Description

George was our first cria, he's got an awesome easygoing demeanor, and he will eat from your hand. He has good conformation. His lustrous fleece has great ropy locks with a consistent structure throughout. His average fiber diameter is higher than what some may want at 29.7 microns, but the thing is that his fiber is great for processing because it has a relatively small standard deviation. George's smaller standard deviation is desirable trait that can be passed on to offspring. The low standard deviation makes for a great handle and feel even though he has a coarse micron. His fleece weight is awesome, although that is due somewhat to the higher micron (10.5 lbs of fiber when shorn for the first time and 7.4 lbs when shorn a year later). He has great luster with good staple length to his ropy locks. George had great staple length regrowth with 5.8 inches average this last year.

He's very much like his sire in those 2 ways because Jaguar is in the top 1% of the EPD for his fleece weight and staple length of regrowth. George's EPDs are now in, too, and as one might expect they are good for producing progeny with low standard deviations (top 10%), for producing progeny that have a good mean staple length (top 4%), and for producing progeny that have high fleece weights (top 2%). Breed him to fine fleeced females that can improve the average fiber diameter, but need the better standard deviation, need the better density, and need better average staple length regrowth. He has such an awesome pedigree...Kalvin, Macgyver, Torbio, Toribo's Masterpiece, and Jaguar are all in his background. Jaguar is producing champions! Some great crias should come from all of those great Peruvian and Accoyo genetics!
