We acquired Encore in Spring 2019. We have been using him as a herdsire for several of our females. Encore has SUCH a presence and is an excellent breeder...getting the job done in 10 minutes! He's got a nice, short face with a beautiful staple and is such a beautiful color! Encore's histograms speak for his fleece.... 2022 Histogram: AFD: 19.4 SD: 3.8 CV: 19.5 %>30: 1.3% 2021 Histogram: AFD: 18.3 SD: 3.4 CV: 18.7 %>30: 0.7% 2020 Histogram: AFD: 17.7 SD: 3.5 CV: 20.0 % ...

Details
Vanora was bred last year to J Creek Passion Encore, a medium brown stud with an amazing EPD! She delivered a very lively little girl cria (yet unnamed) on 6/20/2023, with no assistance. This little one is pure snowy white! And with Vanora's EPD combined with Encore's EPD, we think this will be a baby with phenomenal fleece.

She's been bred in the past to Grazing Hills Bradford and birthed a gorgeous girl in 2020 named Kaeleigh who just delivered her first medium brown baby, Bayleigh. They both have amazing fleece with the super inherited quality of lingering fineness. Kaeleigh was such a looker, we rebred Vanora to Bradford for a 2021 cria and she had a dandy gorgeous boy named Locksley who is really shaping up!

LOOK at her latest EPD Report for 2022 (side bar)!
Remember THIS GAL IS 14 YEARS OLD!

What do all those 2022 EPD values mean for Vanora's cria?
Top 14% in the nation! Avg Fiber Diameter (AFD) will likely decrease by -1.273, really good!
Standard Deviation of AFD will decrease by -0.199, good! 30% in the nation!
Top 12% in the nation! Spin Fineness (SF) will decrease by -1.364, excellent!
Top 13% in the nation! % of Fibers > 30 micron will decrease by -5.196, amazing!
Top 18% in the nation! Mean Curve (MC) of fiber will increase by 2.36, super!
% Medullation (M) will decrease by -.474, (the full impact of medullation in fleece remains a question at this point in time.)
Top 7.5% in the nation! Mean Staple Length (MSL) will increase by 2.408, wonderous!
Top 0.23% in the nation! Fleece Weight (FW) will increase by 1.213, INCREDIBLE!

What the EPD says is that Vanora is an superb animal with really excellent fleece traits and she passes these traits to her cria.

Vanora took the BLUE in her age group for the 2010 AOBA National Spin-Off. Her 2 year histogram shows why: 17.2 3.5 20.7 CF 100%, Curve 47. Her 3rd year clip was 9.25 lbs. of 20 micron blanket! Fine micron with a heavy shear weight adds up to density. Sometimes I secretly wish she were a stud!

We used Robyn Kuhl from Coarse Broads and the NAAFP cooperative to sort our fiber in 2011. Vanora scored a 9 for brightness and a 9 for uniformity, an 8 for density, and had a high secondary to primary ratio. Anything above 7 is above average.

Vanora has presence, size, attitude, beautiful conformation, fabulous, lustrous, crimpy fleece. She's out of our best original dam, Kupcake (now deceased), and gorgeous sire Accoyo America Diomedes (now deceased) who leaves his signature "look" on his kids. She's our top notch foundation female and producing more top-notch foundation females. A keeper!
