Introducing the 2024 AOA National Dark/Mixed Suri Get of Sire Champion! We used the same trio from the 2023 Futurity grouping, but the juvies have all grown up and wowed the judges.
2023 Futurity Mixed/Dark Suri Get of Sire: 3rd Place out of 8 groups! Our group consisted of 3 juvies. Super excited about what Sunny is producing for our 2 farms.
Sunny is now co-owned with Beth and Tim Sheets of Heritage Farm Suri Alpacas in Flora, Indiana!! Offering breedings at either Farm.
We really were not in the market for another white herdsire with both Electrofyre and Tempo but this was too good to pass up. 13 years old and maintaining 23.0 microns!! Wait until you get a look at his skin biopsy results!!
His 2019 EPD's list him in the TOP 1 % in 5 traits!!
Doctor Evans findings:
Belmonte's September Sunshine was biopsied at 20 months of age. One the 15x scan Sunshine shows tight symmetrical fiber clusters in the presence of a folliculitis. The density is 90 follicles of SQ MM of skin with an average S/P from 25 clusters of 11.1 to 1. The presence of triad fiber clusters which in my work is associated major genetic density. September Sunshine shows level 3 or 4 glands with only 30% secondary medullated fibers on the 250x scan. This should equate to nice luster as well as excellent handle.....100 secondary fibers averaged 16.1 microns and 50 primary fibers averaged 22.1 microns for a variation of 6 microns. These stats are in the top 0.5% of suris that I have evaluated.
With these fiber traits we are excited to put him to work on our farm. For a short period we are offering a limited number of introductory outside breedings to Sunny. Please contact me if you would like to make arrangements to take advantage of this opportunity to step up your breeding program.
