Fowberry Nobility
With five girls pregnant, Fowberry Nobility is now working and will be available for on-farm or drive-by matings from 2012. Nobility is a neat male; his whole female line is neat and his sire Top Account is also compact. Amongst others, we have put Nobility over a large female and a female needing more density in her offspring. We believe he will carry through his consistency of fawn and hopefully the most staggering of fleece characteristics. Nobility's second mating was successful; after his first he lay comatose on his side, trying to capture some dignity and his breath.
