Description

Everyone loves Bertie Lou!

Such a lovely young female and one that we knew was special the minute she hit the ground.

Bertie carries the fleece qualities so prevalent in .38 Special's offspring. Her fleece is extremely fine and uniform across her entire blanket. Her 9-month fiber stats were MFD 16.9, SD 3.3, CV 19.4, 0.3%>30.

Clearly Bertie's 2nd fleece is maintaining its quality as this is what brought her to the top of the field when she received the Color Champion at her first show as a yearling in October against extremely stiff competition.
