Hendrix, Jimi
Hendrix, Jimi (ARI 31223720) was born on an early spring day to Ma Cherie, white (ARI #825696) also born on our farm in 2000. Hendrix’s father is Maple Brook Hummer, white (ARI #176341) blue ribbon winner and champion son of Maple Brook’s Bueno, (ARI #117889), one of the highly prized bloodlines in the country. Like Hendrix’s dam, Ma Cherie, whose micron count at 2 years of age was 18.3, Hendrix’ fiber coverage has that quality hand and feel and, as he has grown, the fineness, density, quality of crimp and uniformity of staple length are becoming apparent. (His maternal grandmother, Royal Peruvian Finesse ((ARI #801909) one of our leading breeding females – herself half Accoyo and daughter of PPPeruvian Grand Master 6019 (ARI #139292) had a micron count of 18.2 at two years of age and continues to have quality fine fiber as she ages).

Despite herbal lactation supplements for his mom, Hendrix was not receiving enough colostrum during the first few hours of life, so we began him on fresh goat’s colostrum and then successfully weaned him onto lamb’s milk replacement formula for the first 4 months of his life. Although small for his age, Hendrix is healthy and thriving with a continued strong bond to his mom. He will be a strong fiber animal as he matures with a mischievous personality that highlights his smarts and affinity for people. He will be in training to be a ‘therapy’ animal for a program catering to the emotional needs of the elderly and young children. |
