AutumnSun's Artorius is fantastic male, not surprising as he is sired by multiple champion Red Granite's Royal Brutus out of our Bea-2 Bomber daughter AutumnSun's Merida. He looks so much like his sire that he sometimes is mistakeningly called by that name on our farm. He is incredibly dense, long stapled, and organized into zipper crimp. As he has gotten older, his fiber continues to impress us. In his 3 year old class at the 2023 AOA National Halter Show, the first place went on to be champion. But the judge said to the audience of Artorius that he had a beautiful fleece and to put your hands on him to see an example of what zipper crimp should look like! This fleece went on to win Reserve Champion in the Grey males at the 2023 AOA National Fleece Show!

Clair is a beautiful girl -- well-developed, well-grown and conformed spot on with a typey headstyle, good coverage, and a dense, uniform blanket. Her genetic typing results are ee a2a3, a diluted black. So, when bred to an undiluted black she will have a black cria. Clair had her first cria by our multiple champion light rose grey AutumnSun's Artorius, a light brown girl who looks and behaves just like her laid back sire. Interestingly, this Artorius girl, Veronica, color genotypes as Ee aa -- which is associated with dark / black and in my experience also roans of any color saturation (so, very likely another gene is in play).
