Silverhill Victor

IAR 89068

DOB: 18th April 2005

Colour Solid Lt Fawn

Bloodlines NWA Ltd Ruffo, Purrumbete El Dorado & Purrumbete Ledgers Dream.

Silverhill Victor is a solid light fawn male. He was sired by top accoyo male NWA Ltd Ruffo, who was the number one pick at the 1994 Peruvian Elite Sale and was purchased by Haldane to be taken into the USA, and subsequently on to Australia. Victor is one of only three Ruffo sons currently working in NZ. Through his dam, Victor has the genetics from two of the six venerable ancestors of the Australian herd, Purrumbete El Dorado and Purrumbete Ledgers Dream.

Victor has a lovely soft, silky handling fleece with great lustre and great uniformity. His fleece is beautifully crimped in well-aligned staples. He has good density and this is being passed on to his progeny. We feel Victor would be a good choice to put over your coloured girls or any white girls that lack density.

Victor did well in the show ring, consistently winning ribbons in both the breed and fleece classes. His first cria hit the ground in March 2008 and he now has 12 cria on the ground with more expected in 2010. With the exception of one cria, all cria from coloured dams are coloured themselves ranging from medium fawn, through brown to bay black (registered as dark brown but judged as black in the recent Warkworth Show in which she gained 1st place). He has just thrown a lovely medium grey male cria out of a grey dam which is already displaying a lovely crimpy fleece.

His major show successes include:-

Waikato Royal 2005 Junior Male & Supreme Champion

Franklin 2006 Champion Fleece 79.5 pts

Auckland Royal 2006 Reserve Champion Fleece 76pts

Waikato 2006 Reserve Champion Fleece 71pts
