30470309 Dark Rose Grey This three time Reserve Champion was born on a Saturday morning during our first farm seminar, Silver Crown has a flair for the dramatic which is exhibited not only by his feisty personality but also by his dramatic silver gray coloring. He entertained not only our seminar attendees but also a contractor who was pouring concrete that day, who exclaimed "you just had a baby and it fell on its head!"
Silver Crown took his first blue under Jude Anderson who said he "had the most consistent grey throughout his fleece that she had ever seen in a modern grey, and that his handle was absolutely lovely to the touch". He just took his 2nd blue at the new New Jersey show. We have lots of high hopes for this guy.
In the spring at the Empire Fleece event Silver Crown took his first banner for Reserve. Wini LeBreque was the judge and raved over his fineness and crimp style. She said that the Champion and Reserve were a 1/2 a point apart - and hard to tell the difference. And Silver Crown is different. A modern rose grey with incredible fineness and good style and consistent crimp and color running from tip to tail. At his first spring show of 2010 - 2 weeks after his reserve - he repeated with another reserve in halter class. and a surprise to all of us, because he took 2nd in his class. So a rare treat when the 2nd place moves up and takes a reserve banner!!! Excellent for Silver Crown. We think he is like a fine wine... he will only get better with age.....
Description
luvia is a true beauty with soft and dense rose grey fiber. The name Lluvia is Spanish for rain. She was named that for the small patch or red fiber under her left eye, that makes her look like she might be crying.
Lluvia comes from a line of rose grays and is an asset to anyone's breeding program. She has a wonderful presense and conformation. So if you are looking for color, conformation, crimp and quality look no further than Lluvia. Lluvia has been bred to our premiere herdsire Captain Nemo. A new line in rose greys! Summer Sunset was born to LLuvia at the end of the summer of 2007. Summer is just beautiful. One of the nicest girls on the farm. She is a rich brown, with the Nemo conformation and coverage. She never turned into a solid rose grey that we were expecting - but she is a beautiful friendly girl. Truly one of the friendliest girls on the farm. We bred Lluvia back to Captain Nemo and have a full sister to Summer Sunset, the lovely rose grey girl Cleopatra. A lovely traditional rose grey with the little rose grey cap and tuxedo.
She is expecting a cria in late spring 2012 sired by our own 3X Champion Silver Crown.
If you are interested in Lluvia - let us know - she is a lovely girl - and will add great genetics to your herd.
