Details
Wallace is one of my favorite boys and is now retired to live out the rest of his days here on the farm where he was born. He's got a Grade 3 fleece which is one of the most versatile and useable grades to make a wide range of items. Look in our store to buy some of his fleece as raw, roving, or yarn.

He is a gentleman and very easy to handle.

Notice Wallace's TWELVE YEAR histogram: 20.6 micron with a 98.6% comfort factor!

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)

Wallace is a big boy, but nicely balanced; the grey is showing, he's a VICTOR grandson. Nice topline, nice bite, nice everything! Notice those nice steady histogram stats over the years. That is an excellent and heritable trait.

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 love Wallie! He's one of our easiest boys to handle and my favorite for personality: calm, quiet, very gentle and easy to manage. He's straight in the legs, upright in posture, bright, alert, and carries excellent fiber qualities.
