We are retiring, so Tuscan can be purchased with our breeding/show stock. See our package deal. 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

Tuscan's MVP is a stellar true black young male who has silky fine, bright fleece with the classic Tuscan Gold head. He is correct in his conformation and started out with a blue ribbon at his first show, the 2015 MOPACA show. He then developed rickets which we are treating, but the angulation in his front legs has has placed him lower in the ribbons since then. With sunshine and vitamin A&D treatment, we expect his legs to straighten again and his placements to improve. He has excellent bone and is a very handsome young male. His sire is our #1 stud, Tuscan Gold, and his dam is a champion, Marianna, who we got from Front Range Alpacas in their final retirement sale. She was the #1 female we were after in that purchase of multiple black females with her excellent pedigree, confirmation, and show record. Marianna's dam was a beautiful gray female by Nic Nac, and Marianna's sire is Legend's Challenger of KPR, giving MVP solid strength on both sides of his pedigree. Update 9/4/15: MVP is total eye candy. In our pen at the sales, he is the one who catches everyone's eyes for his total cuteness, beautiful head, teddy bear look, and true black color. They just don't come any cuter than him. His fleece is showing excellent staple length, good density, and remains silky fine. No histogram yet, but you can expect it to be well below 18 micron by our guess. His legs have straightened up nicely, but there is still slight angulation. However, this is not genetic as Tuscan Gold has over 100 cria on the ground, and leg issues are not in the repertoire, and MVP would make an outstanding true black herdsire. In fact, if we were not retiring, he would remain at Bella Vita - no question.
