this year again passed the second showing with unanimous vote.   It received the "super pass" or "exemplary status" to skip the third showing and becomes an accepted variety.  The journey to get to this point has been a length 25 years, many tried and failed then this super success thanks to the dedicated team of Kellyjo Younggreen, Sandra Wight and Joyce Holliday.     There will be many posts to show the current success and also visit the history of this journey.

On Monday, one day prior to the formal presentation, the broken Satin Angora are all on the table for examination.  There are a total of 19 on the table brought to the convention by Kellyjo, Sandra and Joyce.  The NARBC standard committee chair and his members select 12 to be used for presentation to the ARBA standard committee.  For the second showing, the rule is to have at least 2 senior bucks and 2 senior does among the 12 animals, the other 8 could be seniors or juniors, bucks or does.

There are 5 senior bucks available for selection, a minimum of 2 are needed for presentation.

There are 5 senior does available and a minimum of 2 are needed for presentation.

There are 5 junior bucks, no minimum nor maximum.  

There are 4 junior does, no minimum nor maximum. 

NARBC standard chair is Eric Stewart starts the examination process.    There are 4 others including yours truly going through all 19 of the potential candidates then discuss which 12 to be presented to the ARBA standard committee the next day.

Many of the animals came from Sandra's barn, of all of them, this broken chestnut senior doe is her favorite.

I'd agree this senior doe is superb.  I have the honor of doing the finish grooming on her the next morning.  She is absolutely beautiful.
