December 2017Surico Burton has to be sire of the month for Surico, with 3 wonderful daughters born lately. We are very pleased with his offspring from matings before he went to Australia. Two males were born earlier in the year Surico Ashby, a lovely dark fawn, out of our black female Surico Tinka and Surico Dalton out of one our best fleeced females Trinkett. The first female cria, Surico Fairlight is out of Surico Killarney, her first cria. The second is out of Surico Jade [dam of Onedin] and we have named her Palmyra. The third is Surico Cala and is Surico Ibiza’s 9th cria. They are all looking stunning.

The Onedin LineWith two progeny winning Supreme Suri at AANZ National Shows in consecutive years, Surico Onedin can now claim captain of the fleet. Son of our flag ship male Parsifal who died in 2015, Onedin has gone on to produce supreme progeny, displaying super density, uniformity of micron from stem to stern and superb lustre. Surico Bolero navigated his way to the top in 2016 winning the coveted title after several Supreme Champion awards at regional shows. It was not such plain sailing for Surico Chaos who entered his first show at the 2017 Alpaca Expo, NZ’s National Show. Previously he had only entered and won Supreme with his junior fleece at Rotorua in 2015.
All of the Onedin progeny at Surico have impressed, a trio of sisters out of Surico Courcheval, Fernie, Kazama and Niseko are truly beautiful females with dense, uniformly fine fleeces. All have won broad ribbons at shows around NZ. Kazama was Intermediate Female Champion Suri at the 2017 National Show and was pulled forward along with Chaos to select the final winner. The other 3 female Onedin progeny at Surico all have superior fleece qualities, with Peone [dark fawn]and Tempest [light fawn] exhibiting colour. We are eager to see Viola’s first cria due in early 2018. Waiting in the wings are 2 weanling boys, Burling [dark fawn] and Dublin [light fawn], we are keenly watching their development. Here at Surico we are excited at the development of this lineage …… The Onedin Line |
