Gelata is a really beautiful girl with a lovely head and phenomenal fleece. Her first fleece was 7 inches long with bold crimp and a buttery feel. The handspinners are loving it!
Gelata's sire, Diomedes' Dirk of Stirling Ridge, is spectacular, holding his fineness into adulthood under 18 microns. This is in large part due to his sire, Accoyo America Diomedes, a stud now standing in Canada and out of the esteemed Accoyo America breeding program.
On Gelata's dam's side, the Peruvian genetics are outstanding (PPeruvian Felix, PPeruvian El Moustachio). Her grandsire, El Campeon, has won top awards for his fleece. One judge said he stood out well above the others in his class and that was his adult fleece!
We bred Gelata to AHarmony's Espiritu de Tequila (ET), with the 2016 outcome of a beautiful beige daughter. She then bred to an up and coming junior herdsire, Colter, resulting in another beautiful and very sweet beige daughter.
