Dam: Liza Jane ARI#
35117858 Medium Fawn Liza Jane has a mountain of potential to be a staple in any discerning Suri foundation herd.
Start with the pedigree, and wow, the genetics represented here! On the top is USA Peruvian Jeremiah (Kalvin & MacGyver), who has great EPD stats across the board, was 2x Judges Choice, and has multiple banners to his credit. On the bottom we find Mont Blanc (Baron & Ramilo), who is consistently ranked in the top 1% for multiple EPD traits, has multiple Judges Choice awards, multiple banners, and multiple Get-of-Sire awards. Mix in a little Old Spice for good measure, and you have a genetic powerhouse to say the least.
Liza doesn't disappoint, as she is growing nicely into her perfect frame. Her fleece is exquisite...ultra-fine (2015 AFD = 16.1), high luster, uniform and consistent (2015 SD = 3.8), and maintaining nice lock structure. Although true density won't be known without a biopsy, she has all the indicators: high luster, long staple, and ultra fine with a wave-to-twist lock style.
She has done well in both halter and fleece shows, and judges have praised her across all the traits mentioned above.
To say we are excited about this girl is an understatement!
Liza delivered a knockout light fawn female cria in 2018, sired by our own Charley Waite...perfect, solid frame and outstanding coverage of fine, lustrous, wave-to-twist fleece. Rocky Mountain High, or 'Fern' as we call her, has won 4 banners in her ongoing show career, including Reserve Championships at both the 2022 Suri Network and PAOBA fleece shows, exhibiting the fleece from her FOURTH shearing. That is longevity of quality, and an example of what we strive for.
Liza did it again in 2020, delivering another high-caliber cria, sired by our 3x banner winner, Ring of Fire. We had a good feeling about this pairing based on the data for sire and dam, and Vontae Mack, a medium fawn male, has confirmed that. Vontae has accumulated 5 banners to date in halter and fleece shows, exhibiting advanced fleece characteristics on a solid frame with a great personality.
Liza sells with a complimentary breeding to any Whistling Pines Ranch herdsire, if the buyer so chooses. Based on her 2018 cria, a repeat breeding to Charley Waite is a solid choice. Based on biopsy and EPD stats, Ring of Fire, Big Bad John, or Bold Ruler would be stellar match as well.
Description
EXTREME DENSITY!!!
Some of the best, proven, prepotent genetics in the United States come together in the making of this absolutely phenomenal male.
Vontae's sire is our own Whistling Pines Ring of Fire, a 2-time banner winner with top 3% EPD's in 3 traits and top 6% in one other, and his 4 offspring to date have earned 11 banners, 15 blues, and 8 "best" awards. His dam is our stud female, Liza Jane, who is top 10% EPS's for 2 traits, and top 13% in 4 other, and her 3 offspring to date have earned 11 banners, 23 blue ribbons and 6 "best" awards. Vontae himself accounts for 7 banners, 11 blue ribbons, and 5 "best" awards. We have entered his shorn fleeces in several shows where he has received 4 AOA Advanced Fleece awards (scores of 80, 84, 84.5, & 84.5).
On the sire's side of the pedigree we have the paternal grandsire in Crown Prince (Accoyo Crown Royale), a 5-time banner winner with 15 get-of-sire wins to his credit. On the dam's side we find the maternal grandsire in Peruvian Jeremiah (Accoyo Kalvin), with 2 Judge's Choice awards, 5 banners, and 2 get-of-sire wins; combined with Liza Jane's maternal great-grandsire Accoyo Lafite's Mont Blanc, who adds 3 Judge's Choice awards, 7 banners, 7 get-of-sire wins, and still ranks top 1% EPD's in 2 traits plus top 3% in 4 others.
Most importantly is the scientific data that validates Vontae's value. His 2023 biopsy data at 34 months of age exceeded our expectations in a big way. He currently sits as the SECOND DENSEST MALE ALPACA (Suri OR huacaya!) ever tested by Alpaca Consulting USA.
Density = 98.9 follicles per sq mm
Secondary to primary ratio = 11.0 : 1
Primary MFD = 19.2, SD = 3.3. Secondary MFD = 15.5, SD = 2.8.
3.7 micron difference between primaries and secondaries
Vontae has consistently sheared fine fleece (AFD = 17.5, 18.3, and 20.7) over 3 shearings to date, with long staple length.
In 2023, Vontae was awarded the inaugural Triple Crown award from the Suri Network, representing the highest combined score of AOA's IFA show, the Suri Network fleece show, and the Suri Network spin off.
Vontae's first cria have hit the ground in 2023 and they look great. All are exhibiting heavy, lustrous, fine fleeces with great handle and uniformity, and layers of the coveted wave-to-twist lock style, on rock solid frames.
Look for them at the 2024 shows!
Vontae is proudly co-owned with Heart & Soul Alpacas!
