Ransom - Feb 2024
Certificate
Huacaya, Open (Female), Proven | Light Rose Grey
Ransom was a "coup de coeur" at a show we attended and well...she came back home with us! She has been part of our best producing classic grey females ever since. Ransom has a compact, boxy frame with a great head style...a real true-to-type conformation and this is what caught our eye first but looking into her fleece was just as impressive! Great density, with a super high frequency crimp and delightfully fine fleece from head to toe. Really the whole package in grey! Although she was competing against one of our top classic grey females at the time (Saona Rose), Ransom was able to hold her own in the show ring! She would have certainly had a few more RC wins and maybe even CC wins should there had been enough grey entries in the shows where she placed right in front or right behind of Saona. Ransom has produced some of our best crias in the last couple of years, her offspring are simply amazing! In 2021, she has produced a stunning rosegrey male (Rusty) out of our Bomber son Wingman. Rusty has an eye-catching conformation just like his dam and he has even won CC at his first fleece show (cria fleece) in the fall of 2022. This little guy will will be shown again in the spring of 2023 and will most certainly become part of our herdsire row when of age! We look forward to having a few more outstanding cria from this amazing female before she retires!
