Castle Rocks Samaurai's Katana - SOLD
Alpaca, Huacaya, Herdsire (Male) | True Black
AOA #31937894 | DOB: 7/6/2010 (14 yrs)
Sire: Misty Ridge Altair's Samaurai
31937894<--ari-->Dark Fawn<--color-->Misty Ridge Altair's Samurai, a Dark Fawn, has had rave ratings at the show circuit! With 3 color championships and 9 blue ribbons under his belt, it's no wonder one judge remarked, "I could handle this fleece all day, incredible brightness, beautiful density, this is what we as an industry need to be breeding for."

Dam: Cinco's Cindilyn
31937894<--ari-->Medium Fawn<--color-->Cindilyn has proven her worth over and over again through the years, and would be a great foundation female for any herd. This girl is a reliable producer and good mom, with correct conformation and top grade fleece. Her ribbons don't lie. Cindilyn is an anomaly. A medium fawn from a long line of prestigious white alpacas, Cindi tends to throw the color she is bred to, even dark colors. This big girl, when matched to macho studs, produces large, conformationally correct progeny with dense bone.
Her service sire for 2009 was Misty Ridge Altair's Samurai, a medium brown, who has had rave ratings at the show circuit! With 3 color championships and 9 blue ribbons under his belt, it's no wonder one judge remarked, "I could handle this fleece all day, incredible brightness, beautiful density, this is what we as an industry need to be breeding for."
In keeping with her tendency to throw color when bred to it, Cindi gave us a true black boy from Samurai! Samurai is a medium brown, but his dam was a true black. <--description-->
Description
Congratulations to Larry and Darla Goodrich on the purchase of Katana.
Katana is perhaps our most promising alpaca of the 2010 group. His conformation is second to none. This boy has very strong bone, proportion, and holds himself like he knows it to be true. Katana means sword in Japanese, and from the start he stood straight and proud. Katana's fleece is very bright and consistent with a medium frequency high amplitude crimp style. It is extremely uniform, fine, and organized. All these attributes come together in giving Katana a very pleasant handle with buttery fleece.
Needless to say, we were very proud when Katana took FIRST PLACE in the True Black Juveniles class at GWAS, a level V show. Katana is a Misty Ridge Altair's Samaurai boy. A judge said of Samaurais fleece: “I could handle this fleece all day, incredibly bright, beautiful density. This is what we as an industry need to be breeding for”. And the latest: Katana takes blue AGAIN at the National Western Stock Show ...and the COLOR RESERVE! Good job Katana!
The judge said he had fleece that was inky black that was incredible to handle.
Katana started his breeding career in the spring of 2013. If you want to bring incredible conformation and low micron to your herd, give us a call. Katana has some fantastic cria from his 2013 breedings. We used his service for 2014 and had spectacular results.
Call now for reservations.
