Dually Honored is our next generation Dually son, without any question at all. The histogram I uploaded here is his FOURTH shearing. Face it, you would kill for stats like his on a CRIA FLEECE. With a dam like Maple Brook Marla, who always had a grade 1 fleece, I am not one bit surprised at this line. I never showed Dually Honored. His third fleece was shown and it did well, but probably would have done better had I done the skirting. Many of those "professional skirters" out there will over skirt a fleece and you will lose points in annualized fleece weights as a result. Now DEFCON5 has shown at the MA spring shows for the past two years. This year, they added a Walking Fleece class -- and he ran away with the White Color Champion in that class. DEFCON5 just turned two and we are going to add him to our roster of stud males in the next few days, even though we are content to wait until he is truly showing he is ready to breed. I don't believe in rushing any animal into production, male or female!
Anyway, DH's proven kids include a light fawn daughter in NJ born two days ago and these two absolutely stunning white offspring, Honorable Mention and Nora, in NYS. Here we have our Magic Bean and Our Miss Manners, who are so utterly amazing that we have already sold Beanie and are hoping that we can hang onto Missy for our future program plans!
