Handsome Devil
Handsome Devil (1/2 Accoyo) has a well-locked, lustrous dense fleece on a perfectly conformed and balanced frame.
His dam, Sal, is one of Tillman's best producing Bolivians.
Handsome Devil's maternal line is impressive as Sal has been amazing no matter who she is bred to and a couple of her outstanding get include Tillman's The Big Kahuna and Luster Supreme.
His sire, Pperuvian Miguel, is an outstanding herdsire who has built the foundation of Super Suris award winning herd.
He has sired all suri offspring and many are show winners.
He has excellent luster and he still locks to the skin.
Miguel was 1st Place Get of Sire at the '01 AOBA National Show.
Handsome Devil is 23.6 micron with a Mean Scale Frequency of 5.8 scales/100 microns on his virgin fleece and 4.9 scales/100 microns on his second fleece, one of the best of the Tillman's Electron Microscopy study!
This is an amazingly bright fleece.
Peruvian whites average 7.5 scales/100 microns.
The lower the number the brighter the fleece.
Handsome Devil is a highly evolved white suri and offers luster, density, locks and conformation.
He produced 4.5 lb skirted blankets on his 2nd and 3rd fleeces and in 06 3.5 lbs of leg wool.
Now that is pretty extreme!

Hunter Hill Dimaggio
Dimaggio has an extremely bright, fine fleece. He's Accoyo on his sire's side (The Last Don), and Hemingway/Bueno on his dam's side.
His dam has 20 AFD / 21 CV fleece at 4 years old, 10 crimps per inch and has one of the densest fleeces we've ever seen.
Dimaggio's confirmation is perfect, and he is the friendliest cria we've had on our farm. He has ultra-fine fleece, crimp (AT LEAST 10 per inch) from the skin to the tips and....as if that's not enough...just look at the head on this boy!
In his first show he placed 4th in one of the most competitive white juvenile classes ever! The 2007 NAAS had 5 juvenile classes of 14-15 animals in each class. The class Dimaggio was in included most of the top farms in the country!
Judge Amanda VandenBosch described him as having "very fine fleece" with "very organized fleece character and long staple length".
At MAPACA, the judge said that Dimaggio was "definitely the finest fleece in the class".
This junior stud is only going to get BETTER and BETTER as he ages.
