Previously Shorn Futurity Champion!
Astor of Harmony
Suri, Herdsire (Male), Proven | White
ARI# 35082316, D.O.B. 6/9/2016,
Sire: Andretti (Pines Edge Accoyo Andretti) ARI#
32215977 White Wow! Beautiful white, full Accoyo boy! Andretti has presence, style, and is a super-gentle personality. His fleece has superb lock structure, with clearly defined locks to the skin. He has fabulous density, great fiber stats, and a beautiful temperament.
Andretti is maintaining excellent fleece characteristics, and he is in the top 1% EPDs in 2018 for Standard Deviation, fibers lower than 30, Staple Length and Fleece Weight, and the top 5% in the country for Spin Fineness, % medullated fibers.
His SHIP (Suri Herd Improvement Program) scores were the highest possible in conformation, and higher than the national Suri herd in all fleece characteristics.
Andretti's offspring are lovely.
We regret that Andretti passed away during surgery in August 2021. He was a beautiful, gentle boy, and we miss him greatly.
Dam: Makani (Pucara Sur-Real Kahuna's Makani) ARI#
31595209 White Makani is a multiple champion and 5/8 Accoyo daughter of Puacara Kahuna. She has solid conformation with good balance and strong bone and her fleece has outstanding luster with regrowth thick with heavy penciling. Makani has an outstanding pedigree including Bruxo, Accoyo Gold, a bit of Macgyver and she is sired by the famous mulitiple Herd Sire of the Year Pucara Kahuna.
The icing on the cake - Makani is loving and gentle. She is easy to work with and a joy to be around. Makani is a high end girl perfect for a quaility Suri program looking for strong genetics that can produce color when bred to color.
Makani remains in the top 10% EPDs in 2019 for for Average Fiber Diameter, Standard Deviation, Spin Fineness, and fibers greater than 30. Not bad for 12 years old!
Makani's cria in 2015 was a beautiful girl sired by Mont Blanc. She was 20 lbs at birth, and is a lovely champagne color. Asti is super-friendly and just gorgeous. Makani's 2016 cria is a boy, Astor, sired by Andretti. Very, very nice. In 2017, Dorothy arrived, sired by Torpedo. Love her look plus she is super sweet. Makani was bred back to Torpedo again for a 2018 cria: Aladdin. 2019? Satori is the result - a friendly and beautiful boy.
Description
Astor - son of Makani and Andretti, grandson of Our Accoyo Pulitzer and Pucara Kahuna. Genetics genetics, genetics!
What can we say about Astor? He is well-built, with great conformation. His fiber is beautifully fine and uniform. Great density, and luscious handle. His EPDs for 2022 are in the top 1% or 5% for nearly every trait.
Great conformation, great fiber, and on top of it all, Astor is super friendly and easy to work with!
We sheared Astor in 2017, and then he joined our show string. He ended his outstanding show career with a Championship at the 2018 Futurity, as a previously shorn boy! Oodles of fleece, outstanding fineness, and excellent regrowth!
