RIP 9/11/2019, due to complications from arthritis and pain medication. He was regal to his last day. Breeders describe their Constantino line as their very best...PRODUCERS!!! 15 years ago the judges called him the "future of the industry" and they were right. In 2016 two of his juvie sons, Bonafide (LB) and Travelin' Man (BB), earned 1st FFH in very competitive classes. Tino's show career lasted 5 years and he successfully competed with the best in the country. His fleece stats for fineness and weight from 12+ years ago are on par with today's show winners. Tino's fleece took four years to increase one point for Standard Deviation...on a hig plain of nutrition. Tino's 19m /17 CV super dense cria fleece never collected debris; 9 - 10 crimps per inch in '03 and '04. Shearing Tino's first two fleeces was difficult. They were so dense, fine and slick that his skin got pulled into the blades several times. JUDGE'S 2004 Halter Champion COMMENTS: "FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY", "consistently the finest of his competitors, outstanding fleece character & handle", "extremely fine and dense for his age" (AWE 05, Krieger, 33 mos.), "largest testicles, strength and structure, ability to move out freely, correct proportions and a well-conditioned fleece." Superb phenotype; even temperament; strong libido/early maturation; heavy lactation too! Tino placed in halter and fleece, above award-winning sons of both Accoyo Royal Fawn and Accoyo Legacy...two record high-selling herdsires, Running Late and others.

Twilight is a beautiful Rayo Del Sol daughter (his first female cria). She has a great head and her fleece has wonderful fineness with character. Twilight is a great mother and always has loads of milk. She has easy births and healthy, robust cria. She seems to like her privacy at birthing as she's sneaked out her last two cria (one at a lunch break and the other before chores in the morning). Her first cria was a black male (out of a black sire) with wonderfully soft and beautiful fiber. Her 2006 cria was a lovely brown (with grey) male, Tahoe, sired by our own Salutation. Tahoe has already won 2 blue ribbons in 2007 shows. And in 2007 she gave us a beautiful brown female, Ruby, out of Premier's Rubio.
