Semper's cria are just beautiful!
We have 6 of them here on the farm - Brigadier (med fawn), Salute
(white), Sangria (brown), Lexi (beige), Zuma (brown) and Allegiance (light
fawn). Come see what Semper could do for you!
Semper is really building on the dams he is bred to - highlighting
their already nice attributes and improving those that need it. Semper's
crias are showing very well, taking ribbons in competitive Level 5 shows -
several from dams that have never placed in a show. In all cases,
Semper has LOWERED the CV adding improved uniformity to the fleece.
UPDATE:
We just had Semper's yearling, 2-year old and 7-year old fleece
evaluated by Certified Fiber Sorter Pam Harwood and we couldn't be more
pleased with her findings...
In a nutshell, his 7 year old fleece is just as nice as his younger
fleeces! He has consist micron results across his blanket - his
secondaries graded a 1 and 2 with very few primaries and those that did
exist were crimpy too! His primaries graded 2's and 3's - quite impressive.
Here's what Pam wrote about his 7 year old fleece "wonderful
uniformity of micron across the blanket no matter where samples pulled.
Primaries are few and crimpy too!" Click here to see Semper's sort report
and some fiber stats for some of his crias.
Grade 1 = micron <20 Grade 2 = micron 20-22.9 Grade 3 = micron 23-25.9
--------------------------------------------
Semper's farewell performance from the show circuit really created some
excitement as he took 1st in his class and Reserve Color Champion
at over 3 years of age! For those of you who missed him during the
shows, you are invited to come see him on the farm - you won't be
disappointed.
Semper Fidelis caught our attention the minute we saw him. He's an
Accoyo Legacy son and a Don Julio grandson, but he's also a champion
all on his own. At two years of age his micron was a low 22.5 with an
impressive SD of 2.9 and CV of 12.9 - both very important for fleece
consistency. In fact, Semper has the lowest CV we have yet to
see...anywhere. Plus he is a beautiful dark fawn with some of the best
genetics in the country. His beautiful fiber complements his stunning
confirmation winning him awards around the country.
What happens when award-winning herdsires produce award-
winning crias? Stud fees go up! Well, not here... WE'RE BRINGING
SEMPER'S STUD FEE DOWN!
Since we are a small farm and would like to see Semper used more, we
are temporarily taking $1,000 off his already low drive-by stud fee of
$3,000 making his new drive-by stud fee only $2,000. This is where you
bring your female to breed with Semper at our bio-secure facility and
leave the same day after the breeding takes place. Mobile breedings are
also available within 250 miles of Deering NH.
Click here to learn how you can save up to 20% on our already low
breeding fees.
Already have Legacy genetics in your herd? Perhaps you should
consider our Herdsire King. Two of Semper's best crias are from
King's Dam and 1/2 sister via his Dam. If crossing Semper with King's
relatives produces these types of crias, we can only imagine what
crossing King with the Legacy line could produce.
We have some wonderful females available that are ready to breed
and include a breeding to Semper (or King). Click here to learn more.
We have additional herdsires available as well.

We proudly dedicate our purchase of Semper Fidelis to our step father, Melvin Murrel,
a former Marine 1st Sargent, our grandfather, Rev. Dr. Daniel K. Poling and the farm's
namesake, Clark V. Poling who have each shown us the true meaning of "always
faithful" and remain an inspiration to the farm today.
