This is may be the best deal of the sale. Shake is a poster girl for the incredible gains that can be made with careful breeding selection! Her dam Wild Thang, is a good milker and easy birther but is lacking in the fiber characteristics we want in a breeding female. She is bay black with a loftier fleece, often seen in “old school” suris. Since Wild Thang needed fiber help so we chose Jet Stream to improve her lock structure and were amazed by the improvement. Jet Stream has the best re-growth we have ever seen (other than on his offspring) -- he has maintained his twisted locks and luster through several shearings. In addition, he is one of our densest males, with 63.5 follicles/sq mm and an S/P ratio of 10.6. He has made a significant improvement in the offspring of each dam he has been bred and this Shake’s dam may have been his greatest challenge!
Shakes full brother, Wild Tchoupatoula, did very well in the show ring, taking first-thirds. Since we knew this combination would produce significant improvement, we rebred Wild Thang the same way in hope of a repeat and got Shake, Rattle & Roll. She was only shown once and took 3/5. However, I think her fleece may be finer than her brother. It shows nice lock structure, a slick handle and luster. Be sure to see Shake’s close up fleece shot because it really is impressive what a good breeding can accomplish. Her fleece will also be available at the sale. Below are the skin biopsy results of her sire and one of his sons:
Jet Stream:
63.5 follicles/sq mm
S/P Ratio-10.6 to 1
Note: At the time that Jet’s biopsy was done, these were the only measurements being taken. However, he has enough tested offspring on the ground to know that they care consistently among our finest with the lowest spread between secondaries and primaries.
Last Hurrah:
69.5 follicles/sq mm
S/P Ratio-8.2 to 1
Level 3 of 4 Glands
50% secondary medullation
100 Secondary Fibers Averaged 18.1 microns
50 Secondary Fibers Averaged 24.7 microns
Like all of our maidens, Shake sells with a free breeding to any of our wholly owned herd sires or $500 off a breeding to Bronze Mahogany. Wild Thang comes with a voucher good for $1,000 off a breeding to Jet Stream if used immediately after the sale.
