Description

We love this male! Josef is the son of multi-champion Pucara's Kahuna and Big Timber's award winning dam, KBTA's Kerolyn. His genetics are packed with the best suri bloodlines...Kahuna, Armani, Miquel, Uribe.

Josef's fine fleece is dense and locked to the skin. His first fleece AFD was a superfine 17.1 micron with an SD of 3.3 and is ranked in the top EPDS in the country. His second year fleece was a close 19 micron with a continued SD of 3.3.

Halter and fleece show judges agree with his quantitative fleece stats. As a 6 month old, Josef placed second in a large competitive class at the 2014 Futurity Show. He was so fine and dense as a juvenile, we had to shear him and showed him in previously shorn classes as a yearling.

Most recently, Josef, as a 3.5 year old male, was awarded Invited Color Champion and First Place at the 2017 AOA National Halter Show for white suri male and Color Champion and First Place at the 2017 CABA Classic Show. In 2016 as a mature male, he was awarded Color Champion and First Place at the 2016 Futurity Halter Show and First Place at the 2016 AOA Nationals Show. He also won First Place and Color Champion at the 2016 CABA show in both halter and fleece.

Josef was recently evaluated in the SHIPS (Suri Herd Improvement Program) by Cheryl Gehly. He received a perfect 5 score in all conformation categories. For fleece characteristics, he scored perfect 5's for lock structure, uniformity of color and fleece phenotype. He scored 4.5's for density and handle. He scored 4's in the areas of luster (luster score of 18), fineness (20 micron) and uniformity of micron. Josef is truly the whole package!

Josef also has outstanding rankings in the 2015 EPDs that confirm his genetic prepotence:

AFD--top 3%
SDAFD--top 2%
SF--top 3%
%>30--top 2%
MSL--top 5%
FW--top 6%

In addition to his dense, superfine, uniform fleece and outstanding conformation, Josef has a very gentle personality and is a pleasure to work with.

Josef's first crias hit the ground in 2016. A beautiful white female out of our dam Sweet 16 (who unfortunately died at 2 months of age from pneumonia) and a stunning male out of Carmelita. We are expecting many more Josef crias in 2017.

Josef's boy, Cedrus Libani, at six months old, placed 3rd out of a competitive white class of 10 at the 2017 Futurity Show. His full sister, Osage Misae, was the highest selling suri in the 2017 Futurity Auction selling at $15,500. Josef's full brother, six month old, Kahuna's Isaac placed first in his Bred & Owned class at the 2017 Futurity Show and won Best Bred & Owned at the 2017 CABA Classic.

We are so happy to have the Kerolyn/Kahuna genetics in our breeding program.
