Fleece (3rd):  20.70µ  SD 4.40  CV 21.30%  CF 97%
(taken on 1st November 2009 at 3 Years and 8 Months of age)


Quo Vadis is truly a unique male; his dam, Surilana Macusani Ma Belle is unquestionably one of the top females in Australia, having produced two National Champions and a string of Champions - including the incomparable Surilana Piccolo (deceased). Quo Vadis' sire, Surilana Il Papa, was imported from Peru as an old but very highly prized macho, who sadly lived only long enough in Australia to sire four progeny - of which Quo Vadis is the only male.

Quo Vadis was Supreme Champion Suri at both the Melbourne Royal and Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show in 2007. In 2008 his fleece won top honours at the Interntional Fleece Challenge in Sydney and in 2009 was awarded Supreme Champion Suri Fleece at the Canberra Royal Show.

Quo Vadis not only has a dense and beautifully silky fleece, but has shown extraordinary consistency having increased in fibre diameter by just one micron between his first and third fleeces. As a working male of four years old he is still 20.7 micron, with SD 4.4, CV 21.3 and CF 97%. Quo Vadis appears to be passing on his exceptional fleece qualities to his progeny.

Quo Vadis is owned in partnership with Surilana and Elimbari. He is not available for outside stud duties, but selected females from our sales list are offered with a mating to him.

Prizes Won:
Supreme Champion Suri - Melbourne Royal 2007
Supreme Champion Suri - Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show 2007
Champion Suri fleece 18-24 months - International Fleece Challenge 2008
Supreme Champion Suri fleece - Canberra Royal Show 2009

Knight has impressed us since he was a very young cria - displaying a beautifully locked, dense fleece from day one. He has grown into a young male with terrific bone and conformation, who matured early and is now working.

Knight has a classic combination of genetics, being sired by Pucara Allegro, out of a particularly fine-fleeced, large-framed dam, who was line-bred from Senator bloodlines.

With a skirted fleece weight of 3.2kg at his first shearing, combined with excellent fleece statistics, lustre and character, we are very much looking forward to Knight's first progeny.

Charles Ledger 2008; Junior Male, White 2nd
Goulburn 2009; Intermediate Male, White 1st
Camden 2009; Intermediate Male, White 1st and Champion
Charles Ledger 2009; Adult Male, White 2nd

Thunderbolt is a young male with an outstanding fleece - from a young age it was obvious that he was going to be special, with an extraordinarily greasy, lustrous fleece which grows in fat, flat locks which open like the leaves of a book.

Thunderbolt performed well in the showring - being sashed the Supreme Champion Suri on his first outing as a junior. He was placed third in a very tough class as an Intermediate at the Sydney Royal in 2009. His fleece has been shown twice - on both occasions taking out Supreme Fleece - at the Canberra Royal and Crookwell Fleece shows in 2010.

We believe Thunderbolt has a great future as a stud male and having recently been certified he will commence duties in Spring 2010.
