True Black Full Peruvian Conan Daughter!
Peruvian Melody
Alpaca, Huacaya, Open (Female) | True Black
AOA #31145589 | DOB: 6/12/2008 (16 yrs)
Sire: 6Peruvian Conan
31145589<--ari-->Dark Fawn<--color-->There's not much to say about Conan because his offspring say it all. He is well known for siring crias with bright fleeces with well defined consistent crimp and a buttery handle.
We have not listed Conan's offspring wins because there are just too many. Conan is the sire of many Champions and well known Champion producing Herdsires including Lancaster and Lord Stanley, among others. In addition to his well known fawn and brown offspring, he has also sired several well known blacks including Kodiak and Black Ice. Many of his cria sell before we have a chance to show them off in the show ring. The photos shown on his webpage are but a small sampling of his offspring.
******Update: Conan has been sold to Elite Alpaca Ranch in Piedmont, OK. Congratulations and Thank You to Bob and Sheri Deiley!

Service Sire: HRF Peruvian Silver Bullet
31145589<--ari-->Light Silver Grey<--color-->Silver Bullet is stunning. Perhaps the color most desired by alpaca breeders, Silver can produce any and every color alpaca. When bred to solid black dams, he should produce only black and silver grey cria.
And color isn't all he has to offer! Coming from full Peruvian descent, his fleece is exceptionally soft and crimpy - even his tail is crimpy! Bullet has good density and nice coverage. Bullet has very little white on his legs and an almost solid silver grey blanket, something that judges like to see!
Bullet's sire has multiple ribbons, Bullet has multiple ribbons, as does his full sister. He is destined to produce ribbon winners himself.
We are delighted to add Peruvain Silver Bullet to our herd sire line up. He is fully owned and will reside here at Ideuma Creek all year long.
Spring 2009 Update - Bullet's first two cria are here - a dense, crimpy true black solid male here at Ideuma Creek, and a gorgeous silver grey full Peruvian girl at Heather-Rayne Farm. We're both delighted with these first Silver Bullet offspring!
Summer 2010 Update - More Bullet cria have arrived! Silver Grey Silver Bella sold before she was weaned. True black females Eclipse and Abbey Dubbel are gorgeous. Gentle Breeze Alpacas had silver grey Annie, a beautiful girl, and Bambi gave us a dense, fawn fiber-blocked boy who is fabulous. We are very pleased with Bullet's performance and look forward to his 2011 cria crop.<--description-->
Description
Melody has just about everything going for her. She is a full Peruvian true black female from outstanding lineage. She is the full sister to 2X true black champion Kodiak and the paternal sister to 6X fawn champion Lancaster.
Mel's bright black fleece is shiny and slick. Her conformation is excellent,and her bite is right on.
Mel is one of only a very few full Peruvain true black girls out of Conan. We happen to own two of them. We are willing to part with either Mel or Raven, but not both. This line is one we definitely want to keep in our own breeding program.
We just got her first histogram back. We weren't surprised. With the way she feels and her background genetics, you'd expect such fine, uniform fiber, even on a true black! Her 2009 historgram reads micron - 20.8, SD 4.1 and CV 19.6 - these are numbers to be proud of on a white alpaca and Melody is black!! Even better than this - Melody is keeping her fine, uniform fleece as she matures. We were thrilled when we received her latest Yocom-McColl results. Mel's 2010 micron results are AFD 21.5, SD 4.1, CV 19.1 and %>30 2.2.
We have bred Melody to our blue ribbon silver grey herdsire - Peruvian Silver Bullet. These two should produce a black or silver grey cria with great soft fleece next summer.
Mel is one gorgeous girl and she should have gorgeous cria.
UPDATE - and she has! Check out her very first cria, Ideuma Creek's Peruvian Clarice. We couldn't be happier. She's just beautiful!
Melody is one of our girls that had a positive first ultrasound, and then slipped her pregnancy. Her second ultrasound came up empty. We reluctantly left Mel open, but plan to breed her to Accoyo Stratosphere first thing this coming spring.
