Honey Maple's Finest Locke

Sammy has top 1% EPDs in 4 categories THREE YEARS IN A ROW!!...AND his density is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING--76.8 follicles/mm!! He is exhibiting elite fleece---corkscrew locks and blinding luster--at 3 years old!! He just keeps getting nicer and nicer over time. Sammy has performed his first breedings...AND he is now PROVEN!!! ___________________________________________ Sammy was an excellent addition to our herdsire row and HE IS AWESOME! Dense, fine, lustrous fleece that is eye-catching and beautiful to touch. Sammy's sire, Belmonte's September Sun Shine, recorded a stunning density on his biopsy!! Check out Doctor Evans' findings: Belmonte's September Sunshine was biopsied at 20 months of age. The density is 90 follicles per SQ MM of skin with an average S/P from 25 clusters of 11.1 to 1. The presence of triad fiber clusters which in my work is associated major genetic density. 100 secondary fibers averaged 16.1 microns and 50 primary fibers averaged 22.1 microns for a variation of 6 microns. These stats are in the top 0.5% of suris that I have evaluated. Sammy's dam, BBFAI Mountain Mist, is the full sister to 2017 AOA National White Champion male, BBFAI Mont Alejandro. Alejandro sired the 2020 Suri Light Female and AOA National Supreme Champion!!! The genetics this male is carrying are extremely promising! We are so excited to get him proven in 2021, as he still has some growing to do, but we can't wait to see what he will produce for us! We have several outstanding females to pair with him...stay tuned!!! Sammy was biopsied on August 1, 2020 and we are anxiously awaiting his results.... **UPDATE** Biopsy results are back!! Wow!! Are we pleased!! DENSITY: 76.8 follicles/ SQ MM S/P RATIO: 11.4:1 Avg. Secondary Fibers: 16.8 microns/ SD : 1.9 Avg. Primary Fibers: 19.8 microns/ SD: 2.2 Micron Variation (SPREAD): 3.0 microns!! Evaluation per Ian Watt: These are very good numbers for a suri male! The density is not only high but the fiber populations are remarkable uniform and fine brought about by the high density and better-than-average S/P ratio. This male can be used with confidence on a wide range of quality females.... _____________________________________________ Sammy's regrowth and luster this year still look amazing as a 2+ year old!! Check out his October 2020 pictures...And now his March 2021 pictures!! We can't say enough about this wonderful boy! We have very high hopes for him! MARCH 2021.....MORE GOOD NEWS.... Sammy has TOP 1% EPD's again in 4 categories and TOP 2% EPD in a 5th!!! **JULY 2022** Sammy's first 2 crias are both males and what beautiful boys they are!! Folds and folds of skin (= density!), terrific coverage, lock style and conformation. He is off to a great start!!
