Maple Brook Shabu

In the fall of 2011, Shabu delivered a rnmale cria sired by Accoyo America Enterprise. This full Accoyo male is extremely rnbright with wonderful density and nicely developing crimp. Wade Gease, the rnwell-respected AOBA judge who we hired to do a herd evaluation in December 2011, rndeclared that he appears to display all the qualities of a show quality male. rn

This lovely full Accoyo has great presence and is covered with rnultra-fine fleece. Her sire is Maple Brook's multi-champion Accoyo Bolivar who rnis a Vengador son. Her dam, Accoyo Angelique, is a daughter of Accoyo Godfather, rna relatively rare bloodline in this country.

When we sheared on April 30, rn2012, Shabu's histogram came back as follows: AFD 21.1; SD 3.7; CV 17.7; 2.0% rngreater than 30. As an eight-year-old, you can't get much better than that. rnIsn't that what this fiber industry is all about and what we should be breeding rnfor!

During a visit with a customer and his consultant, we had the rnconsultant take a look at Shabu's fleece. She could barely contain her rnexcitement when she took a look at the "matchstick bundles" in this little rngirl's fleece that go all the way down to her belly button.
