One to watch!

American Armada (aka "PJ")

How often do you get to see US and Canadian powerhouses join forces? One look at this young male's ARI and breeders who are paying close attention to ancestry will zero in on both male and female power players in this one certificate.

PJ (as he is known around the farm) is one of those that the stars aligned on. Strong and correct frame with full fleece coverage. His bright white fiber is fine, dense, uniform across the blanket and showing obvious staple formation everywhere from top line clear to under the belly. He was shown once as a 6 month old and came in 2nd behind his paternal sibling (yay - proving this is a strong consistent line!) due to PJ having a shorter staple due to us shearing him late due to his late birth. We can't see how he matures!

Arriba Branson has sired many ribbon winners for us, including color champion, Charming CiCi, who now resides on another farm. This impact male is passing on the very traits we want in the next generations - strong bone, excellent fiber characteristics, a beautiful true-to-type huacaya head and a fantastic presence (and great personality, too!).

The dam, Pearl, is simply a stacked "Who's Who" of genetics. She brings the beautiful fineness and brightness to this equation like few others. Her other offspring, Gorgeous Barbie, was also a banner winner her first time out!
