Meet the
Boys
Enduring Oaks Feanaro
Taralom (elvish for Lord of Mohair!)
A registered AAGBA South AfricanX Angora . He
is good natured, stout, well covered, lustrous and low grease! ... .the best of
all worlds... I got his first few kids last year. This year he will be covering
all the white angoras and his fleece offered for sale on ebay.
HMFF Coup de
Chance a twin out of HNF Suzette and Beniesoit Tate
Tristan AND with my old herdsire HMFF Jean Luc (the one I lost in a
barnfire many years ago!) in his pedigree. His long elegant lines (from
both sire and dam) and his mothers proven milking capabilities earned him the
opportunity to cover a few does this fall.
HMFF Amadeus
registered CAGBA black solid self. High luster, low grease, uniform fleece and
vigorous constitution are the qualities he passes to his offspring. He will be
covering all the black factored does again this fall.
HMFF
222y This colorful offspring of TTT Pinto Macho and
HMFF Euruba caught my eye the minute he was born. I am predicting
more SPOTS in the HMFF meat herd in the coming years... what do you think?
By crossing him back to other Pinto Macho does, I also hope to set
the bone and girth of Pinto Macho into my meatgoat herd as
well.
HMFF
Lucius a pretty copper colored yearling out of HMFF Lindy
and IS Awesome is going to get his chance at some of the red does. I just love
that color!
HMFF Hershel is a dark brown
yearling with a silvery taupe fleece (shown here in short fleece) Very
dense and super well covered. Out of HMFF Clementine and IS
Awesome.
Hershel will have some of the red does
too.
BT Blackpark aka "Parker"
Long and tall Parker with his lovely silver fleece
will be covering the registered BFLs again this year... plus a few of the high
percentage BFL ewes.
HMFF #217
This stout ram is a rare silver blackbelly
pattern with a uniform hybrid fleece out of BT Blackpark (silver BFL) and one of
my favorite old ewes HMFF Guenevere (white BL). Using him will be an experiment
to see if the Hybrid fleece will hold true when bred to other
Hybrids.
HMFF 220y is a 3/4 BFL, with
a fabulous open silvery fleece. I think he is going to have the
Border Leicester girls this year. He is shown here in short fleece... see
closeup below. He continues to impress me.
Whew! I can hardly wait for
spring!
