Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold

Tuscan Gold has set a new standard of excellence. He is a complete package of perfect conformation, elite fleece characteristics with excellent bundling, brightness, crimp, and uniformity. The brightness of his fleece rivals suri luster. He has total coverage of this fleece from his spectacular head to his toes. And does he have presence! He just knows he is something special. When we check his sheared fleece in at the shows, it invariably gathers admirers and then further inquiry on which animal this fleece belongs to. This fleece has earned multiple championships and every specialty ribbon there is. He has maintained fineness well into his breeding years and is passing on this lasting fineness to his offspring. Tuscan stayed below 20 micron until he was 8 years of age when he was 20.0. And he passes this fineness on. For example, check out the histograms on sons Tuscan's Maestro, Tuscan's Semper Fi, Tuscan's Perfect Storm, all below 20 micron so far at 2 to 3 years of age. And uniformity is also in histogram mix.

But a great herdsire is really measured by his offspring, and has Tuscan delivered! 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. These babies have earned several Get of Sire awards for Tuscan Gold and several Breeders Best Three awards for Bella Vita Ranch. Our client list for Tuscan Gold offspring includes prestigious and discriminating farms such as Snowmass Alpacas, AL Pacas, Safe Haven Farm, Red Granite Ranch, Snow Diamond Alpacas and others. Judges have also bred to Tuscan Gold, so he has that stamp of approval from those who should know!

Tuscan descends from the award winning MFI Brock line which has produced multiple champion Tuscan siblings. If you are looking to add presence, style, fabulous elite fleece with an incredible hand and extreme brightness, total body coverage, and great heads to your alpacas, Tuscan is your guy. Give us a call to discuss this great male who has proven his prepotency through his offspring. Not only is he improving fleece, but he is fixing conformation issues, hardest of the two to correct. If you like champion huacayas with that teddy bear-look and fabulous bright, fine fleece, that's what he delivers.

Description

Semper Fi is a full Peruvian and 5/8 Accoyo male from a breeding that has repeated its excellence in every cria. Perfect in conformation and with great commanding presence, his fleece has density, fineness, and brightness to rival suri luster. We can't forget to mention uniformity and a buttery soft hand that makes you want to keep your hands in it forever.

Semper Fi is the third cria from this dam/sire cross. He was named after the Marine's motto Semper Fi (Fidelis), meaning "always faithful", because of his faithful adherence to the genetic code in his DNA. Predictable excellence is observed in the offspring from the cross of Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold and Sunset Hills Zeph's Zsa Zsamora, daughter of multi-champion Zephyrus (Royal Fawn) and out of Iris, a Caligula daughter.

Semper Fi earned his first championship at the 2012 ABR Fall Festival Fleece show, and he has earned four others in both halter and fleece shows.

Check out his 4-year old histogram to note the lasting fineness of the Tuscan Gold offspring. At four years old, his fleece is still below 20 micron and has a comfort factor of 98.8, meaning he only has 1.2% of fibers over 30. That translates to beautiful, buttery soft yarn and end product. Need that lasting fineness in your herd without sacrificing density? Semper Fi, with his Tuscan Gold lineage, is expected to deliver these excellent, predictable results.
