Khloë is now bred to Bradford AGAIN for a September 2023 cria. Her first cria from Bradford, born May 2022 is a beaut! Bradford has fineness and Khloë has length for a terrific combo. Their EPD projects really nice fleece characteristics!
Click on her EPD stats on the side bar. Here's what she is predicted to give her cria from 2021 EPD results:
Ranked 34% for AFD value —0.607, her offspring are likely to have a finer AFD than average
Ranked 54% for SDAFD value —0.053, her offspring are likely to have a lower standard deviation than average
Ranked 36% for Spin Fineness value —0.579, her offspring are likely to have a lower SF than average
Ranked 40% for %F>30 value —2.409, her offspring are likely to have less % of fibers>30 micron than average
TOP 23% for Mean Curve, value 1.668, her offspring are likely to have more curve
Ranked 91.5% for %Medullation, value +1.862 her offspring are likely to have more M than average. However, "The full impact of medullation remains a question at this point in time" (quote from Yocom-McColl labs).
TOP 7.25% for Mean Staple Length, value +2.474 , her offspring are likely to have a longer SL than average
TOP 13.5% for Fleece Weight value +0.494, her offspring are likely to have a heavier FW than average
Please notice Khloë's 3rd year histogram is even better than her second year! We are EXCITED to have our first Snowmass offspring and she has grown into a lovely lady, proven with an easy & unassisted birth, healthy & hearty cria, lots of milk, and now rebred. Khloë's sire is Snowmass Snow Legend who has quite a remarkable background. Khloë's dam is our own Muireall, a beautiful medium brown girl with lots of Acero Marka genetics.
Khloë is named after our first granddaughter, Chloë. We initially thought our Khloë was going to be born on our granddaughter's birthday--that didn't quite turn out, but we kept the name anyway and our granddaughter was delighted with our choice!
