31755016 Light Rose Grey Due Date: 5/10/2015 Contesto is the son of two of our Champions Cereza Negra and Sparks and he has not disappointed us. He capped off the Spring 2012 Show Seaason with a blue ribbon at AOBA Nationals in Kentucky. At PAOBA he earned three blue ribbons and a Res. banner. He's small in stature, but one judge described him as a "tank" due to his very solid build. He's a fleece producing machine!!!! His fine, dense, fleece is very consistent with beautiful character and the judges at MAPACA and PAOBA placed it first and Res. The combination of all of the above have served him well in the showring and in the fleece room.
Extreme temperatures during the AOBA Show in Kentucky affected Contesto and we almost lost him. Obviously, he survived but we weren't certain of his reproductive capability. He's a strong willed male and ........We are thrilled that we have 3 confirmed pregnancies from him and can't wait for his first crias to arrive this year.
At 4+years of age Contesto still carries a consistent fleece with a micron of 15.9 and incredible brightness.
Come visit the farm to see Contesto!!!!!
Description
When we made a trip to purchase a brown, bred female, we came home with a black, maiden named Shanakee. We fell in love with this beautiful Silvio daughter at barely 8 months of age and we certainly have not been sorry. Shanakee's dense fleece is incredibly soft and crimpy. She has passed along her solid bone and beautiful coverage to every one of her crias. A Silvio daughter who produces both black and grey. Her first cria was a grey Reserve Champion and multi-blue ribbon female. Shanakee produced numerous, oustanding, herdsire quality black males. Capital Punishment, C-Cret Weapon, Catalist and Chico are a few. Cascade is Shanakee's and he's silver grey.
We were so pleased with Cascade and his first cria that we decided to breed Shanakee to Sparks again. Well the cria has arrived and YIPPEE it's a girl. Since Shanakee has only produced black and grey before this, I was quite surprised when she delivered a brown cria!!!! But hey, she finally had another girl and a nice one too!!! This little female has been named 5C's Carumba. Except for the brown, she's just what we expected. She's got a very solid frame, beautiful head and nice little twizzles in her soft soft, fleece.
Shanakee has been bred to our multi-champion Contesto. This will be Contesto's first cria and we expect it to be nothing short of spectacular!!!!!!
