HOWDY (Boy Howdy of Pines Edge)

Our VADER'S kids have hit the show ring, big time. True black son, Uproar, has been named 2 X AOA Supreme Champion and Judge's Choice at Futurity and GWAS. Vader's son Cinch has been named AOA National Black Champion and Vader son, Lights Out was named Champion black male at GWAS, while Vader son Applejack was named Champion fawn male at GWAS. Vader won the Get of Sire, dark offspring, class at AOA Nationals. What a start for the Vader kids!! VADER is a true black herdsire with exact conformation and top biopsy scores to support his fleece quality. And, he is deep true black offering the possibility of rich color in his offspring. VADER has an outstanding pedigree and is sired by the famous Lazy G's Accoyo Goldstar who was named 2015 Res Herdsire of the Year. Vader's dam, Stone Brook's Midnight Lockdown is a true black multiple champion including AOBA Nationals. Add these genetics to Vader's biopsy scores and you can see why we're so excited about this boy. EXCEPTIONAL BIOPSY SCORES: DENSITY - 68 follicles/sq. mm (average 44.3), SECONDARY/PRIMARY FIBERS- S/P ratio, 12.1-1 (average 9.5-1), LUSTER - 4/4 glands (average 2.9), FINENESS - secondary fibers 21.5 (average 24.1). (Averages are for Suri Males, 2014 thru March 2016, Dr Norm Evans). Please click the article tab above and read the Skin Biopsies article, by Liz Vahlkamp, to more fully understand the importance of these outstanding scores. Vader can definitely add density, luster and fineness to his offspring and his locks are consistent and well defined. VADER experienced a significant fleece break as a youngster and as a result was never shown in full fleece. It remains for his offspring to bring home the banners. I'm proud to co-own Vader with Mike and Janet Wilkins at Wilkin's Ranch Alpacas.
