The Khantender Optimo is loaded with crimp from head to toe. He has crimp between his ears, on his tail, neck, and even down to his knees on all legs, where the quality of the fleece only then begins to wane. He has a bright and shiny fleece that will light a twinkle in your eye. He has a superb balance of fineness and density. He is a cross between the lines of Caligula and Shere Khan. Great sires in his background such as: Caligula, Vengador, Oro, El Senor, Allin Capac, and The Aga Khan. His dam is a half sibling to Simba of A.L.Pacas. The Aga Khan, a White Halter 11-Time Color Champion, represents the concentrated genetics of the truly legendary Shere Khan through two American male offspring - Vengador and Allin Capac 6004. Some comments about Khantender attributed to Jude Anderson, Judge at PAOBA 2006..."excellent package of fineness and correctness coupled with conformation"...."well covered"..."dense from head to toe".. Khantender has a medium brown spot on the left side of his blanket, just under 3 inches in diameter, which we refer to as his little 'humble spot'. Although keeping him from winning higher achievments in the showring in a white class, his colored class, he has been throwing color the majority of the time. As of July 2010, he has thrown (1) Light Fawn cria, (4) Med/Dark Fawn crias, (1) Medium Brown cria, (1) Dark Brown cria, (3) White crias, and (2) Brown/White Multicolored crias. We are looking for special 1/2 interest partners to share this male. Khantender's crias are beginning to take ribbons in the shows. See offspring ribbons below.

Venetia is a medium-fine fleeced animal, who is mild tempered and very easy to work with. Venetia, being sired by Snowmass Alpine Gold, is the grand-daughter of notables 5Peruvian Chaccu 9063 (now deceased and formerly of Crescent Moon Ranch) and Snowmass Peruvian Fawn Angel and a great grandaughter of Don Julio G159 who was exported to Australia. She has exhibited good birthing and mothering tendencies. Venetia's first cria was on May 30 2006, to Simba of A.L.Pacas whom we named Simba's Princess Kiara. In 2007 her solid MB cria (to Austin) expired in the pasture due to unidentified causes. She had a very nice male cria born November 3 2008, to Augusto's Austin, which we named Austin's Wimbledon (see pictured), which was subsequently sold as a pet although his fleece was very nice. Venetia aborted a Khantender cria in 2009, when in that season to some unidentified cause we had a few abortions in the herd over a short period of time. Lastly, she gave birth to a beatiful and healthy female cria darker than herself (Basanti) by to The Khantender Optimo on July 20, 2010. She hasn't been bred since 2010 because we can't handle many more animals, but we are considering breeding her to LA Sparticus because we feel that it will be a wonderful match. Lease Venetia for $900.00 which includes a breeding to any of our herdsire selections.
