Description

A reserve color champion winner at her first show, Red Granites Sassafras By Val D Lsere has an ultra-uniform, fine fleece with the same brightness and density that her dam had at her age. Show record aside, we really love this female for her combination of the best white genetics and the finest color producing genetics offered in the United States.

Sassafras' dam, the multi-champion (included AOA National Champion x2) Snowmass Heaven's Guardian daughter; Snowmass Heaven's Spice carried a histogram test of 20.7, 3.5, 17.1, 0.8, 60.6, 19.5 at nearly six years old (2021). Her sire Heaven’s Guardian’s grid fleece results are stellar in Ultra Royal grade: 1st 13.2 microns 2nd Shearing 14.6 3rd Shearing 16.7 and 2015 16.4. So uniformity is rather strong on the maternal side of Sassafras' lineage, not a surprise considering it is of Snowmass' top white animals making it up....

Her Sire, Red Granites Val D Lsere needs no introduction. A 3-time Supreme Champion and multiple Herdsire/Reserve Herdsire of the Year recipient.

Sassafras herself is a lovely built animal from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail -- everything just blends and proportions so smoothly. Her fleece is super uniform and full of high frequency fleece bundles all across her body in a white coloration. She is a Judges' Choice (under AOA Judges Arturo Pena) and Color Champion winner with four Reserve Color Champion banners to add. Sassafras took the 2021 Futurity White Female Reserve Color Champion banner with raving comments from Arturo Pena, once again!

Thus far, Sassafras is a great breeding female.
