RD Yahudi can help put your stud on the map as he has done for us. Now entering his twilight breeding years he is in wonderful condition, high fertility and still producing great cria. This is an opportunity to use him to advance your breeding program.

Bloodline

His sire is Algoma Chaska, winner of many (double figures) Supreme Championships before being sold to Europe. There are very fews of his sons at stud in NZ making this boy even more special. His dam, Eskdale Izarra, was 2nd in her junior class at the Nationals and maintained a very fine fleece being only 22 microns on her 8th fleece. His half-brother Rustic Dawn Columbus (by Honeyfields Sutherland) is a Supreme Fleece Champion (Mackenzie 2014) and the winner of multiple broad ribbons, especially in the fleece tent. Success breeds success and this is a highly successful line at a very reasonable access price.

Showing

Yahudi had a very good show career earning 6 Championships in both the fleece tent and show ring. At Malvern Colourbration (2015) he was only 0.5 pts off Supreme Fleece Champion. In the ring he had many successes but perhaps one of his best performances was at Mackenzie 2015 where he finshed 2nd in his class but ahead of the renowned Shamarra Dynamo who was in 3rd place. The winner of the class went on to win Supreme. He competed successfully at the best level in a short career which was curtailed when it was discovered he had a 'bobble tail' at the very last joint. I am sure this was the result of his paddock-mate biting him as he had been checked and been to many shows and checked by many judges prior. It has not affected any progeny and only mentioned in the interests of full disclosure.

Yahudi has maintained an excellent style of fleece still into the end of his 9th fleece. His latest fleece really remains quite outstanding for a 9th fleece and exactly what we and the industry are trying, or at least should be, trying to breed for.

Progeny

An outstanding producer from very limited oportunities. He has sired the Supreme Champions RD Iolaus and RD Rip Van Winkle. The very well performed RD Gold Mine (rated by us as our best breeding female), RD Femme Fatale and RD Buster Scruggs. With the highly rated breeding potential of RD Earl Grey & RD Aurora into the mix he has a very high strike rate of quality production.
