Could some of you maybe wax poetic about him as a sire?

Ignore I'm a yutz! I already asked this question. The sea air and constant rain is melting my brain
Poor Silver. So underrated.

*waxes poetically*
Cherokee Run and the lot....um....
He's a good sire and very consistent. Has done a good job maintaining a branch of the BR line.
