Every year we are anxiously awaiting the cria that our Traviata will bless us with and this year was no exception. We were thrilled to have a beautiful white cria that had the most dazzling, bundling white fleece we had ever seen. He has grown into an amazing young stud and has a temperament to die for. He is so easy going, just a joy to be around, and on top of all of that he brings excellent conformation, and an exquisite fleece to the table. We wish we were still showing him, as his fleece has turned nicer with each year. He is one of those studs that will walk off with the CC at four or five years of age. Just an amazing package, but what we have come to expect from our four time champion girl, who never disappoints us. UPDATE: Overture's first cria hit the show circuit this spring and took TWO Color Championships and Best of Show at the Cal Classic.

Red Granite's Pruet by Bad Boy we hope will have the same longevity of fineness that his father has, Bad Boy. You can look under the sire tab on this page to see the AFD measurements on Bad Boy over the past 8 years. Pruet's first 3 histograms look like he will continue with this long line of longevity. All three of Pruet's Histogram show an AFD is under 19 microns. That is longevity. Further Pruet will increase density, crip, handle and fineness. Pruet can also improve your offspring in the area of uniformity with a consistent SDAFD at or under 3.8 SD. He is guaranteed to improve SDAFD having an EPD in this category at ranking of 0.7%. Putting Pruet in the 1% for SDAFD. Pruet will reduce medullation fiber given his EPD is 0.4 % in the rankings. All of Pruet's EPD rankings are more than desirable, insuring definitive offspring improvement in 7 of 8 fiber traits. Not just a little improvement but significant improvement. If you have white animals with a decent histogram picture, breeding to Pruet can give you your next fiber champion. Pruet's actually has improved rankings in staple length and fiber weight over his sire. So, you're getting all of the fineness genetics of his sire but more improvement in these other important fleece traits making Pruet the real deal. Red Granite describes Pruet like this; "Standing on a strong and great frame alongside carrying a gorgeous bright crimp that has the BLING factor, he is a very exciting male to look at. Most importantly, his fleece remains very "fine" and retains extraordinary brightness, handle, and uniformity across his blanket. We would assume that all of those traits listed above would also be passed down to his offspring, after all that is what this exceptional sire line is known for doing…"
