When Snowmass Divine Love was born into this world he brought something special with him. A lavender coloured fleece. The history of Snowmass Divine Love is interesting. He was brought to compete in the 2013 Futurity. The owners had the challenge of not knowing what class he was going to be placed as he had this unusual color and the AOBA show system didn't have a color on their chart to cla... |

Another little (or not) gem from the Howling Hill robbery by Willow Wind Farm in 2021.
Blue Divine (we call him Blue) is a modern rose grey - might not be SUPER obvious in this picture but yes folks - modern he is and in the knick of time. I have some pretty outstanding modern studs but we were needing another cross and this guy fits the bill perfectly...
See his histo history below... EKE.
In 2015, he had an AFD of 16.6 / SD 4.1
In 2016, he had an AFD of 15.5 / SD 3.1
In 2017, he had an AFD of 14.7 / SD 3.2
So, every year, he got finer.
And is he dense?
Yes. Yes, he is. A 2018 biopsy by Ian Watt confirms it: With 91.8 follicles/sqmm, Blue is the densest male Ian has tested that is darker than light fawn. According to the database, he is the 4th densest, period. (Biopsy under "Histogram.")
Is he likely to pass it on? Well, his full brother's histogram numbers are similar, so I think so. Blue's pedigree is a serious study in careful line-breeding, with 3x Hemingway, 2x Legacy, 3x Bueno and the great Maree Love twice, somewhat close-up. Despite this, his lineage is extremely genetically diverse. As a rare son of the great Snowmass Divine Love, who was recently exported and whose lineage has been carefully guarded, he is an outstanding outcross to most all of our herd -- and to most other elite lineages.
Then, of course, he wouldn't be here if he wasn't a darned handsome guy to look at. He's got the head. He's got bone, coverage, a nice, deep body and an ultra-compact, boxy stature -- and TONS of presence.
This guy is on lockdown as he hasn't performed quite yet so this year he has dates... a number of them. By 2023, we should have a good look at how he is doing. More to come.
