Description
Kuska Paku's Multi Blue Ribbon winner, Rocket is just an all around Great Dude. His cria have presented very consistent and dense fiber. Rocket consistently lightens the dam by a shade and throws lighter patterns from patterned females!
He is the son of the infamous Acero Marka's Rockamundo, Rockamundo is one of Canada's top producing macho males and is a direct import from Bolivia, at 18 months his fleece scored 13.6 microns, the finest fiber ever screened under ARI rules! At that time he sheared 14.5 lbs of fiber and was re-tested on March 2002, still 20 microns! has coverage from his nose to his toes staple length and re-growth like no other.
Rocket is sure to offer you the finest fleece around, as he is still showing off his daddy's genes when shown at Alpacas in the Ozarks at 6 1/2 years old, he took 2nd place out of 12 whites (in a 2 yr old class), and the judges comments were that his fleece was better than the 2 year olds!
Rocket's babies have played a major part in building our farm the superb quality, not just in fiber but conformationally as well. We knew it was going to be good, we just didn't know it was going to be this good. See Panic at the Disco & SHAGAMUNDO for a sample of these fantastic arrivals from Rocket. It is definitely something to add to your program. Plus ability to throw whites as well as colors. Just outstanding cria.
His son CBGB hit the ring last year and returned with several ribbons all in top 3 of his classes, prior to his sale this fall, including a breeders best 3 win in 2 shows!
We cannot wait to show Shagamundo this season! We got a true bonus to our herd with Rocket's 2010 female 'PANIC at the DISCO'. Panic is just what we ordered from Rocket and so true to his quality that we have retained her in our foundation herd.
Rocket is no longer offered for outside breedings.
He is now serving as a Kuska Reserved herdsire.
Rocket's son Shag just took a very nice 2nd place win in Halter at the 2010 Deep South Show!
His son CBGB took 2nd the year before and helped get us a nice win in breeders best as well!
LISTING IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY - Rocket passed away at age 15
