Skye is for sale because she belongs in a breeding programme where she can be mated to the best grey males and we no longer have that in our plan. However, this autumn she has been mated to our Champion Brown male, Arcady Gleam, on 19/05/2020 and is spitting off strongly. Gleam is a great grandson of Hope Downs El Gordo, so the mating is a distant line-breeding back to El Gordo. Skye has been a bit of a fatty because we did not know where to go with matings for her and left her open for some years prior to her first mating. Hopefully, having crias regularly from now on, she will return to a more svelte figure ! Skye is a strongly-conformed female with a pretty, light rose grey fleece. She had a solid dark roan male cria (Arcady Quasar) late 2019, now weaned, who was sired by Arcady Quidam (SDF w/DG dam). Her cria has fine micron and a high frequency crimp style. We will retain and run him on for assessment. SKYE IS THE FULL SISTER TO THE CHAMPION GREY STUD MALE, ARCADY SMOKECLOUD, who is also a very light rose grey. Smokecloud was sold to stand AT STUD IN NEW ZEALAND and has produced superior stock there for his NZ owners incl multiple Champion Grey on halter and fleece winners. Smokecloud himself won a number of ribbons from few shows in Australia before being sold to NZ. These included CHAMPION GREY MALE AT THE 2012 AAA NATIONAL SHOW AS AN INTERMEDIATE. Skye's sire, Hope Downs El Gordo, should need no introduction to those who have been following grey breeding for years. He has produced excellent progeny and is the grandsire of many of Arcadian's best producers. Skye's dam, Cloudy Sky, was a beautifully-fleeced light silvery rose grey who became ill and died suddenly from suspected bone cancer and thus only has the 2 progeny continuing her lineage. Cloudy traced back to P. El Dorado and WV Ice Lord (a 1/2 brother to WV Iceman) To be honest, Skye does NOT have the same amazing density and fleece structure of her magnificent brother, Arcady Smokecloud, but she is a handy grey girl with FANTASTIC GREY CREDENTIALS, and, as his full sister, she has everything going for her as a likely champion grey producer, if mated properly. NB Skye does have blue in her eyes, as does her brother and some other maternal relatives. This is not an issue for her or her future progeny, mated to colour. Unfortunately we do not have a fleece test available for Skye's 1st fleece .... not sure why or if it is misplaced ? 2nd fleece 2017 midside : 23.0u, 4.2u SD, 95.4 % CF 4th fleece 2019 midside (FAT FAT!) : 27.3u, 4.4u SD, 79% CF
