Asteroid is truly an elite male. After earning nine blue ribbons and three championships, he is now "retired" from the show ring and breeding full-time. Numerous offspring arrived this year and they are fabulous! Check out the head, color, crimp, bundling, and coverage he consistently stamps onto his cria -- they are outstanding across the board. Click here for a few examples and look for his offspring in the show ring soon.
Asteroid has amazing density and crimp with superior coverage around his face all the way down through his toes. His 2007 shearing yielded 7.5 pounds of gorgeous "apricot" colored fleece. At over three years old, he is maintaining an incredible 12 crimps per inch.
If you are looking for a colored herdsire that has exceptional density, fineness, uniformity, great bone, perfect bite and conformation, consider Asteroid. Just look at that head! Asteroid knows his job well and settled his first female at the age of 19 months. He is quite efficient and has been getting his job done in one "date", even with maidens.
Asteroid won his eighth blue ribbon at CABO at age 3 years, standing over a 4-time champion Zephyrus son and an Evander son. Judge's comments: "Impressive male, the oldest in this class of eight... the total package...Incredible balance, bone, density and consistency." He took home his ninth blue ribbon and third championship at age 38 months. During his show career, Asteroid has stood over the offspring of accomplished lines such as El Nino, Jericho, Express, Evander and Zephyrus. He is the embodiment of well balanced, vigorous genotype and incredible phenotype.
