Sweet Magnolia   

 
   

True Black, 1069815

 
   

All we can say about Magnolia is WOW! She has all the attributes one is looking for in a true black female. First off Maggie is a non-fading fourth generation jet black proven female. She has a very pleasing phenotype with a full bonnet, coverage from head to toe, good bone capacity, density and crimp. Maggie was shown only one time and placed 2nd in a very large competitive class of 14 behind the color champion; not a bad place to be for her very first and only showing. She is also great producer of high quality true black offspring. Maggie's first born son, Amistad, won his very first blue ribbon in his baby fleece at just six months of age in a competitive class of 14 as well. Her second son, Drakkar, is also an outstanding true black male having placed in the upper half of his class and has always attracted much attention with his full bonnet and coverage as well as pleasing phenotype. Maggie gave birth to another outstanding true black son, The Wiseman, on Christmas eve 08 and h

Dark Shaddow's book is closed to outside breedings. We are still using him in our own breeding program and you will be able to obtain his genetics through purchasing his offspring or a female bred to him. Dark Shaddow was awarded the prestigious 2006 Reserve Herd Sire of the Year! Shaddow is what is considered truely an "IMPACT" male. He is the only true black herd sire in the US that we know of that has produced the most champion award winning offspring and is the most consistent. Fifteen awards including "Get of Sire", 3 championships, presence, crimp, density, fineness, luster, conformation, thick topknot(the densest we have ever seen) and coverage. Shaddow is as black as coal and his fleece is non-fading even at 11 years of age. He has no gray fibers at all like most true black males of his age that we have seen. Shaddow's offspring have been taking the showring by storm, having won more than 50 championships (17 alone in 2006) and several blue ribbons. Several of his offspring (

Grand River has just released the information that DARK SHADDOW has been retired. We have loved this male from the 1st time we seen him and have been very happy with his offspring we have seen. Although we are saddened by this news we are happy to have purchased The Wiseman from Grand River. We feel certain he will carry on the excellence of the DARK SHADDOW line.


Wiseman is exactly what we were looking for in a Jr. Herdsire. Beautiful dense crimpy fleece with a nice soft handle. Excellent bloodlines with his sire Dark Shaddow who was the 2006 Reserve Herdsire of the Year. His dam is Sweet Magnolia who placed 2nd in a class of 14 behind the color champion in her only show.

Wiseman's fleece has exceptional density and staple length with a high frequency crimp. It is as bright as any black I have ever seen. His first histogram was an incredible 17.9 and his third fleece was still under 21 this is not often seen in true blacks. Wiseman's conformation is flawless with big bone, straight top line, with stick straight legs.


Wiseman has matured into a very impressive male. He has a very gentle personality and is an excellent breeder. If you like Dark Shaddow and want to add his blood lines to your herd this is a way to do so at a very reasonable fee. Wiseman keeps getting better with age and we expect him to produce some very good show quality cria for us!
