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: Gold Mist ARI#
32215922 Light Fawn Gold Mist is a beautiful light fawn girl - tall, straight, with a special presence. Sired by Davinci (Rockstar/Torbio), she will bring awesome genetics to your herd!
Gold Mist has been in the top 1% EPDs every year for four characteristics: AFD, standard deviation, spin fineness and fibers under 30. She is truly a beauty!
Gold Mist was bred to Tikanui for her first cria, who arrived July 4, 2016. Sparkle is a gorgeous little firecracker carrying a ton of fleece. She is covered from the top of her ears to her toes, and is absolutely gorgeous. We bred Gold Mist to Hercules, a Tikanui son, for a 2018 cria, and Perseus is the product: a beautiful white boy.
Description
Sparkle was born at just 9 pounds on the 4th of July. She was so small that she couldn't reach her mom's teats to nurse! We helped her for the first day, and after that she said, "I want to do it myself!". And that is exactly what she did. She grew and grew, and turned into a chunk of a girl! A very very beautiful chunk of a girl!
Sparkle's mom is a the very beautiful Gold Mist, who consistently demonstrates the finest of fiber. Gold Mist is in the top 1% of EPDs for AFD, SD, Spin Fineness, and fibers greater than 30. Gold Mist is a granddaughter of Rockstar, who is well known for his production of outstanding offspring. Tikanui, Sparkle's sire, gives her a solid frame, beautiful fleece, and a great temperament. Sparkle, following her parents, has outstanding EPDs.
