LIGHTS OUT named HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR, 2025, small farm division.
LIGHTS OUT earned Champion Black Suri Fleece at the AOA National Fleece Show, in his second fleece ! !
LIGHTS is the spitting image of his older half brother, 2X Supreme Champion, UPROAR. Deep true black, great head, full coverage and lots of luster on well defined locks. Look at his histogram at nearly two years of age. Micron just 17.9, SD 3.7 and comfort factor of 99.1, and he's black!! Lights has some strong men in his pedigree, including Goldstar's Vader, Cinders and Shavano and Lights plans to follow in their footsteps as an outstanding black Suri herdsire.
Lights Out was 1st and Black Champion at GWAS, 2019, becoming the first and only boy to have beaten his 2X Supreme Champion half brother, Uproar. GWAS used the two judge system and Judges Jude Anderson and Sara Jane Maclennan placed Lights first in his class and then as Black Male Champion and remarked on his cool soft hand, fineness, luster and density. Due to Covid, Light's show career was cut short and we know he would have continued to impact the show circuit.
Lights has grown an amazing fleece with impressive density and NO white spots or fibers. His first fleece, in 2020, received excellent remarks. Judge's notes, "WOW! Secondaries are fine (underlined) for black - quite uniform - many finer primaries in this highly aligned, high luster fleece." His second fleece was shown in 2021 and earned Champion at the AOA National Show. Lights' biopsy, at three years of age, shows density of 77 follicles/sq mm and AFD of just 20.9 microns.
Lights is actively breeding now, with offspring on the ground.
