Degas is a nice solid Light Brown (or very Dark Fawn depending on the light!) male with a bright, dense, fine and soft handling fleece. His father is solid mid brown and, even at 7 years, had a stunning fleece with an mfd below 18 microns. His mother is mid fawn and also had a very fine fleece at 10 years. Degas has a produced cria in all colours ranging from solid White to solid True Black (no greys yet or multi coloured yet!). His son, Diomedes (2018), produced the Champion Brown fleece at the 2020 Royal Three Counties Fleece Show.
