CCNF Sovereign Tenor

As with his paternal brother, Dreadnought, CCNF Sovereign-Legacy represents another Elixir/Matrix Majesty cross that was born and grew up here that will likewise be joining our breeding program as a full-fledged working Herdsire. Not that we couldn’t see this coming, mind you. Sovereign-Legacy’s dam, CCNF Luna Majesty, is a member of the all-powerful PPeruvian Jesusa/Magdalena/Golden Sovereign family line and in fact her 2018 cria, CCNF Nymeria – Sovereign-Legacy’s full sister – was not by chance a Supreme Champion at the 2019 AOA National Show in Denver. Meanwhile, Sovereign-Legacy’s cousin and genetic full sibling (their dams are full sisters), CCNF Valyria, just finished her show career by winning the Judges’ Choice award at the 2019 Futurity for the second year in a row. It’s a level of consistency that rivals that of any family line in our breeding program’s 24 year history. So what does Sovereign-Legacy bring to the table in addition to a pedigree that is already illustrious beyond measure? The simple answer is fine, bright, and uniform fleece and *crap-loads* of it. Just shy of his 2nd birthday, he sheared a 6.08 lb. skirted blanket that tested out at 18.27 AFD, 3.4 SD, and 18.8 CV. That, on a farm that has never been accused of underfeeding our animals. The possibilities of what a male like him can do going forward are quite enticing to say the least. Do we have enough unrelated females in our program to breed him with? Quite frankly, we’ll find them if need be. We are excited to have this amazing Herdsire now working in our breeding program and are thrilled to offer him for limited outside stud service. His first crias hit the ground in the summer of 2020 -- spoiler, they're rather nice -- and all things being equal, they will make their show debuts in the spring of 2021!
