DOUBLE BARREL 2023 Spring We are absolutely thrilled to have had the opportunity to purchase ½ interest in this fabulous male! Double Barrel demonstrates every quality you want in a top-tier herdsire. His fleece is beautifully bright with impressive fineness, especially in relation to his density. He shows exceptional uniformity from shoulder to rump and well into his lower belly—this boy is packing on the fleece! Conformationally, he stands on a solid, well-balanced frame with a true-to-type head style. His personality is relaxed and laid-back, a trait he’s known to inherit from his sire, CCNF Elixir. To put it simply—I’m in love with this boy. We cannot wait for his offspring to start hitting the ground later this year. This is truly a male you want a breeding to! Color Genotype: eeAa3 We are happy to mail a fleece sample upon request. 2024 Fall Double Barrel now has offspring on the ground! Reach out for more information—we’re thrilled with what we’re seeing. 2025 Fall We currently have five Double Barrel offspring on the farm, and I can confidently say he is improving “okay-to-great” females across the board. He is consistently elevating fineness, uniformity, staple length, and overall phenotype. I couldn’t be happier with his production and will continue using him in our program with complete confidence. Don’t miss your chance to breed to this exceptional male—his book may be closing very soon!
