Congratulations to Doug and Denise Caldwell of AL Paca's Farm and Donna and Guerry Higgason of Clearview Farm on the purchase of this stunning Tuscan Gold female!
Toscana is 1 of 7 stunning Tuscan Gold crias, his first cria crop born at Bella Vita Ranch, in the fall of 2008. As she developed, she rose to the top of the class of these exquisite Tuscan crias. Her fleece is so very bright, and is organized into distinct bundles of crimpy fingers of fleece, uniform not just through the blanket but into her neck, even the front of her neck, her legs and top knot. This fleece is fine, 16.4 micron at 5 months of age, with a great handle. Matching this perfect fleece is flawless conformation. She is a mirror image of her sire in all ways - fleece, conformation including fabulous head, and that incredible confident and commanding presence that Tuscan has passed to his daughter. Upright with a bright attitude, Toscana shows off her level topline and other attributes, including that extra special "look at me" quality that makes such a great first impression for potential clients and show ring judges. She will elevate any breeding program as she carries a long history of champion genetics in her DNA that have proven themselves time and again in the show ring and in breeding programs around the country. This was our very best offered for sale.
