Hemingway's fleece is the finest on our ranch, measuring 17.8 microns with a standard deviation of 3.6 microns and a coefficient of variation of 19.1 percent when he was three years of age. Today his C of V is 15.9% which is even more remarkable since Hemingway is over twelve years old and has been shorn at least nine times. He is a big, robust male who yielded almost ten pounds of fleece from one year's growth at last year's shearing. He has over 450 cria on the ground in the U.S. and each one is spectacular. Visit the ranch and inspect the proof -- his offspring! As testament to Hemingway's influence on our breeding program the following Studmaster males, El Bello, MSA Hemingway's Tequila, NWA Haldane, and NWA Artero, are Hemingway progeny.
