NeverSummer's Manchester

Manchester has the gorgeous dark brown fleece with black points and with his background from .38 Special and NeverSummer's Ladysmith, he produces incredible color of brown, black or grey. His fleece is dense and bright with wonderful handle, bundling and definition. Awesome zipper crimp style! Manchester is a very big boned male and has incredible presence and conformation. As he matures he is just getting better and better.

Manchester's offspring are looking great! As was our intention, he covered several colors of dams so that we can prove out what he will throw. He has thrown rose grey, true black, fawns and browns. Our observation at this time is that he throws a shade or two darker than the dam.

Manchester' daughter PJA's Mariah claimed a Reserve Color Brown Female banner at GWAS 2016! Mariah remains in our herd as a foundation female.

PJA Tia Maria- his daughter born 2016 is a gorgeous True Black that is (as of TxOLAN 2018) a 5x banner winner! SOLD

Another of his lovely daughters, PJA Manchester's Dixie Rose took a 1st place and Color Champion at MOPACA 2018 in her first show as a 7 month old. At the time of selling Dixie Rose, she has claimed 5 banners at only 1 1/2 years of age!! SOLD ** update April 2019 see Dixie Rose with 11 banners**

A son of Manchester's, PJA Zydeco Man also pulled in a Color Champion banner with his gorgeous true black juvie fleece! SOLD

We are now offering 1/2 interest in NeverSummer's Manchester!!! Sharing this incredible male can be a great benefit to both parties as Manchester is throwing beautiful offspring. Dark Fawn when bred to fawn, True Black when bred to black and Rose Grey when bred to Rose Grey!! Manny is showing us he is a great producer of black! He threw 5 black offspring in 2016! His black offspring sell - heck some as crias with dams before we can even list them. For instance, PJA Summer Windsong sold as a cria and is sure to go on and be another showstopper!!

While NeverSummer's Manchester is standing at his home in Hesperus, CO we would also love to see him work more and stand with a partner in a different state. Contact us for more information!
