Fiber Genetics Potential:

We believe "Latte's" fiber statistics are impressive and we believe he carries the genetic potential to maintain those numbers. Take a look at the fiber stats of his sire and dam:

PHA Maximus

Histogram age 1: AFD 17.2, SD 4.4, CV 25.3 >30 1.0

Histogram age 6: AFD 22.3, SD 5.1, CV 22.9 >30 5.0

NOTE: Of Max's 20 offspring, 90% have been tracked with annual histograms. So far not one has exceeded Max's age six AFD of 22.3, including the four year olds.

Paradise Ridge Chaccuna

Histogram age 5: AFD 24, SD 3.9, CV 16.3 >30 5.3

Histogram age 6: AFD 25.6, SD 4.2, CV 16.4 >30 9.8 Total weight: 7.48 lbs

NOTE: These are phenomenal numbers for a production female who had delivered three cria

Phenotype: Although "Latte" is not a large male, he is solid and well balanced with a proud carriage and presence. He has a beautiful "typey" head. Although we don't consider it a flaw others might, so we need to mention that "Latte" carries a quarter-size rose gray spot in his blanket.

Temperament: We believe temperament is highly inheritable and have no concerns about the temperament "Latte's" offspring could inherit from him. He is quiet and easy to handle. Someone who handled him in the show ring for us commented that they would like an entire herd with his temperament.

Show Results: "Latte" has been shown at three different venues in Northern California and Southern Oregon. He has never been shown the gate in a halter class. His show record includes:
