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: Fire and Ice ARI#
31571388 Light Fawn Fire and Ice is a superb animal, with correct conformation and beautiful fleece. With fiber density of 69 (through skin biopsy), her fiber stats are excellent. She was classified during our SHIP (Suri Herd Improvement Program) classification in 2017, and scored well above the national Suri herd in all fiber characteristics.
She is in the top 25% EPDs for standard deviation, the top 5% for AFD, spin fineness, staple length and top 1% for fibers greater than 30, the top 5% for percent of fibers medullated. That is something for age 9!
Fire and Ice was biopsied, with density of 69 and 4 of 4 glands.
Fire and Ice's first cria (2018) is a male sired by Tikanui. We are excited about White Ice and looking forward to his development.
Description
White Ice - cool slick handle, with best from his sire Tikanui and dam White Ice. Tikanui, of course, is a Kahuna son, and Fire and Ice is a daughter of Sierra Bonita's Macgyver's Hotazel.
Watch him as he develops - should be a wonderful choice for bringing these excellent genetics to your herd.
