Exceptional Data Translates to Exceptional Progeny. PICASSO'S biopsy and histogram scores are outstanding and the proof of his quality is in his offspring. Picasso sons and daughters have garnered numerous banners, Judge's Choice Awards and AOA National Supreme Championships!
Look at PICASSO'S stats and you can understand why he consistently produces top quality offspring. His biopsy scores are some of the best we've seen. S/P ratio of 11.1-1 and micron variation of just 3.8!! (19.1 to 22.9 microns) Add to this, high density of 58.25 follicles/sq mm, top gland rating of 4/4, and only 30% medullated fibers resulting in a dense, fine fleece with outstanding, smooth handle.
At three years of age, six fiber samples were taken. Three on each side, hip. mid-side and shoulder. The results showed amazing consistency of micron across the blanket, low SD and high comfort factor.
PICASSO has an exceptional, award winning, sire and dam, and he himself has been twice named Champion at Futurity. PICASSO is sired by Shavano, the signature true black herdsire at Great Lakes Ranch, and the 2010 Futurity Dark Herdsire of the Year. PICASSO'S dam, Rockstar's Peruvian Paloma, is a multiple color champion producing exceptional cria.
PICASSO'S first offspring was GLR Amayah, and she was named Reserve Brown Female Color Champion as a juvenile at the 2013 AOBA Nationals. The next year Amayah, continued to win championships and the coveted Judges Choice Award at the Futurity, and Brown Color Champion at the Suri Network Fleece show. Picasso's beautiful true black daughter, GLR Jamiyah, was a multiple color champion and earned 2 Judges Choice awards at the 2015 AOA Nationals and the 2015 MAPACA Jubilee. And, the list goes on. Now Picasso's daughters, Limerick of Pines Edge and GLR Sloan, have both been named AOA NATIONAL SUPREME CHAMPIONS. Picasso's kids are rocking the show ring.
