30881099<--ari-->Bay Black<--color-->3/4 Peruvian 1/4 Chilean Mezcal is, in our opinion (and that of renowned judges) one of the finest black huacaya males in the nation. His sire is Dark Shaddow (Dark Reserve Herdsire of the Year at the 2006 Futurity; 1st place Get of Sire at the 2004 Kentucky Classic, [of which Mezcal was a part]; 3 Championships, and more). Mezcal himself has accumulated an impressive array of awards (see below), including: 1st Place and Reserve Championship award at the AOBA 2004 National Show, out of 50 of the finest black males in the country, at only 8 months of age! In this highly competitive show, the largest at that time in North America, Mezcal beat out Crescent Moon's Kryptonite, himself a National Champion in 2003, whose 1/2 interest sold for $175.000!! Mezcal is the Real Deal!! "Mezzie" has extraordinary fleece: bright, with lovely crimp, literally from head to toe. His fleece handles like butter, soft, with excellent density and coverage. His last histogram, at age 32 months, indicates his inordinately uniform fleece, with an SD of 3.7 and a CV of only 13.7!! He is a striking male, strong-boned and conformationally outstanding. He has a classic huacaya head. Bite and testicular development are excellent. He is one of the most balanced males we have seen, moving gracefully and always presenting a "photo-op". He has a very easy-going temperament, something we value in a herdsire. Mezcal's dam is a Guellermo daughter, further solidifying his genetic foundation. Mezzie's first offspring to show, Madigan, just took 1st Place out of 15 at the competitive North American Show! And more recently, another blue at the Empire Show in New York. Mezcal's crias are solid, strong-boned; fleeces are bright, uniform, and fine. <--description-->
