YOUNG STOCK APPRAISAL RATING: Overall V (V Ec Ec) Ec in front legs, rear legs, and rump
Sibelius was an easy choice for a new herd sire this season. His pedigree represents lines already present in our herd with the exciting addition of his sire's genetics. Music is a stunning Liason daughter, who placed second in her class in the 2006 National Show right behind the National Champion, and then placed first in her class at the 2007 National. She is a well proven brood doe as well; her daughters in the Kickapoo Valley herd include CH Kickapoo Valley Land Symphony FS 91 (E E E E), and KV Gold Vibrato, FS 87 as a yearling.
Sibelius' sire, Saga, is a son of the incomparable GCH Stardust Cordite Saba 12 *M, who appraised FS 93! Saga appraised FS 90 as a three year old, and his value as senior herd sire at Kickapoo Valley quickly became clear as his first daughters freshened. Daughters placed 5th and 11th two year olds, and 17th yearling milker at the 2006 National show, and a number of his junior daughters placed in the top ten in their classes. A Saga daughter, Xangle, was first place junior kid at the 2007 National. Saga was named Premier Sire at both the 2006 and 2007 National Shows, and daughters comprised his 2007 first place Junior Get of Sire!
Sibelius is a handsome and very growthy young buck, who shows tremendous strength of bone, and structural correctness throughout. He is gentle (for a buck!) and easily handled. We plan to use him on a number of our top does this season.
