This is Cyrenaica, a broken chocolate tort Satin Angora doe. She is 4 months old. I clipped her baby coat off about 6 weeks ago, so its short, but really growing in nicely, with wonderful sheen and a good texture. Although the broken SA is not showable, I decided to keep her for breeding because she has such a terrific body. Bred to a solid buck, 50% of the kits should be solid, without carrying the broken pattern. So she can be used in my breeding program to pass on her nice smooth, muscular body and improve my show line. Her sire is from Joan Hastings, and is a broken black. Joan holds the COD for the broken SA, and is working to get them recognized by ARBA.
