The Tempest
Mesquite's Tropical Storm
Alpaca, Huacaya, Male | Light Fawn
AOA #31116961 | DOB: 8/28/2007 (17 yrs)
Sire: MFI Peruvian Black Mesquite
31116961<--ari-->True Black<--color-->Like his incredible sire before him (4Peruvian Matador) Black Mesquite is already producing champion offspring: Ineffable, Butterball, Panasche and Oil Slick to name a few. Black Mesquite's offspring dominated at the 2005 and 2006 AOBA National fleece shows, claiming 6 of the 8 championships--every one entered won a championship or a reserve championship, both years. His rock-solid color genetics and incredible dense, crimpy fleece makes this pre-potent male "one-of-a-kind". His outside breedings are limited.<--description-->
Dam: MFI Tropical Delight
31116961<--ari-->Dark Brown<--color-->Tropical Delight was awarded 1ST PLACE at the 2008 Ohio Buckeye Alpaca Show for PRODUCE OF DAM!! Tropical Delight (1/4 Accoyo) is a beautiful dark brown female who has given us our 10X Black Color Champ Rumm Runner, and she's done it again! Her 2007 cria, Mesquite's Tropical Storm, is a stunning light fawn male with fine, dense, extremely bright fleece, and a multi blue ribbon winner against very tough competition! Tropical's sire is MFI Peruvian Donovan, a multi-Champ award winner, and her grandsire is Accoyo Peruvian Augusto. Donovan's and Augusto's bloodlines are noted for dense, elite fleeces, and Tropical definitely passes on these characteristics. With her genetics and champion service sires, she has delivered outstanding results for us. Be sure to see Rumm Runner's and Mesquite's Tropical Storm's listings.
If you want to improve your herd with the Donovan bloodline and produce colorful cria with dense, elite fleece, Tropical Delight is a proven producer of top quality alpacas and would be an excellent addition to your colored breeding program.

Description
Like the tempest, Stormy flashes and resonates like lightning and thunder. His genetics and phenotype are strong like hurricane force winds.
Stormy makes a stunning first impression—he is large and imposing, but with a quiet and sweet personality. Fineness, density, conformation, character, staple length, coverage, crimp--Stormy has them all and show judges have confirmed it!! His fleece is extremely bright, fine, dense, and crimpy.
Stormy is following in the footsteps of his bay black half-brother, 10x Champion Rumm Runner. Stormy's sire, MFI Peruvian Black Mesquite, has had limited outside breedings, which makes getting access to these championship lines a challenge. Stormy's lighter color comes from his great grandsire PPPeruvian Augusto; the rest of Stormy's genetic background includes blacks and browns. His first crias are on the ground, in many colors, and all have inherited Stormy's fantastic fleece character!
Stormy took 1st Place, Halter at the 2008 Ohio Buckeye Show and the 2008 MAPACA Jubilee!! Tim Lavan said that Stormy had the best brightness, most consistent fleece coverage, and had consistent crimp throughout. At his first show (Level V 2008 Indiana), Stormy earned second, with Peter Kennedy stating that his fleece was finer
and had more character than the first place alpaca. At the 2008 Kentucky Classic, Stormy placed second in his class, to the eventual color champion, and Jill McLeod said, "both animals are very strong and these breeders will do well with these animals. They both are well-conformed, have density, fineness, staple length, character."
Stormy's dam, Tropical Delight (1/4 Accoyo), also gave birth to 10X Color/Reserve Champion herdsire Rumm Runner, and at the 2008 Buckeye Show, Stormy and Runner delivered 1st in "Produce of Dam" for Tropical Delight! With Augusto, Donovan, Matador, and Black Mesquite in Stormy's background, he is carrying on the tradition of ribbons in the show ring, and we expect him to have a great breeding career.
