He is incredible. Half brother to our other multi champion herdsire, El Corazon`, Prosecco boasts a very bright dark fawn fleece with black points - a promise of the color to come from this little guy. His fleece shines like a new penny. He has a beautiful head, perfect bite, total coverage clear down to his toes and very uniform, crimpy fleece. This fleece has earned ribbons for Prosecco in the 2 large level V shows he has been in so far in 2009, in spite of being the youngest in his class at both shows. At the Futurity, he placed 5th in his class, and at 2009 GWAS he placed 1st in his class of 9. He is conformationally correct with straight legs, level top line, good bone already evident at his age, and a sweet, quiet personaltiy. He is so fabulous we will retain half interest in this male. FIBER STATS: 4 months - AFD 16.1, SD 4.2, CV 26.3, CF 100%, curve 26 Dg/mm, minimum micron 15.3, maximum micron 18, staple length 45 mm SHOW RECORD: 1st place - 2009 GWAS, out of 9 in the class and the baby of the class - Impressive! 5th place - 2009 Futurity in a large class and youngest in the class |

He is the product of a true black import female and our multichampion sire, Tuscan Gold. Tuscanator has excellent fleece length, uniformity of crimp character and fineness throughout his very, very bright fleece, gift from daddy Tuscan. This fleece also posesses density with a very nice handle to it. Tuscanator has nice straight legs, a good bite, and is a compact little fella, making him teddy bear cute. He has been in the ribbons at the shows, being one of the youngest in his classes. His sire, Tuscan, has 2 black female crias on the ground, so with Tuscantor's dam being a true black, the possibility for dark color production are in his genes.

Buyer's choice of week, dependent on availability; airfare not included; use by 12/31/10. Aloha! Luna is an eye appealing, good sized cria with strong bone and nice proportions. She has straight legs, a good bite, and total body coverage. Her fleece is very fine, bright white, uniformly crimped and bundled with excellent staple length. Dam Susquehanna has a reputation for producing very nice crias, and sire Tuscan Gold has exhibited his strong herd sire genetics with his first cria crop last fall, stamping his crias with excellent conformation, great heads, fabulous, shiny bright fleece, and his great presence. Luna has done very well in the show ring already, in spite of being one of the youngest in her classes. She would be a great addition to any program looking to upgrade or maintain advanced fleece characteristics. She will add density, staple length, brightness and fineness. See her fiber stats below - very impressive! Her dam has been a great producer with abundant milk production to support her crias and strong mothering instincts. We will be looking to put Luna in an auction soon, so here is your chance to grab her up before she is consigned to auction. She comes with a breeding to any Bella VIta Ranch herdsire, including our Peruvian Elite son, LCA Matteo, who has mainteined finness of fleece through his breeding career with a 21.6 micron fleece at 6 years of age, or El Corazon`, our multiple champion medium fawn herd sire. Either would be a nice compliment to Luna.

Tuscan's Diva di Bella Vita Centaur's Darcy x Sunny Mesa Tuscan Gold DOB: 10/19/08 Color/Status: White, Mostly Peruvian ARI: 31229722 Sells with a week at our 2-bedroom Paniolo Greens Hawaii timeshare condo. Buyer's choice of week, dependent on availability; airfare not included; use by 12/31/10. What a little knockout this girl is! And she knows it, too. Attitude and spunk, she epitomizes her namesake. She possesses extremely bright, white fleece organized into crimpy bundles consistent everywhere. That brightness and consistency of fleece are trademarks passed from daddy Tuscan Gold as we had hoped he would do. We are seeing it in all of his crias in his first crop. Mom Darcy has very long staple length, which we already see has passed to Diva. Darcy's fleece has earned a 1st place out of 12 at the 2008 Fall Festival with some stiff competition, 3rd place at the 2009 GWAS, and 2nd place out of 9 at the 2009 AOBA World Fleece Show, sandwiched between CasCadNac and Snowmass. Darcy's fleece has earned a ribbon at every show we have entered it in. Diva has total body fiber coverage, a character passed from both parents. We can't wait to get this little girl to the show ring as she has that extra show-girl presence about her. She will be a superb addition to any breeding program looking for a quality female with elite fleece. She will come with a future breeding to any Bella Vita herdsire, including multiple color champion El Corazon`, who we bred her dam Darcy to for a fall 2009 cria. FIBER STATS: (4 mo) micron 16.9, SD 4.3, CV 25.3, CF 100%, minimum/maximum micron 14.9 and 19.3 SHOW RECORD: 4th out of 12 at 2009 GWAS Co-owned with Mosaic Meadows Alpacas |

SA Tuscan's Asti di Bella Vita SA Accoya Averanda x Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold DOB: 10/9/08 Color/Status: Lt. fawn, full Peruvian, 5/8 Accoyo ARI: 3157792 PRICE: $15,000 - sale pending Another striking Tuscan Gold cria and named after that sweet, light, bubbly Italian champagne, Asti has presence and style wtih upright carriage, level topline, and balanced proportions. Her fleece is buttery soft, bright, crimpy and consistent in style throughout. She possesses the same total coverage as her sire and dam, and she already has the formation of a spectacular head, just like her sire, with generous topknot. Her dam has a calm, even temperament and is easy to work with. Asti is her firt cria, and she had an uneventful delivery and has been a very attentive mom with good milk to support her cria, traits that should pass to Asti. Asti's dam, Averanda, is a SA Peruvian Avenger (Royal Fawn) daughter out of Polar Princess, a Peruvian import who also resides at Bella Vita. Avenger sold at auction for over $400,000 and has sired many show winning alpacas. With all Asti has in her presence, conformation, style and fleece characteristics, she is a defintie future show girl who should do very well. FIBER STATS: (4 mo) micron 15.5, SD 3.9, CV 24.9, CF 100% SHOW RECORD: 4th out of 10 2009 GWAS - 2nd youngest in the class, and what is remarkable is that the youngest in the class was a client's Tuscan cria and took 3rd! Good news for daddy Tuscan Gold! |

SA Tuscan's Trifecta di Bella Vita PPPeruvian Polar Princess x Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold DOB: 9/27/08 Color/Status: Light fawn, full Peruvian, 3/8 Accoyo Jr. Herdsire ARI: 31229845 SOLD!!! He is so very cute! The densest of the Tuscan crias this season, he has bright, high frequency crimpy fleece, uniform all over. Great total body coverage and a very nice head, Trifecta is a definite show quality junior herdsire. And he has that unmistakable presence possessed by his sire, sure to draw the judges' eyes. Good bone, a flat topline, well porportioned in addition to his fabulous fleece, this male will add stellar genetics to any herd. The tricoloring of white, light and medium fawn on Trifecta's head and upper neck is an attention grabber and make him eye candy, but the rest of his body fleece is consistent light fawn. Much is made of the Suri "beard", but I have to say that these Tuscan crias have a very similar "Huacaya beard" with the full coverage we are seeing on their faces. FIBER STATS: (5 mo) micron 16.1, SD 3.85, SD 23.94, CF 100%, staple length 70, minimum/maximum micron 15.4 to 18.2 SHOW RECORD: 4th place out of 12 - 2009 GWAS - one of youngest in the class |
