Sire: Black Hills' Samadu Bay ARI#
31354973 Light Brown This amazing male is a clone of his sire and sports a beautiful compact body with nice bone and straight legs front and back. The luster, crimp, and handle of Samadu Bay is exactly what we expected from Castano and Butterfly.
Samadu was born at 8:30 am on a foggy 30' degree morning and was up and running within 20 minutes. At only an hour old Samadu was showing off in the pasture and prancing about in his own special style. Pictures do not do him justice but you can readily see the resemblance to his sire Castano Bay. It will be fun to see how he matures.

Dam: Andina's Marni ARI#
31658508 Beige Andina Marni is a pleasing young proven dam. Her fiber is fine with all the attributes you would want in a female. Marni's EPD are at or better than the national herd values for the majority of fiber traits.
Marni is an easy keeper, she is easy to handle and very gentle. Marni had difficulty conceiving this past spring and hence we have priced her at pet quality and to a good home. This does not mean she will not conceive at a later time. She is proven with 2 normal pregnancies and 2 normal deliveries.
Marni has a histogram that is well above the national average. Marni's AFD at age 5 is a fine at 21. She has a very distinctive head with ideal conformation. We were pleasantly surprised when we realized after purchase that she has EPDs with many values improved over the average norming herd values. Her accuracy is high assuring she will deliver on the EPD trait improvement to her offspring. Marni is in the 10-20th improvement percentiles for nearly all traits. A very nice, well rounded improvement fiber determination for her offspring.
