ANDACAL'S MON CHÉRIE

CHECK OUT CHOCOLAT'S OUTSTANDING EPDs BY CLICKING ON THE LINK! Chocolat has science on her side with excellent results in her histogram. 21.2 microns AFD with a good standard deviation of 5.0 microns. It also shows great staple length in her first shearing and she had a solid fleece weight for such fine fiber. Her EPDs came back with indications that she will produce crias with great fleeces as she is consistent with exceptional EPD rankings across the board. She also has genetics on her side. Chocolat is out of dam Pucara Mischa's Belle and Black Beau of PVA. Mischa's sire is Pucara Kahuna. She and GLR Alia are most likely the two foundation females in our herd with the strongest pedigrees. Kobe, Diamonte, Black Beau and Kahuna are herdsires with such great legacies based upon the crias they've sired. We can't wait to see the crias she'll produce. Chocolat had a white female cria sired by Sierra Bonita's MacGyver's Synergy on June 9, 2018. She was a big girl weighing 20 pounds and looks to have a good fleece. Synergy died in February 2018 and this cria and another male cria belonging to Mike and Janet Wilkins also born in June 2018 will be the last two crias sired by Synergy. Unfortunately she developed a tender fleece and was never shown. On July 2, 2019, Chocolat gave birth to an 18.5 lb female cria. She looks to have a creamy color so she may be beige or white like her half-sister born last year. She exhibited great locking on the day she was born and great luster. She is developing into a beautiful young female. That daughter named Chérie was shown as a yearling and was the winner of three banners including a Reserve National Championship in March 2021. On August 26, 2021, Chocolat birthed a 19 lb male cria. He was sired by Micah. The cria is black with a white face and white at the bottom of his front legs. The fleece and phenotype both look nice and we are looking forward to see how he develops. On September 2, 2023 Chocolat had a 19.4 lb brown female cria. The cria has a white face and beard as well as white at the bottom of her front legs. This girl was sired by Zoltar and her fleece is extremely nice. It has a great staple length, wonderful luster, a very soft handle, and little penciled locks that are nicely organized. She has a gorgeous Suri phenotype with great fleece coverage. Chocolat has had no problem birthing her crias and all have been large crias. Her crias have grown well as she provides plenty of milk. She's an excellent mother. We have left Chocolat open, and she will be bred in 2024.
