September 1, 2021 Neversummer's US Steel is for sale and is now available. We have kept back several of his offspring and it's now time for him to focus on another herd. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY! Gold Country Gathering 2019 Silver Spice, a Neversummer's US Steel daughter wins both Judge's Choice and Spirit of the Industry Award! Neversummer’s US Steel! 2018, 2017 and 2016 Herdsire of the Year! As of January 2018 Neversummer's US Steel will be permanently residing full time at Starshire Ranch! Love, love, love this guy, his stats, his offspring... Love everything about him! Steel is so very fine! He has 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. The judges consistently commented on his extreme fineness and soft handle and now his histogram numbers fully support this. Steel is a handsome male with an excellent breeding background and has matured into an elite macho, who has produced champion offspring of his own! Steel's dam, Crescent Moon's Starbright is a lovely Rayo Del Sol daughter who was a blue ribbon winner and a reserve champion in the ring herself. She was a gentle female and proved to be a topnotch breeder and mother. At 6 yrs of age, Starbright's fleece was still 21 microns. Steel continued his show career just months before his 3rd birthday at the 2012 Futurity placing 1st in a competitive class under judge Peter Kennedy. At the 2012 GWAS he was 1st and Reserve Color and the oldest male in his class 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! Although winning and ribbons are fun and good, but the true test of a great herdsire is in his offspring. Once more Steel continues to shine both in the brightness, fineness and soft silky handle of his offspring's fleece as well as the beautiful look he stamps on each offspring!

Wintercreek's Laoghaire (pronounced "Leary") is a non-fading True Black. She is large boned, conformationally sound and her fiber is beautiful. Her fiber is bright and full of luster. Small crimp and consistent from shoulder to hip. She has fiber in abundance! Her handle is very soft and her density is good. Sire - Wintercreek's Jamison(MF), a Multiple Color Championship winner. This is his first true black in his whole breeding history. I was very excited. Jamison's lineage starts with Mr. Golden Boy (LF), and Ross (MRG), one of the first Rose Grey Herdsires in the nation. PPPluro and PPPeruvian Mr. President behind him. Her Dam, Wintercreek's Catriona de Navarre is Medium Silver Grey. Cat's Sire is WC's Navarre (MSG) from Legend's Challenger of KPR (MSG). Lineage includes 5P Royal Inca Legend. Catriona's Dam is our own WC's Sieva (TB) who is out of Peruvian Black Epic from HHHorse Farm. Laoghaire's lineage is solid in the True Black & Silver Grey color line. Laoghaire was bred to Neversummer's US Steel in 2019. He is a beautiful Light Silver Grey. Absolutely stunning! Good density, beautiful consistent crimp and a silky soft handle. He has no spots! WC's Elliott did really well in the 2021 show season. Laoghaire is currently bred to Irish Meadows' Endeavor (TB). I am hoping for more TB! Laoghaire will make a solid breeding female for any ranch who is looking to expand their True Black and Silver Grey breeding program.
