top 15% SDAFD -0.428 0.4
