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.

What a great producer this gal has been! She is of Australian/Chilean lineage, and she has produced multiple blue ribbon and color champion crias for us, many of whom remain here at Bella Vita for their genetic excellence. They have been a big part of our foundation herd. Cocoa Puffe has produced several silky style huacayas for us - Black Silk, Prosecco, and Perfect Storm, to name a few. We look so forward to her babies every year because they are so very stellar. We paid $16,000 for Chocolat when we first started in alpacas and have kept almost every one of her crias in our herd as foundation stock, and have sold her grandbabies and 1/2 interest in Prosecco and Corazon for sales of approximately $90,000 back to the ranch, so I think she has more than paid for herself. We have not seen Cocoa Puffe's pedigree in any other alpacas in the US (there may be a few, but they would be very rare), and Cocoa Puffe was a maiden when she came to us, pregnant with her first cria (Chocolat). She would be one we would have considered harvesting eggs from for IVF were it readily available and at a younger age for her. Cocoa Puffe produces crias who exhibit strong bone, complete fleece coverage that is dense, crimpy and fine. She had produced several black cria. Cocoa Puffe herself is light brown with black points and covered head to toes in dense fleece. She has a very laid back personality and is easy to handle. She is currently bred to Semper Fi for a June 2016 cria. Although she is an older female, she is still very healthy and reproductively sound.
