ANDACAL ANVIL'S EXTRA CHROME

You want genetics, Anvil's got them! His sire, Black Beau of PVA, is a 4th generation champion out of Diamonte of PVA who's sire is the great Kobe of PVA. His dam is Eagle Valley Zambia. She is a daughter of the renowned Pucara Kahuna and is a stud production female. Al Cousell at Pucara said Zambia is one of the best Kahuna girls ever produced and that seems pretty likely as she produced the 2018 AOA Nationals Light Male Supreme Champion. Those genetics have also paid off for Anvil because as a late maturer he has developed into a solidly built male of good stature with great conformation and a slick, lustrous fleece. You want science saying the fleece is excellent, Anvil's got it! He has good to excellent fleece data in a skin biopsy, histograms, and EPDs. Anvil's skin biopsy report by Dr. Norm Evans from December 2015 is noted below: “MMALP Beau’s Anvil” was biopsied as a 3 year old medium brown suri male. His ARI# is 32403411. His 15X scan shows fiber clusters that are very uniform in shape and placement within his connective tissue. His density is 52.75 follicles SQ MM of skin and his S/P ratio from 25 fiber clusters averages 12.7 to 1. Note on all scans that 100% of his secondary fibers are medullated as shown by the red spots in the center of the fibers. He shows level 4 of 4 gland structure. One hundred secondary fibers averaged 23.9 microns while 50 primary fibers averaged 36.6 microns. This equates to a micron variation of 12.7 microns." The histogram at age 3 years 8 mos. shows an average fiber diameter of 23.9 microns and a standard deviation of 5.4 with only 8.1% greater than 30 micron. That data is very good for a dark brown male! He started breeding after that 2016 histogram and his fleece became a bit coarser with a 25.5 micron average fiber diameter. Still good for such a dark male that's breeding. That fleece sample was to be included in AOA's EPDs and Anvil is a top 10% male for AFD, SF, and %>30. All 7 categories show he will most likely improve each one at least a little bit in his progeny. Check them out by clicking on the EPDs link. A multitude of attributes you want in crias are found in Anvil. He is a proven herdsire and has a few crias on the ground. The two that are registered are very nice. Anvil is showing he improves upon the females to whom he has been bred. We proudly co-own Anvil with Leslie Rebtoy's Healing Springs Suris.
