Tuscano's Massimo passed away peacefully on our farm. Tuscano's Massimo is a True Black with Non-Fading tips. If you have considered bringing true black to your herd, Massimo would be an good start for any farm. Tuscano's Massimo is easy to handle and a desirable size for a male at an average of 150 pounds. Massimo was the type of cria that you hope stays as beautiful as the day he was born, and he did! Long Hollow Suri Alpacas is located in Tennessee, so Massimo needed to be shorn at 9 months due to the heat. We entered his fleece in the '08 Suri Network Fleece Show where he took 2nd place. He was a joy to show and gave us several Blue Ribbons! Massimo's Dam, his Grandsire, his Great-Grandsire are All Black. That's Just on the Dam side! On the Sire side you start with Aureo & Fuego and end at Tuscano of PVA. Great Genetics ,Sturdy Frame, Good Bite, Great straight topline. A word about the health practices at Long Hollow Suri Alpacas… We take the health of our herd seriously. • All alpacas are vaccinated annually, and bred females are vaccinated 30-60 days prior to birth of their cria. • Fecal flotations are performed on EACH individual alpaca monthly and treatment is completed on a per alpaca basis. • All alpacas receive monthly injections as a precaution against meningeal worm. • Bred females receive a minimum of 3 ultrasounds performed onsite by a veterinarian and our veterinary technician. We interact daily with all our animals to ensure any medical needs are addressed as needed and this improves their socialization.

Faith has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Loosing Faith left a hole in our hearts. One of the original alpacas of our farm, she gave us several good cria. Faith's fiber stayed in the top EPD's even as she became an adult. Visitors to our farm were always drawn to our Faith. Her True Black with White accents were eye catching, but her inquisitive sweet personality stole the show.
