ARI# 31502801, D.O.B. 8/12/2009,
Sire: BBFAI Killian's Irish Red ARI#
1438178 Light Brown Irish Red has has done it again! We bred him to a LF female and BOOM, a True Black cria was the result. Who would expect a Light Brown male to produce multiple True Black and award winning offspring? We didn't, but gave him the chance to prove it and he did!
Irish Red has consistently improved offspring out of our dark foundation females. He has respectable fiber stats for an older colored male, with a range of only ~4 microns over 7 years!
He has thrown 100% dark colored offsping. No white, Beige, or Light Fawn. 25% are Black, 40% are Brown, 25% Fawn, and he even had one Traditional Gray daughter out of a Light Brown female!
As an added bonus, he is completely unrelated to MacGyver, so you can breed your dense light or dark females to him without fear of line-breeding.
Dam: Sprite (BBFAI Sprite) ARI#
30356993 White This girl was simply fantastic. At almost 16 years of age she was still in the top 5% of EPDs for AFD, Fiber greater than 30 micron, and % medullated fiber! Genetics lead the way, with Crown Royale as her sire. She WAS royalty herself.
Sprite is the beloved mother of daughters BBFAI Fanta, BBFAI Crystal, BBFAI Sierra Mist, and BBFAI Squirt, Zen's Zenji, and mother of BBFAI Devil's Cut. She is one of the best producers we have seen and we love every one of her offspring.
Sadly, Sprite died as a result of birthing complications in 2021. We are devastated to lose this spectacular female. On the very day of her passing, her grand daughter Bubble-Up gave birth to her first cria. While not a "soda pop name", he will be called "Nisse" - a mythical being with magical powers - in Sprite's memory.
Description
After a stunning show career, Sierra Mist has quietly gone about her business of producing excellent babies year-after-year. She is a dream to work with. Even at age 10 her fiber stats are still good.
