Description

Handsome Granite has a champion Snowmass gray sire and top-knotch pedigree and is quite sweet and adorable. His fleece is uniform and a deeply pigmented gray / slate colored fleece. Winter 2023...his cria tips are still a little relaxed, but the crimp is starting to show promise at the skin. Excellent brightness and a silky, supple handle. Density looks good. When Granite was born I found his dam at dinner time having difficulty...uh-ooo...cria being born right before dusk. This boy was born backward...with the bottom of his back feet pointing up at the sky, so he was helped out...gently pushing one leg in to get the opposite leg out, then the other leg, then he slid right out..looking like he'd been in that position for his entire gestation. I swung him in a circle to remove fluids from his airways and with one month stall rest to help his legs he did the rest and is looking great. His dam was fine with just a little extra recovery time from the birth. His pedigree is loaded with top shelf genetics.
