We are retiring, so Tuscan can be purchased with our breeding/show stock. See our package deal. Tuscan Gold has set a new standard of excellence. He is a complete package of perfect conformation, elite fleece characteristics with excellent bundling, brightness, crimp, and uniformity. The brightness of his fleece rivals suri luster. He has total coverage of this fleece from his spectacular head to his toes. And does he have presence! He just knows he is something special. When we check his sheared fleece in at the shows, it invariably gathers admirers and then further inquiry on which animal this fleece belongs to. This fleece has earned multiple championships and every specialty ribbon there is. He has maintained fineness well into his breeding years and is passing on this lasting fineness to his offspring. Tuscan stayed below 20 micron until he was 8 years of age when he was 20.0. And he passes this fineness on. For example, check out the histograms on sons Tuscan's Maestro, Tuscan's Semper Fi, Tuscan's Perfect Storm, all below 20 micron so far at 2 to 3 years of age. And uniformity is also in histogram mix. But a great herdsire is really measured by his offspring, and has Tuscan delivered! He stamps his babies with remarkable consistency for fine, well organized and crimpy fleece with his signature brightness on a beautifully balanced frame with good bone, extremely typey heads, complete leg coverage and his unmistakable presence. These babies have earned several Get of Sire awards for Tuscan Gold and several Breeders Best Three awards for Bella Vita Ranch. Our client list for Tuscan Gold offspring includes prestigious and discriminating farms such as Snowmass Alpacas, AL Pacas, Safe Haven Farm, Red Granite Ranch, Snow Diamond Alpacas and others. Judges have also bred to Tuscan Gold, so he has that stamp of approval from those who should know! Tuscan descends from the award winning MFI Brock line which has produced multiple champion Tuscan siblings. If you are looking to add presence, style, fabulous elite fleece with an incredible hand and extreme brightness, total body coverage, and great heads to your alpacas, Tuscan is your guy. Give us a call to discuss this great male who has proven his prepotency through his offspring. Not only is he improving fleece, but he is fixing conformation issues, hardest of the two to correct. If you like champion huacayas with that teddy bear-look and fabulous bright, fine fleece, that's what he delivers.

Chardonay is the first cria born to Castle Rock Alpacas and has a special place in our hearts. She has "the look" with great conformation to boot. Chardonay's fiber has a low micron with crimpy long fleece. Her sire is Snowmass Gold Crest who was a Reserve Champion at the Santa Fe Show and 1st in fleece and Get of Sire for Snowmass Legacy Gold. Snowmass Goldcrest was also 1st and Champion at the PNAA Show in 2003. Chardonay's service sire for 2009 was Avalon's Peruvian Satin Charlagmagne. Two years in a row, Charlemagne captured First place and Color Champion at the Great Midwest Alpaca Fest. During her comments, Judge Kristin Buhrmann praised Charlemagne's exceptional fiber and striking presence! Charlagmagne's dam Avalon's Peruvian Satin Chardonnay, was named the Produce of Dam at the Great Midwest Alpaca Fest. Winning runs in the family. Chardonay had her first cria on 9/12/2010. She had a beautiful white girl we named Amelia of Charlemagne. She has corkscrew crimp to die for! Chardonay's service sire for 2010 is Sunny Mesas Tuscon Gold from Bella Vita Ranch. He is a multiple blue ribbon winner whose progeny are making their marks in the show ring. We are very excited with this breeding and...we have a handsome boy born 9/8/2011. He has that Tuscan look and feel with blinding brightness. We named him Tuscany Sand.
