So Very fine! Steel also inherited his sire's trademark silky handle. As he matured, Steel's uniformity and retained fineness brought him to the very top of his extremely competitive classes in the ring-Color Champion 2011 MOPACA, 1st place 2011 Futurity, 1st Place 2011 AOBA Nationals. The judges consistently commented on his extreme fineness and soft handle and now his histogram numbers fully support this. Steel is a handsome boy with an excellent breeding background and has natured into an elite macho, who will soon produce offspring of his own! Steel's dam, Crescent Moon's Star bright, is a lovely Rayo Del Sol daughter who was a Blue Ribbon winner and a Reserve Champion in the ring herself. She is a gentle female and has proven to be a topnotch breeder and mother. She breeds just once to achieve a pregnancy and provides her offspring with gallons of milk. And at 6 years of age, Star Bright's fleece is still 21 microns!
Steel concluded his show career just months away from his 3rd birthday with the 2012 Futurity-placing 1st in a competitive class under Judge Peter Kennedy and at 2012 GWAS where he was 1st and Reserve Color Champion. Steel was also the oldest in his clast at 34.7 months and Judge Jude Anderson commented on his fineness, uniformity of color and beautiful fleece character that is still being retained at his age. This is truly remarkable for a male just shy of 36 months to be so competitive in a class of 48 grey males. The color champion was rose grey, so Steel was the best silver grey male at this show!
