Description

CHECK OUT SAGE'S EPD PROFILE, some of the best for a reasonable price. We have several of her daughters so she is on the sales market. Sage is a Snowmass Defiance daughter. She comes from exceptional breed stock. We originally went to purchase her sister whose histogram and EPDs are exemplary, after seeing her we bought Sage without a histogram or EPD knowing what her sister had and the lineage of Sage. We were not disappointed. The purchase of Sage and Breeze from Snow Diamond was to integrate improvement in our herds AFDSD. Our goal is to have all animals below 4.0 and the higher goal of at or around 3.0. Both of these girls are in the 1% trait value for AFDSD.

Sage's fleece character traits are superior. She has a beautiful fine fleece with plenty of luster and soft handle. It is quite difficult to find any primary fibers and when you do they are mistaken for secondary fibers they are so fine. She is very dense, with an AFD of 21 micron at age 4, but an SD of 2.8. That is amazing uniformity.

Sage has excellent substance of bone and her phenotype shows good conformation. Take a look at her EPD profile. She is being bred to Chateau Cerise to improve her offspring staple length. One percent in SD is truly one EPD that is difficult to come by and even more difficult to breed for, so we are more than pleased with this young foundation dam. She will add some very desirable genetics potential into our herd in one breeding with this pairing.
