Ichauway is a very attractive male out of Ivory Lace by Maple Brook Barnabus (a 10X Get-of-Sire winner). Ichauway's fine, uniform fleece is very bright and features a medium-high-frequency crimp style. His 2014 fiber stats are 15.68 AFD, 3.2 SD, 20.39 CV and 0.0 %>30. His mean staple is 98.2, and his mean curve is 51.3. Ichauway's 2013 EPDs place him in the Top 1% for AFD and SF, the top 2% for SDAFD, and the top 5% for %>30 and MC.
His fiber stats are not an accident. Both his sire and his dam also rank high in the 2013 EPD calcuations. Barnabus is in the Top 1% for AFD and SF, and Ivory Lace is in the Top 1% for SDAFD and SF. At six years of age, Ivory Lace was still under 20 microns. She is well balanced on a large frame, and her fleece has beautiful brightness, high-frequency crimp, and noticeably fine and uniform fiber.
