One highlight of many, was Katie’s magnificent doe, Bungalow Farm’s Odessa who managed to ‘squeek out’ 501 g. of wool on a 90 day coat (2004 g./yr)! It was close, but Odessa now holds the record for highest wool production for a Colored Angora. Of course there is still the remainder of the year for someone to break this record, but it’s been a longstanding one as Harvest Moon’s Amaryllis has held the record since 2008 (1912 g.). Odessa now also holds the distinction of being the first colored angora to exceed 2,000 g./yr. Congratulations to Katie!
The weekend was a lot lot of fun especially since the weather cooperated by not raining (too much). Good food, good company and fantastic hosts, Margie and Al!
