UPDATE: Fleece regrowth was fantastic and entered it into the GWAS and AOBA National show in 2013 - amazing results. He's bred several of our females, and can't wait until his cria hit the ground in early 2014. Results from Casper's skin biopsy done in early 2013 indicated a Density score (59.5 follicles), S/P of 14.2 to 1, high gland presence (Level 4) and fineness (19.8 microns), Micron Variation of 15.5 microns The "gland presence" is related to the sebaceous gland. These glands appear to provide a nutrition pathway to the fiber follicle which in turn is responsible for luster. This is a highly genetic and seems to be a strong male trait. The glands are based on a 4 levels with 4 indicating a high % of glands in the fiber clusters. Casper is a direct Kahuna son and the luster this male exhibits is truly amazing. His stature is very impressive as well - excellent presence. During his 2011 and 2012 show career, a judge commented on how excited and pleased she was to see the caliber of this type of suri male back in the show ring. There was consensus that the amount of luster and the extreme density was what put him at the top of his class. Casper’s sire, Kahuna, was the Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and many of his other offspring have excelled in the show ring as well. Casper’s dam, LCA Elana, took Championship at the 2009 Florida show in addition to a few other Championships. Casper excelled in the 2011 and 2012 show rings with 14 Blues and Reds, 3 Championships and 5 Reserve Championships. He also received Judges’ Choice at the 2012 Carolina Alpaca Celebration show. With his show career wrapped up with stunning results, he’s ready to begin his Herdsire career.

Description

Four time banner winner MMALP Micah is an outstanding grandson of the great herdsire Pucara Kahuna. Micah's sire's dam LCA Elana comes from great genetics and also has quite the show record herself winning 4 banners and placing first at The Futurity. Elana was sired by Grand Marnier, a MacGyver son, and a two time banner winner. Putting Kahuna and Elana together produced Kahuna's Casper, Micah's sire. Casper won a total of 10 banners in his show career, a Judge's Choice, and a first place at the AOBA National Fleece Show. The bottom half of Micah's pedigree is solid. His dam Synergy's Duchess is a Sierra Bonita's MacGyver's Synergy daughter and while she was never shown herself, her sire Synergy has produced a multitude of champions for Wilkins Ranch and Great Lakes Ranch. Micah has great genetics and they are Full Peruvian. Dr. Norm Evans Skin Biopsy Report: MMALP Micah was biopsied as a 50 month old light fawn Suri male. His ARI# is 32546620. His 15X scan shows fiber clusters that are uniform in shape and placement within his connective tissue. His density is 40.5 follicles SQ MM of skin and his S/P ratio from 20 typical fiber clusters averages 9.3 to 1. He grades level 4 of 4 gland structure. 100% of his secondary fibers show medullation. Eighty secondary fibers averaged 22.1 microns while 40 primary fibers averaged 35.5 microns. This equates to a micron variation of 13.4 microns. These fiber stats figure an AFD of 23.52 microns. Histogram Results: A random sample of fleece from Micah's side was taken on 9/19/17, just after Micah had turned 4 years old. The histogram came back with an AFD of 26.3 microns. Eight months later a larger sample was sent in so that Micah could be part of the 2018 EPDs. This histogram came back with a 28.6 micron AFD. Micah's EPD results can be seen by clicking on the EPDs link. The things most outstanding about Micah's fleece are its great luster, its outstanding lock structure, its consistent lock style across the body, and its very good staple. He has a lot of fleece and that may seem puzzling considering his density, but not so much when one considers the fact he is a large Suri male. He brings an outstanding conformation, great size with a very good substance of bone, and beautiful fleece coverage on his legs and his head to the genetics he will pass along to his offspring. We just love that size, that coverage, and his outstanding Suri head style. He just flat out carries himself and stands like a champion everywhere he goes. We will breed him to females that have fleeces with density and fineness that need to improve on their body size, lock structure, and luster.
