UPDATE: Skin biopsy results are back on Solstice and we are quite pleased with what they show. He has good density, at 48.0 follicles/sq mm, but the real story on Solstice continues to be his fineness and handle. He has a S/P ratio of 9.6 to 1, a micron differential between secondaries and primaries of 6.4, and an average micron count at 6 years of age of 25.0 - all of these traits are superior and he does appear to be passing these on to his offspring, along with great luster.

Solstice is an outstanding combination of 2 outstanding parents--6P Accoyo Crown Royale (multi-award winning full accoyo import who is unrelated to any other accoyo lines in the U.S.) and 6P Nastaza, mother of Arizona Sage and SBS Buckeye (Arizona Sage was undefeated in the 2002/2003 show season with 7 Championships and SBS Buckeye took 8 1st place ribbons in the 2003/2004 show season!). Crown Royale's breedings are limited to only ten per year and only existing customers can purchase breedings. That makes Solstice's genetics even more special!

To top it all off, Solstice's dam is dark fawn, and those color genetics are coming through - just look at his offspring: four out of his seven offspring have been colored, and he has even produced color from white! This confirms our belief that there is all kinds of color opportunity with this guy.

We are offering Solstice for sale only because we have used him a lot and are ready to add another white herdsire to our breeding program. We cannot say enough good things about this guy and what he has done for our breeding program, so join us in ownership and put him to work at your farm!

  Awards Received
Due to owner conflict, Solstice never got to show in a halter class - and what a shame, because the first time his fleece was entered in a fleece show - the largest suri fleece show in the country - he got a blue ribbon!

1st place (out of 10 entries) - 2006 Suri Network, All Suri Fleece Show.
