Snow Diamond Cadeau

All of the traits that we breed for come together in Defiance – impeccable fineness, uniformity, brightness, density and high curvature in a merino-style fleece. His exquisite fleece is carried on a strong frame with impressive substance of bone. This is one beautiful male!

Defiance’s genetics combine the lasting fineness found in the Hemingway and Legacy lines with the low medullation for which the Elite line is particularly well known. These advanced heritable characteristics are expressed in Defiance’s superior fleece that hardly changes from one year to the next. At seven years of age, Defiance’s 2016 histogram was: AFD 18.7; SD 3.1; CV 16.5; %>30 0.3 and MC 69.4. Defiance is in the top 1% of EPDs for five traits: AFD, SDAFD, SF, %>30 and MC.

He has won numerous awards and championships, including the 2013 and 2014 IAO Supreme Champion male.
