Rumaki has a sturdy frame with excellent bone density. His lustrous beige fiber is very fine, remaining less than 20 micron at age 2. He has uniform crimp, density, and excellent staple length. Rumaki is the complete package.

With glowing fleece and calm, easy-going personality, Song was born big (~22 lbs at birth and ~90 lbs at 9 mos) & grew at an amazing pace. She is well conformed, with a strong and straight frame even in her maturity. She has been a fantastic mom, just like her own mom and daughters. Song is the dam the you can build whole programs from, one that just keeps producing.
She has had predominately white crias for us but that is due to the way she was bred. Don't be fooled by this into t... |

This male may not be the silver grey girl that we were hoping for with this pairing, but he certainly has the fantastic fiber traits that we were hoping for! Crimpy, shiny, soft and well covered -- you cannot help but notice this little guy. Yes, he IS worthy and he is getting better & better with age.
Full Peruvian, with champions in his bloodlines that make you take a second look -- yes, that is the now deceased multiple champion true black Knight Ryder who showed who took the ri... |

We are bit chagrined that our listing of Aika shows only her cria pictures... Not to put them down, because she was cute as button then! But, her lack of promotion is purely our dereliction of our duties with no reflection on her qualities or worth. In fact, it might be a subconscious reflection of just how much we liked this girl as we let her hide in 'plain sight'.
Her light fawn girl Fresca, sired by the multiple champion Matrix son Red Granite's Mr. Ben Franklin, boasted a luxurious, shiny fleece with a staple past our hand length and a crimp all the way to her skin! After being shorn, we were really impressed with her regrowth of even more beautiful fiber that was delicious to handle. Fresca is currently one of our foundation dams. This demonstrates the quality Aika can produce. She is only for sale because we have her genetics in her sister and daughter that are remaining in our program. Since then she has solidified her breeding skills on her white male by Accoyo America Seneca Warrior that we sold as a yearling.
If you are curious to know... Aika is a 'love song' in Japanese, and it is pronounced 'AH-ee-ka' or if it is easier -- 'EYE-ka'.
Aika's girl, Fresca, had a worthy show career and is now a breeding dam herself. Aika showed herself to be a great mom, with her second cria, a white male by Seneca Warrior, that quickly exceeded all the other crias that year in weight in size. We cannot wait to see what she produces with Axios -- our fawn herdsire that continued to produce shiny, crimpy fine fiber well into maturity.
Awards
Not shown. We just cannot show them all, and LF classes are getting as competitive or more than white classes -- as fawns often have color variations to work against for uniformity.
