BREEDERS OBSERVATIONS
With a follicle density of 50.8 and low primary and secondary micron results that are only 6.2 micron apart, we expect big things from Hennessy. Add to this his dual registration and legendary USA sires of Caligula and Hemingway in his pedigree.
Hennessy is available for servicing in an SRS(R) breeding program at a discount to subscribers.
Dr. Jim Watts comments:
"Halcyon Hennessey is a terrific herdsire. His progeny, now up to two years of age, are testimony to that fact. He has the ability to remove guard hair and produce silky soft and uniform fleeces on all his progeny, even when the dams have been clearly lacking in fleece quality. He is an important male in our overall breeding program."
