Stirling Ridge WALLACE

Wallace was one of my favorite boys and was retired to live out the rest of his days here on the farm where he was born. He died on March 25, 2024. He was a sweet fellow and we will miss his presence on the farm. We still have a lot of his raw fleece available if you are interested in it.
Here is a comment from his 2022 EPD:

2022 EPD results at 16 years:
AFD, -0.594, ranked 44%, likely to give his cria a lower fiber diameter
SDAFD, -0.231, ranked 33%, likely to give his cria a lower standard deviation
SF, -0.647, ranked 41%, his cria likely to have a lower spin fineness
%F>30, -4.896, TOP 20%, his cria likely to have less fibers greater than 30 micron
MC, +1.3, ranked 38%, his cria more likely to have higher mean curve
SDMC, +0.223, indicates how much variation there is from average (not ranked)
%M, +3.146, ranked 96%, his cria more likely to have medullated fibers. However, "The full impact of medullation remains a question at this point in time" (quoted from Yocom-McColl).
MSL, -1.421, his cria likely to have a shorter staple length, ranked 73%
FW, +0.334, his cria likely to have slightly higher fleece weight, ranked 33%
BW, +.028, his cria likely to have slightly higher birth weight (not ranked)

He has beautiful fiber character with glossy, crimpy locks with a bolder amplitude. He's a medium fawn (taking after his famous grandsire, Victor) with white ankle, white chin, white snips on his head, and GREY on his face, head, neck, & legs. No spots on the blanket. Lots of grey in his sire's background. Wallace's sire, Julius, has produced many offspring that have won in the showring--ribbon after ribbon.

I loved Wallie! He was one of our easiest boys to handle and my favorite for personality: calm, quiet, very gentle and easy to manage. Goodbye, Wallace! Roam and enjoy those greener heavenly pastures!
