Challenger has earned the right to be called one of the few Herdsires who continue to stamp out outstanding crias! His 116 crias have earned 337 Show Awards! That averages out to about 3 awards per offspring! Of those, 120 were Champions, Reserve Champions, or Blue Ribbons! (235 were all 3rd and above) And when you consider that some of the Dams have been way below Challengers quality, it elevates his breeding value well above the rest!
He seems to throw his fleece character into his cria almost every time, and these characters are just what the judges - and the industry - are looking for! Tremendous density while maintaining great fineness, and bundling that is very tight with excellent separation of bundles.
Challenger has extremely strong color genetics and has had 92 Black or Grey cria out of the 116 registered cria he has sired. And his cria just keep on winning Championships!
When you see your female give birth to a Challenger cria, it literally takes your breath away! Every Challenger cria on our ranch has made us so excited we could hardly wait for show-season!
Some of his cria will be posted on our "for sale" page and that's a great way to get his bloodline into your herd without his expensive breeding fee. Several of our females are breed to him and that option gives you his winning genes and also the top-winning genes of our female for you to continue to work with in your herd. That gives you three different options to be able to breed his power into your herd-line.
