Aeneas, ram - May 26 2019 - $300 registered with papers
Dam: Sky S32399
Sire: D'Artagnan S51238 ( sire: Ulysses S34431; dam: Natasha S34433 )
Aeneas’s
incredibly
soft crimpy fleece is an intriguing combination of browns, greys,
oatmeal and coppery cinnamon. His head and legs are cinnamon brown.
The smirslet markings on his face are blond.
He has inherited his
father, D’artagan’s sweet natured temperament, who in turn
inherited it from his mother, so perhaps that is a characteristic
that he will pass on. His mother, Sky, has time and again proved
herself to be the wisest sheep in our flock. Time will tell if
Aeneas will inherit this trait.
Sky, won 3rd
place for her 2015 fleece in the raw fleece competition at the Finger
Lakes Fiber Festival.
Through
his mother, Sky, Aeneas has a pedigree that can be considered quite
illustrious in the Shetland world. If you click on her ,
Dehliala’s registration number in the mini- pedigree, it will mothertake
you to the expanded pedigree showing that she is the product of over
5 generations of Maple Ridge’s careful breeding program
