SILVERSTONE'S KIVA

Kiva is a beautiful rose grey girl sired by WLK Silver Stone, the 2009 Grey CC at The Futurity and then in 2015 was the Dark Color Get of Sire at The Futurity. That means the top part of her pedigree has Silver Heat, Angel, and Silver Bullet. There are also great grey dams in Silver Stone's pedigree like Uma, Silver Orchid, and Stone's dam Silver's Jewel. Silver's Jewel was a two time banner winner including a Reserve Champion banner at The Futurity. Jewel not only produced Silver Stone, but also produced Silver Threads. The top part of Kiva's pedigree is definitely filled with great grey genetics.

Kiva's dam is WLK French Silk. Silk is a 5 time banner winner and a 1 time Judge's Choice at MOPACA in 2012. Silk is half Accoyo as she is the daughter of DDF Double Dutch's American Spirit who is full Accoyo and was at one time sold for $175,000. Double Dutch is a Crown Royale son. Kiva's dam's dam is Pacific Crest Peruvian Polly and she is a MacGyver daughter. While there are no greys in the bottom of Kiva's pedigree, it is filled with outstanding genetics. French Silk has been biopsied and she had great data with an S/P ratio of 10.2 to 1 and only an 8.3 micron spread between the secondary and primary AFDs.

We purchased Kiva to be a production female for a grey line in our herd, but the simple fact is we have too many production females right now. We submitted a fleece sample for a histogram and that data was used for her EPDs (click on the link). We are pleased with the grade 2 fleece and the uniformity when one considers Kiva is a grey with a mixture of colors in that fleece. She has developed a little higher micron to her fleece, but we are really pleased with the good amount of uniformity she shows for a grey female. Kiva had a 13.6 lb male cria sired by MMALP Citation on June 25, 2020. He's either brown or a modern dark rose grey and time will tell for sure. He has outstanding luster.

We have bred Kiva to Zoltar for a cria to be born in June in 2024.
