Nordica   

White, 1018219, 1/4 Chilean, 3/4 Peruvian

Nordica's son, Cyclone, just won 1st and Reserve Champion!!!!!

Nordica is a lovely white female with exceptional conformation, and a beautiful fleece. Her back and legs are straight and strong, and she carries herself very upright. Her fleece has great softness and great character, but it is the brightness that is most striking. Nordica's crimp style is tight and consistant.

Her sire is a son of ACCOYO PPPERUVIAN YUPANQUI, and a grandson of PERUVIAN HEMINGWAY. Her dam is a daughter of PERUVIAN GERONIMO.

Her paternal grand-dam is DDF Bobbie Ann (RAINMAN"s dam), who is known for maintaining her fineness for many years.
Fantastic genetics!

Nordica is a great mother with excellent milk. Judging from the picture with 3 cria under her, it must be the best milk on the farm. She is very attentive to her own cria, and she is also very sweet and attentive to all of the other cria in her pasture.

Her 2007 cria is sooo nice that Nordica was bred righ

Another girl! That makes 10 girls, 11 boys born so far, and more due anytime soon...

IMPORTANT... Valerian's cria, like him as a cria, have great coverage, fineness, incredible brightness (one farm described it as looking like shiny plastic) and the look of a suri's fleece. The crimp does develop as you can see in the picture to the right of Valerian's cria fleece and 2nd shearing.

This 3/4 Accoyo El Nino son has fiber that appears to be dripping gold. Valerian has the softest hand and is incredibly dense, with a long staple length. His crimp is visible without touching his fleece, all the way down his legs and up his neck.
Seeing him and touching him will speak volumes more than I could ever write.

Valerian has the same calm dignity his dam, Verbena (a Victor daughter and mother to MSA Pinot Noir), has and gets along well with his 11 other pen mates. He can be led to and from his breedings by putting your arm around his neck and walking with him.
