NB : Conditions might apply to matings in SA. **October 2014 NEWS UPDATE: Quidam's first cria is born, a beautiful LF female from a LF dam. **September 2014 NEWS UPDATE : Quidam wins his M-DF class at ROYAL ADELAIDE SHOW and then is awarded RESERVE CHAMPION SENIOR MALE as well. **August 2014 NEWS UPDATE : Quidam wins SUPREME MEDIUM-DARK FAWN AT VICTORIA'S COLOURBRATION SHOW with high praise from judges Lyn Dickson and Wendy Billington. ** July 2014 NEWS UPDATE : Quidam wins SUPREME MEDIUM- DARK FAWN HUACAYA AT SA COLOUR CLASSIC SHOW 2014 (Judges especially impressed by his fineness and evenness across the fleece). With his attractive pinkish, smokey hue Quidam should be of great interest to breeders of fawn, as well as those enjoying greys and roans, who are seeking fine, even fleece qualities. His sire, Tarantino, has proven himself in passing on his fineness and evenness across the body. (See Stud Males' webpage for more details) Quidam was shown successfully at a few shows in 2012, his highest award being Reserve Champion M-DF Male at VIC Colourbration and then a 2nd place behind the same male at the 2012 National Show. If the proof of quality is to improve and out-do your competitors with age, then Quidam has done well in 2013. He was shown only twice, winning first place in his class at Royal Adelaide Show and then going to the National Show in Bendigo where he was awarded first in the Adult M-DF Males class, with his nemesis from 2012 placing 3rd. The judges were very impressed with his fineness (at 30+ months of age). Quidam's full sister is a dark grey, and very fine, so there is every likelihood that he will produce his share of exciting colours. First fleece midside tested by OFDA 2000 : 17.1u, 4.3u SD 100% CF Second fleece midside tested by OFDA 2000 : 20.4u, 3.8u SD 98.7% CF Fourth fleece tested mid shoulder, midside and mid rump. Interestingly this confirms that Quidam is slightly higher in micron at midside and slightly finer at shoulder and rump (we had wondered about the 2013 test results !). Unusual perhaps, and very useful because shoulder and rump are more commonly stronger in micron. Across the saddle, this is a very even micron range, esp given it is the 4th fleece of a working male in heavy body condition ! and, undoubtedly, is why Quidam was repeatedly praised for his fleece's evenness. 2014 fleece, 4th fleece, sampled & tested at 3 separate points : mid shoulder : 23.0u, 4.1u SD, midside : 23.6u, 4.5u SD, midrump : 23.1u, 4.3u SD Average across the 3 points : 23.2u, 4.3u SD 2016 fleece test, 6th fleece, midside : 23.3u, 4.0u SD, SF 22.0u Full profile pic preshearing OCT 2014 Open fleece pic 2014 with 11 months growth
