Fio's Daphne

Daphne is an exceptional young female ready to start carrying on her dam's production record. Dama Lustrar, her dam, passed away when Daphne was just 3 months old. But, having a birth weight of just 11 lbs., Daphne weighed 41 lbs. at 3 months of age when we lost her mom and wouldn't take any bottle or supplement! She has thrived from day one and is a testament to her dam's nurturing and mothering traits.

Dama, her dam, produced 11 cria in her lifetime, 9 of them being females. The females have proven the heritability of good milk production and mothering qualities. We expect Daphne to be no different.

Daphne has a very bright fleece with tiny pencilling and good locking and staple length. Very straight conformation complete her package.

Daphne (and her dam) were owned by my 85 yr. mom and she chose to not breed a lot of her females. Daphne's only cria, Lily of the Valley, was a gorgeous, dense-fleeced beige female. She sheared 5.2 lbs. at less than a year old.

The purchase of Daphne gives you the opportunity to breed her to any of our proven herdsires for 1/2 off their listed breeding fee. Or, if you choose to breed them to one of our up and coming junior herdsires, breeding fee is $500/each with your purchase.
