Mercio is genetically
designed for production, size and power. He was an ADGA Qualifying Young Sire
with ETA 2:1 52, ETA 1:2 49. Mercio's dam, Ranea Auric No Mercy 6*M
3-03 89 (VVEE), is a stunning doe who is linebred on a buck named, ++*B
Companeros Cascade Comet. Comet's daughter and Mercio's great granddam is SGCH
Washoe Zephyr 24 Karat 5*M 4-03 92 (EEEE), the two-time ADGA Reserve National
Champion. Mercio's maternal granddam, also a daughter of ++*B Companeros Cascade
Comet, SGCH Washoe Zephyr No Drama 5*M 3-02 90 (V+EE), was a breed leader with
two lactations over 4,500 lbs. Mercio's sire, SG +*B des Ruhigestelle Lladro, is
a son of SGCH des Ruhigestelle Llyonesse 5*M 5-07 91 (EEEE), who has five
lactations over 3,000 lbs with a lifetime record of: 1,980 22,119 743 3.4% 706
3.2%, she was also 1st place Aged Doe at the 2009 ADGA National Show.
The merging of these two lines has proven to be fantastic in Mercio's 3/4
sister, SGCH Ranea Lladro Zafira 5*M 3-02 93 (VEEE), who finished her
championship being 3x1st, 3xGrand Champion and 1xBest Doe-In-Show at the 2008
REDGA Show. Mercio's littermate sister, Ranea Lladro Mercia 1-04 88 (VVVV), has
also shown great promise being 4x1st place Milking Yearling at the 2009 REDGA
Show. Another Lladro daughter, Meme's Pride LL Xiang, was Grand Champion at the
2009 Mendocino County Fair.
We usually do not offer semen on bucks without seeing mammary systems or milk
production on the daughters, but given the strength of this doe line and the
appearance of Mercio's kids, we have decided to sell a limited amount to get
more proof in other herds. Please not that after this initial offering, the
semen price will increase. ~ Daniel Drake, DVM
