2013 biopsy results: Density 60.25, S/P 10.3/1, S/P 18.8/26.1, Spread 7.3, Gland 3of 4, Medulation 10% We believe a lower spread leads to better uniformity, better handle, etc. McPryed is passing on these genetics.
His Second Fleece prime blanket 5.3lbs, neck fleece 2lbs. The entire 7 lbs of fleece was similar enough to be spun together. His fleece was used to create ultra lace weight yarn for our machine-knit dresses. 6,400 yds/lb.
2016 Histogram. AFD 23.0, SD 5.7,CV24.8, >30 9.8 at 5 years of age. This was his 4th fleece. His prime blanket was 5.2 lbs and again he had 2 lbs of neck fleece. all of which is very usable fiber.
McPryed's first 2 cria are demonstrating these same fiber characteristics. fineness, Lock and low SD
These genetics don't surprise us as his Dam "Pandora" had a 2016 histogram report: AFD 19.8 , SD 5.7, CV 28.7, >30 6.3 This is at 8 years of age. Pandora's last cria "Haukea" at 1yr AFD15.6, SD3.9, CV25.5, >30 0.8
Mc Pryed's 2017 cria Cutter, owned by Memory Acres, was Reserve white champion in all 3 shows at MAPACA, then white color champion at 2018 National fleece show, and reserve white champion at 2018 Suri symposium fleece show.
2020 shearing produced a 4.4# blanket and 1.8# neck, all grade 2-3 and very usable.
