Lingering FIneness

PI Cashew

***Sadly, Cashew passed away early in 2016. We will leave her information up on our site as she was one of our main foundation dams and we still have her offspring available. We are confident that her offspring will carry on with her great characteristics. Thank you, Cashew! You were a true lady.***






Cashew is a 1/2 Peruvian, 1/4 white Accoyo granddaughter of the legendary PPPeruvian Auzengate 6101. On her dam's side, she is the grand-daughter of PPPERUVIAN AZUL CELESTE 4865, who was one of the elite females from the original 3rd Peruvian import. Cashew passes those genetics very nicely onto all her cria.
Cashew passes on color when bred to color. She has produced light fawn when bred to beige and light brown when bred to light brown.

She is a good mother with no health issues at all. Just an overall good mom. She is white with good conformation and good quality fiber with lingering fineness. This fineness has been passed on to the 4 cria’s born to her on our farm. All of her offspring will be moving into our breeding program, and in order to make room, we are willing to let Cashew move on to help bring her amazing qualities to your herd! Cashew was bred late this year to Bertolini for a repeat of her stunning 2011 cria Bertolini's GirlScout. Her ultrasound was inconclusive as it was done very soon after the late breeding. We will retest her again in the spring and rebreed if she is not pregnant.

Update: Cashew's 2013 cria arrived during our open farm day event in September. A perfect light fawn/beige male, named Augustus.

We have decided to give Cashew a break and allow her to go into semi-retirement for 2014. We are currently offering her at a lower price while she is open. This a great opportunity to bring Auzengate genetics into your herd. We will include two breedings to any of our fully owned herdsires with her purchase price. We will also consider additional discounts if purchased as a companion or fiber animal -- this will allow her to move into full retirement and become a lady of leisure!
