6Peruvian Sunburst 6431
Sunburst is an excellent example of the fine genetics from the final Peruvian importation of 1998. She is a wonderful proven mom with dense fiber and still excellent conformation. Her 2002 cria, Starburst, is also in our herd and is an example of the ribbon quality offspring that Sunburst produces. Her 2003 cria, Orion (sold), was out of nationally award winning Legacy’s Lustroso. Riana (sold), Sunburst’s 2004 cria out of Snowmass Cangalli Gold, has wonderful beige fiber and is also ribbon quality, taking blue at the 2005 MAPACA Jubilee. Sunburst gave us Warrick (sold), a white male out of Snowmass Prodigy in 2005 and was then re-bred to Snowmass Incaaccoyo Star producing Estrello in 2006, another wonderful I-Star combination. For 2007, Sunburst was bred to El Numero Uno, which proved to be a great combination giving us Leilah and showing Sunburst is capable of producing darker colored offspring. For 2008 Sunburst was bred to Simba, giving us Tau, a fine white male and this year she gave us a brown male out of Quentin, her darkest color produced yet.
You almost can’t beat the reproductive and health aspects of the import females, like Sunburst. On our farm, they tend to be robust, have textbook births, deliver strong, healthy cria, and are amazing mothers in terms of milk production, cria care, etc. And Sunburst has held up so well that you almost can’t tell the difference in her 2003 pictures from her recent pictures!
Sunburst is currently bred for a 2012 cria (back to some of those I-Star genetics) and is offered with a additional breeding to any of MVF’s wholly-owned herdsires. She also sells with $150 credit toward fiber processing at the Vermont Fiber Mill & Studio.
