Legacy Herdsire | Casanova Son | Proven Champion Producer JLFA Casanova’s Peruvian Frango was an exceptional herdsire whose influence continues to be seen throughout our breeding program. As one of the top sons of the legendary Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, Frango carried forward a powerful and proven genetic line known for producing champions. Frango was a multiple blue ribbon winner and earned a Color Champion banner at the 2009 Spring Bling show. He was admired for his fine fleece, excellent density, and long staple length, along with a compact frame, strong bone, and overall solid conformation. His impact as a producer has been outstanding. Frango consistently passed on superior quality and vibrant color, producing true blacks, rich deep reds, rose and silver greys, and even unique pattern genetics—seen in notable offspring like Leviticus. His ability to contribute both quality and color diversity made him a valuable asset to any breeding program. Frango’s dam, NESA Shakoka Mint (Medium Rose Grey, Full Peruvian), was a successful show female and a strong foundation dam at Likada Farms. His sire, Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, was a world-renowned champion-producing herdsire and the high seller at the 2002 Celebrity Futurity Auction at $147,000. Casanova’s legacy includes multiple award-winning offspring, including Snowmass Nova, further cementing the strength of this lineage. Though Frango is no longer with us, his legacy lives on through his offspring and the continued success of his bloodlines. He remains an important part of our program’s foundation and history.
