Four words to describe Ideuma Creek's Accoyo Truman - Full Accoyo, Fawn, and Phenomenal! Update - we need to add two more words to Truman's description - color champion! Ideuma Creek's Accoyo Truman has taken three championships in his first three fleece shows. Even better than this - most recently he impressed judge Andrea MacDonald so much that his fleece was awarded the highest fleece show honor - The Judge's Choice Award!
In fact, judges from all around the country have had some pretty nice things to say about Truman's fleece:
Dianna Timmerman, "Excellent crimp style with density. Good brightness!"
Wade Gease, "Very clean fleece with exciting style and dimension, scoring high in all categories."
Andrea MacDonald, "Nice fineness"
Amanda VandenBosch, "Good handle and fineness", "Good solidity in staple and handle"
Poly Michaels - "Lovely Fleece!"
Truman comes from only Accoyo ancestry, and very impressive ancestry it is! His dam is Accoyo Venice, a maternal grandaughter of Victor and a paternal grandaughter of Royal Fawn. Venice comes by her Royal Fawn genetics through her sire, 4X champion, 11X blue ribbon winner and 3X get-of-sire winner, Accoyo Maverick. Truman's sire is Accoyo Stratosphere, a 5X blue ribbon winning Legacy son who has more than 35 champion cria on the ground. In short Truman blends Victor, Royal Fawn and Legacy genetics. No wonder he is so beautiful!
Truman is a very consistent medium fawn. Both his dam and sire are fawn. His sire has produced black cria, and there's a darn good chance his dam covers black as well. Truman should be able to produce dark, perhaps even black cria. His phenotype as well as his geneotype suggest this. Trumans gums and toenails are dark and he has dark points, all thought to be signs of the capability of passing darker color.
Truman also has a phenomenal look. He is covered from head to toe with beautifully soft golden ringlets. They are all around his face, down his legs, through
