Stirling Ridge IONA

Khloë's claim to fame is the LONG staple length she puts on her babies. Her cria from 2022, Iona, has amazing length of 5 1/2" and as a yearling she sold quickly because of it! Khlo-khlo just had another beige female cria in June of 2024 (Vivianne), the result of a breeding to true black Antonio of Golden Pines who has a 22.7 micron in his 10th year! If you buy Khloë only, we will have to wait to get her to you until this latest cria is weaned at about 6 months. Or you can buy both of them in a package deal, which is also at auction. Click on her EPD stats on the side bar. Here's what she is predicted to give her cria from the latest 2023 EPD results: Ranked 35% for AFD value —0.639, her offspring are likely to have a finer AFD than average Ranked 54% for SDAFD value —0.064, her offspring are likely to have a lower standard deviation than average Ranked 35% for Spin Fineness value —0.63, her offspring are likely to have a lower SF than average Ranked 36% for %F>30 value —2.93, her offspring are likely to have less % of fibers>30 micron than average Ranked 26% for Mean Curve, value 1.717, her offspring are likely to have more curve Ranked 86% for %Medullation, value +1.208 her offspring are likely to have more M than average. However, "The full impact of medullation remains a question at this point in time" (quote from Yocom-McColl labs). TOP 8.43% for Mean Staple Length, value +2.257 , her offspring are likely to have a longer SL than average TOP 21% for Fleece Weight value +0.398, her offspring are likely to have a heavier FW than average Khloë's 3rd year histogram was even better than her second year! We are EXCITED to have our first Snowmass offspring and she has grown into a lovely lady, proven with an easy & unassisted birth, healthy & hearty cria, lots of milk, and now rebred. Khloë's sire is Snowmass Snow Legend who has quite a remarkable background. Snow Legend is son of one of the most unique full Accoyo sires in the US, Snowmass Incaaccoyo Star (I-Star), who was sired by the one and only Peruvian Snowmaster. I-Star passed on his great conformation to Legend including bite, straight legs, & straight top line, as well as his FANTASTIC fiber with a tight and uniform crimp, lock structure, density, coverage, soft handle & bundling and luster. Khlo's dam is our own Muireall, a beautiful medium brown girl with lots of Acero Marka genetics. Khloë is named after our first granddaughter, Chloë. We initially thought our Khloë was going to be born on our granddaughter's birthday--that didn't quite turn out, but we kept the name anyway and our granddaughter was delighted with our choice!
