An interesting addition to our RED lines is the first VARIANT RED calf to be born.

 

Rockset Player Koral Red is sired by a RED Pronto son of Stoneden Fools Gold Red VG88 (by Goldwyn) and out of Crichel Outside Koral 23 PI EX91-2E SP who completes ten generations VG/EX.

 

We look forward to seeing more calves from this interesting new genetic source of RED!
