Wallace is being sold for this price as a fiber boy. If you are starting a fiber herd, or adding to it, he would make a great addition! He's got a Grade 3 fleece which is one of the most versatile and useable grades to make a wide range of items. He is a gentleman and very easy to handle. He is still quite capable of breeding, but no breeding guarantees are given at this price. If you would like to buy him as a stud, please read on below!

If you would like to buy him to use him in your breeding program and would like a breeding guarantee, please add $500 to his current price. Included in his purchase AS STUD, Wallace will go to WSU for a breeding soundness and health exam. If he doesn't check out for some reason, your money will be refunded completely (less the cost of the breeding soundness exam).
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 bracelets, white under the chin, white snips on his head, and very excitingly, GREY on his face, head, neck, and legs. No spots on the blanket, just white extremities. There is a lot 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. He's gotten his girls pregnant on the first breeding and is a gentleman, eager but responds to handling.
