NOT FOR SALE RETIRED FROM BREEDING Vito has a fine bright fleece, butter soft with crimp from his nose to his toes. He has magnificent coverage and a density that is really remarkable. He has stunning conformation and a gorgeous, typey head. He also is a gentle soul with a sweet disposition. Vito uniformly throws his density and well organized lock structure. We have a splendid variety of colors in Vito offspring - he tends to throw the dam's color although not in every case and he throws that teddy bear head about 50% of the time. All of the offspring I have seen have his very correct conformation and "nose to toes" fleece coverage and...well...we just have an awful lot of satisfied customers. Show Record Information Vito had a very successful show career. He never placed lower than third in any halter class he entered and never lower than second in the two national fleece shows he entered. His fleece shorn at 66 months was awarded Color Champion at the prestigious Great Western Alpaca Show in Denver (May, 2010) The judge commented on how well he is holding his micron as well as how well structured and consistent his fleece is. Most recently at the AOA National Fleece Show, he was awarded 19 out of 20 points for fineness and handle on a fleece shorn at eleven and half years! Still winning ribbons after all these years. Show information is available here as well as through the AOA web site. When using show results as a criteria for choosing stud services or purchases, we strongly encourage you to consider the whole equation. Look at the size of the show, the level of experience of the judge(s), the size of the class in question and the show experience of the other breeders competing in the class. Not all blue ribbons are created equal. We are very proud of Vito's show record, but he has a second place ribbon that I am just as proud of as all of his championship ribbons. Show results should be considered only one tool to be used in judging the quality of any alpaca.

Our Calliope is a beautiful harlequin grey girl, very dense with great conformation. She is a great mom, easy to breed, easy births, good milker and a very attentive mother. She has given us three beautiful black cria from three different males - 2 black and 1 gray. She is the one everyone notices at farm visits - how can you resist that face! And then she had Kubota - an absolutely scrumptious appaloosa male cria who sold the minute he hit the sales list. He is pretty spectacular, just like his Mom. We have repeated the breeding that produced our scrumptious Kubota (winning blue ribbons on the show circuit now) and are looking forward to another gorgeous cria from this pair. Our gorgeous Harmony arrived - the spitting image of her mother - and we couldn't be more pleased.
