Make that 8!! TIME Champion!! Halter & Fleece!! SECOND PLACE GET OF SIRE - California Classic 2012!!! YIPEE!! FIRST CRIA ON THE GROUND and he is a STUNNING Dark Silver Grey with just an absolute PRESENCE about him - oh and crimp, and bone, and bundilng... Catch him at the spring show circuit where Derwydd shows! Well now we can add DENSITY to his list - Tortora's skin biopsy is back and we have upped his stud fee based on the numbers! wow. Density: 50.3 /mm2 ~ Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 10.0 :1 Pretty good for a fawn guy with a GREY sire!! Lineage!! Derwydd Luciano's Totora.. we took our VERY BEST DAM - Inti-Sapa's Sunrise (2x Champion - incredible fleece) and bred her to Peruvian Luciano(Rose Grey).. who has created a number of champions for us. His progeny have collected over 19 Champion awards. We wanted incredible fleece, great density, long staple, and wowee style.. and boy did we get it. Totora has Style.. capital letter style! His has a perfect head, dense thick bone, level topline, well balanced dimensions, correct angulation and teeth exactly where they should be. His fleece exhibits a high frequency, low amplitude crimp, distinct bundling, brightness, density and a soft hand. ALL of which is why he has been awarded 8 Championships/Reserves in both Halter and Fleece - so the judges have seen the entire package and also seen the stand alone fleece qualities and agreed.. this male deserved the championships he won! First crias are on the ground and are looking good!
