Interested in appaloosa patterns? Touche` (as he is known around the farm) is quite the eye catcher living among solid colored boys! A very unique looking boy, his coloring unmatched. As he ages, his beige with spots body is giving way to a very light rose gray. I can see it more in his tail, back legs & low on his sides, but the markings are unmistakable.
Touche` is a fiber producing machine! His staple length at our 2009 shearing measured 5" with great crimp. By Nov 2009 it measured 4" , very dense & with visible bundling. Even on the cool winter days he begs for a belly spray!! And now after our 2010 shearing, his staple length was just under 6". He is simply getting better with age!!
Personality? This boy is FULL of himself! He plays well with his herdmates and is calm to work with on health day. He is showing the yearling boys around the "big-boy" pasture & seems to have patience with their curiosity.
He possesses the ability to criate extrordinary babies because he is the whole package; endless color possibilities, dense fleece with great crimp & staple length and awesome conformation.
