Rare Gem Royal Velvet

“Millie” is a stunning female who displays her well-thought out Buck Meadow Farm breeding decision. She brings the genetics from multiple color champion Goldsmith and the genetics from champion producing Legacy son Taos (Zeppelin's Sire). The breeding goal was to produce a fine fleeced animal in color so Trinity was selected to be the dam. Trinity offers an exceptional fleece as she still carries a 17.2 FD for her 7th fleece. This girl has proven to pass on this type of lasting fineness which she most likely inherited from her sire-- Taos. Millie offers very good bone density and a clean proper frame that is well-balanced. Her rich medium fawn fleece is solid throughout and her fineness and handle are impeccable. Her 2014 histogram for her third fleece returned a FD 16.9. This is virtually unchanged from her second fleece stats and also very similar to her dam Trinity! UPDATE: 1/19/20 Millie delivered a handsome 17 lb. appaloosa boy out of Illini’s Adam’s Mark! We couldn’t be more pleased with him. Beautiful appaloosa patterning, tons of fleece and a pedigree packed with appaloosa genetics to compliment our existing program. So pleased to introduce... Rare Gem Adam’s Design! ?? UPDATE: 10/26/17 Millie delivered a beautiful dark fawn female out of Granite Bay Royal Steel. Royal was the 2016 Futurity Grey Reserve Color Champ and Gold Country Best Bred By. Royal Steel is not only dense (65mm/SQMM), he is fine with low medullation (less than 5 percent of light colored fibers), SP ratio of 12.5 to 1, AFD 17.7 and level 3 of 4 gland presence (seen in bright fleeces) {Norm Evans}. Millie has tons of milk and continues to be a great mom!
