We are retiring, so Tuscan can be purchased with our breeding/show stock. See our package deal. Tuscan Gold has set a new standard of excellence. He is a complete package of perfect conformation, elite fleece characteristics with excellent bundling, brightness, crimp, and uniformity. The brightness of his fleece rivals suri luster. He has total coverage of this fleece from his spectacular head to his toes. And does he have presence! He just knows he is something special. When we check his sheared fleece in at the shows, it invariably gathers admirers and then further inquiry on which animal this fleece belongs to. This fleece has earned multiple championships and every specialty ribbon there is. He has maintained fineness well into his breeding years and is passing on this lasting fineness to his offspring. Tuscan stayed below 20 micron until he was 8 years of age when he was 20.0. And he passes this fineness on. For example, check out the histograms on sons Tuscan's Maestro, Tuscan's Semper Fi, Tuscan's Perfect Storm, all below 20 micron so far at 2 to 3 years of age. And uniformity is also in histogram mix. But a great herdsire is really measured by his offspring, and has Tuscan delivered! He stamps his babies with remarkable consistency for fine, well organized and crimpy fleece with his signature brightness on a beautifully balanced frame with good bone, extremely typey heads, complete leg coverage and his unmistakable presence. These babies have earned several Get of Sire awards for Tuscan Gold and several Breeders Best Three awards for Bella Vita Ranch. Our client list for Tuscan Gold offspring includes prestigious and discriminating farms such as Snowmass Alpacas, AL Pacas, Safe Haven Farm, Red Granite Ranch, Snow Diamond Alpacas and others. Judges have also bred to Tuscan Gold, so he has that stamp of approval from those who should know! Tuscan descends from the award winning MFI Brock line which has produced multiple champion Tuscan siblings. If you are looking to add presence, style, fabulous elite fleece with an incredible hand and extreme brightness, total body coverage, and great heads to your alpacas, Tuscan is your guy. Give us a call to discuss this great male who has proven his prepotency through his offspring. Not only is he improving fleece, but he is fixing conformation issues, hardest of the two to correct. If you like champion huacayas with that teddy bear-look and fabulous bright, fine fleece, that's what he delivers.

Description

We have long been obsessed with Galliano's sire Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold, so when the opportunity to purchase Galliano arose, we couldn't resist. Galliano is the closest thing to Tuscan's clone, which is great given that Tuscan was still a 20 micron at almost 12 years old when he passed away. Galliano has strong bone, flat topline, stunning upright presence, straight legs, perfect bite, and a gorgeous head. He is just all cuteness wrapped up in an excellent package that sure has heads turning, and judges noticing. Besides his outward phenotype, when his fleece is parted it exceeds his looks. His fleece is extremely bright, super fine, high frequency with bundles inside of bundles, long staple with uniformity in micron. This fleece has a handle where the fleece seems to melt in your hand. His quality is not a surprise. His dam, Nicolette, a Royal Peruvian Apollo daughter out of an import female, has produced a number of stellar cria with Tuscan Gold Galliano hit the show ring in 2014 and the judges noticed! He won five banners in his show career and was still winning, TxOLAN 2017 Color Champion, when we was retired to herdsire row. We expect great things from this guy!
