Goldie is a special girl. This sweet girl has fiber that you love to touch, so soft and silky. With her staple length and bright shine, this fiber is a joy for spinners and knitters alike. This is not surprising given her heritage. Her dam Vanilla Breezes and grand dam CeeJae both still produce fiber that is harvested for next-to-skin fiber production. With this understanding of their fiber qualities from her maternal line, we know that Goldie will continue to stay soft and shiny for a delightful yarn year after year.
With her sire being the notable Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold, renowned for his own silky soft fleece that has garnered him multiple champion and specialty ribbons, Goldie clearly has the lineage for lasting fiber quality. Coupled with her spot on confirmation, gentle personality, and overall stylish looks and calm presence -- well, you have the solid foundation dam that you are looking for in any quality breeding program.
Bella Vita Ranch comments about Tuscan Gold: "He stamps his babies with remarkable consistency for fine, well organized and crimpy fleece with his signature brightness on a beautifully balanced frame with good bone, extremely typey heads, complete leg coverage and his unmistakable presence....Tuscan is full Peruvian and 3/4 Accoyo. He is an Augusto grandson and Leon great grandson through his sire and a Starr Khan grandson and Hemingway great grandson through his dam. With these great names in his pedigree, it is easy to see why he gathered multiple color championships. Tuscan descends from the award winning MFI Brock line which has produced multiple champion Tuscan siblings. It is prepotent in the genetics."
Goldie had a beautiful LF boy sired by Destinati, which fit the bill of our 'order' exactly (except that we ordered a girl :) )! We are letting her take the rest of the year off and will revisit her breeding next year. We are thinking Supermassive, Maelstrom, or Dauntless.... so many good choices to pi
