Lion Roar Rory

We are quite happy with this guy because he is from one our favorite fawn dams (no favorite's allowed) Zendaya of Zurich. Suffice to say his granddam Zurich is an all-time favorite. Her dark grey coloring and she has had the cutest and best fleeced animals for us. Rory is "our" only offspring sired by Majestic Armani.

His first shear was quite impressive. We went ahead to see if his histogram matched up with what we saw. At 17.3 AFD and 4.2 SD we think he has some good potential.

We went ahead and showed him as a yearling. Even though he did not place high, he held his own in the judges comments among some of the big breeders. . The judges commented a little more growing up time. From what we have seen, the Majestic's Armani from Jumanji line seem to bloom just a little bit later. He had commendable fleece score of 71/80 with a 19.5 of 20 in fineness & handle and well above average uniformity, 4 of 5 of density and 8.5 brightness.

We are pleased with these attributes and decided to show him again following spring. He only got a 5th in halter and the judge said placing was due to his longer face, should I mention I almost cried when shearers sheared his face clean because he really did have that full-face coverage as you can see in our shearing photo of him. However, the 2nd show the judge kept going back and forth between the one she placed first among some of the industry greats so we were super excited about receiving a 2nd. His walking fleece score card shows 4 of 5 density 8.5 brightness and 18 of 20 fineness despite the wind mud etc. These are traits we have been aiming to improve in our huacayas so we are grateful we received this feedback.
