Iron Geisha of MHAR

American Iron is the type of male to compliment ANY quality grey breeding program. Such a stunning male - super heavy bone, outstanding presence, macho head ("Best Head" award winner at IAO 2011!) and a calm disposition. Get into his silky, fine, bright, LONG fiber and it melts away at the touch. It's one of those fleeces that just gets better with age. He's had a very successful career in the show ring including a sweep at IAO 2012 winning both the Grey Male Commercial Halter Championship and Reserve Grey Male Cottage Fleece Championship - a superior fleece in both divisions!!! The following year he won the Spinners Dream IAO 2013 - the top award in the Cottage Fleece division! Yes, Iron has the requisite successful run in the show ring, but more importantly this male has the power in his pedigree that tips the scales in his favor for reproducing his awesome phenotype, desirable conformation and fleece characteristics. Iron is sired by the incomparable grey herdsire, Aussie .38 Special. As he ages, .38 Special just keeps getting better. He is a two-time Judges' Choice winner, including Judges' Choice Fleece at the 2010 AOBA Nationals (4th fleece!). Iron's pedigree is packed: Hemingway, Victor, Royal Fawn, 5Peruvian Royal Incan Legend, Lanark's Silver Charm, Peruvian Aladdin...and let's not forget Hannaruh. Experienced breeders know the value in stacking a pedigree with proven and repeatable genetics, and American Iron brings that to the breeding pen. Iron's 3 year histogram shows a 22.3/ 4.4/ 19.6 with a spin fineness of 21.7. His 2015 Histogram as a five year old breeding male shows an AFD 24.7 SD 4.5 CV 18.1 CV 89.7 Curve 36.4! Iron's cria are now on the ground, and he is indeed passing along his superb conformation with superior fleece, long staple, silky fineness.
