AOA# 847010DOB: 7/6/200321 yrs
Jarusha was the first cria born on the farm. Her dam, Empresaria, was the matriarch of our original herd. Empresaria was medium fawn and Jarusha's herd sire, Luminoso was white. We certainly didn't expect a dark brown cria from that breeding. Over the years since Jarusha's birth, we have learned a great deal about the genetics surrounding fiber color and quality! Her SHIP score was 4.5/5 for her fineness and 5/5 for her Suri style!
Jarusha's first show, was in fact our first time showing. Imagine our surprise to bring home a blue ribbon! Jarusha won FIRST in a class of NINE at the 2004 Southern Select.
Jarusha is a proven female with 4 crias sired by FG Shaka and Yuma of Long Hollow. All of her crias showed well, with the exception of Phaedra who died unexpectedly from an accident at a young age.
Jarusha is our tall, majestic female. She shows of her Peruvian traits with grace. Her dark color and posture often catches the eye of our visitors. She is stoic and always aware of her herd. She inherited her dam's matriarch personality!
Today, Jarusha is enjoying a quiet life on our farm. She is often the first to lead her herd out to the pasture. She prefers to cush in her favorite shady areas, but remains active & inquisitive with the crias.
It is our goal to maintain the quality of life of those who spend their retirement years at LHSA, and we monitor the weight and health of our seniors closely.
