Need lingering fineness? You need Spirit

MAMGB Shaddow Spirit

Spirit came in from the 2006 reserve Herdsire of the year Dark Shaddow and Jackie who has a whose who in her pedigree as well. This combination produced a brawny true black male who along with idedic fleece generated what we thought was a true impact male simply awaiting the opportunity to be proven. What we predicted from Spirit would be well conformed, solid black, with low micron, high uniformity over 90% of the fleece and the ability to maintain these traits well into their later years.

Hanwachipi born 6-26-2015 substantiated our prediction to the tea from the pairing with Laurel Ridge's Momilani.
Akpaza born 7-15-2015 confirmed that these traits were not a fluke.
One feature we did not predict was the reflective black we received in both cria.

Lingering fineness with uniformity are difficult to come by and in Spirit you have both. Good characteristics to bring to your herd.

Nearly 10 years of age and still holding sub 25 micron. We opted for a grid test and with Ian Watt and there was a surprise result.
