Suri, Female, Unproven | White
ARI# 35426219, D.O.B. 9/1/2019,
Sire: Tikanui (Pucara Puresuri Tikanui) ARI#
32079616 White Tikanui, sired by the one and only Pucara Kahuna, has simply stunning fiber - white, lustrous, dense, with outstanding lock structure. And fine! At first shearing...20.9 micron!!
Tikanui exemplifies the Suri phenotype. Indeed, Tikanui was even bestowed the special "best head" award by Don Julio Barreda's daughter Elena at the 2012 Futurity Show! He went on to win Reserve Color Champion at the 2012 Futurity. And, at over two years of age and 10 months of fleece growth since shearing, Tikanui won Color Champion at The 2013 Futurity, competing against other first rate, full-fleeced whites. His progeny have represented him in Get of Sire competitions and consistently strong representatives of their sire.
Tikanui is consistently in the top 1% of EPDs. He was classified during out 2017 SHIP classification and received top scores for conformation traits, and amazingly high scores for all fleece characteristics.
Not only is Tikanui spectacular to look at, he is a gentle guy, always easy to work with and a joy to be around! His progeny are doing fabulous things in the show ring and with their own offspring. Tikanui was the 2015 and 2017 Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year, and is the 2018 Herdsire of the Year. Tikanui's Zen of Harmony won Judge's Choice at the 2017 MOPACA show and at the 2017 Futurity and his daughter Venus won Supreme Light Championship at the 2018 National Show. Many championship offspring with super fleece statistics. Wow!
Dam: Dixie (Puddle's Dixie) ARI#
30030696 Beige, Light Fawn Dixie - a 5X champion during just one show season!! She has excellent conformation, a great Suri head, and wonderful fleece with independent lock, luster and density. She carries herself proudly and caught the judge's eye each time as she first walked into the ring. She is a Diamond River, son of Accoyo Ace, daughter.
Her offspring includes multiple champions, including Zen of Harmony - the 2017 Futurity Judge's Choice winner. Zen and Venus, Dixie's 2016 cria, took first place in Produce of Dam at the Futurity in 2017. Dixie's 2017 cria, Jupiter, is just as outstanding as her siblings, and we look forward to her show ring experience! Saturn, 2018, follows along in the mold, and in 2019, Kalee - another wonderful girl - made her appearance.
Dixie is simply an outstanding producer, always producing quality. She is easy to keep and a delight to have in the herd!
Description
Tikanui and Dixie have done it again! Kalee - full sister to Zen, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn - is a beauty!
We love the combination of Tikanui and Dixie. We can count on great bone, excellent conformation, and amazing luster in their offspring. And all their offspring have highly aligned fleece. Kalee is no exception. She is well developed with outstanding bone and conformation and is elegant in appearance. Her fiber is lustrous with great locking and coverage. Kalee is exactly what you want as a star producer in your breeding program.
Kalee’s sire, Tikanui, was first shown as a yearling. He then took Reserve Champion at the 2012 Futurity, Champion at the 2012 CABA Classic, and as a previously shorn two-year-old, he was awarded Champion at the 2013 Futurity. He has won a dozen Get of Sire competitions and has been Futurity Herdsire of the Year multiple years.
Kalee has been recognized for her spectacular fleece and conformation in the showring. Kalee was awarded 2021 Supreme Championship at the AOA National Alpaca Show. Then, she was selected as Judges Choice at the prestigious Futurity Show in 2021.
Kalee was proudly co-owned with Karen Epperson, MD, and consigned to the 2021 Futurity Auction.
Congratulations to Bob and Lisa at Memory M-Acres on their purchase of Kalee at The Futurity Auction 2021!
