We admire Mercio’s dam line for production, size and power.  Mercio’s dam, Ranea No Mercy is a stunning looking doe who is linebred on a buck called Companeros Cascade Comet.  We had actually ordered a buck from the same breeding that produced Comet but he wasn’t born the year we sent a deposit.  Comet’s daughter and Mercio’s great grand dam was GCH Washoe Zephyr 24 Karat who was twice an ADGA Reserve National Champion. Mercio’s maternal grand dam, also a daughter of Companeros Cascade Comet, SGCH Washoe Zephyr No Drama milked over 4,500 lbs.  Mercio’s sire Lladro, is a son of Llyonesse who has 5 lactations over 3,000 pounds with a lifetime record of; 1806 19,943 673 3.4% 638 3.2%.  Llyonesse appraised 92 EEEE.  We admire the classy finished look Lladro’s daughters have. They have great dairy character with flat angular bone.  Lladro’s daughters also have exceptional mammary systems with excellent teat placement. We are breeding Mercio to a lot of kids including the 5 Auric daughters that we have in our herd.  These five breedings will concentrate the genes of this fantastic bloodline even further.  Semen will be available after he has milking daughters.
