AOA# 814489DOB: 6/12/200123 yrs

Lystra has provided a strong foundation for our herd. She is a beautiful, large alpaca with a lovely fawn fleece. A Caligula granddaughter through her sire El Patron, and from The Silversmith line through her dam, Lystra has the genetics to produce beautiful crias. She has been doing just that. Her crias are all incredible. Her 2006 cria, Sunrise Surprise “Sunny” is now producing her own incredible crias (four great boys so far). In 2007, Lystra produced a fabulous male, Lord Tennyson, who has won numerous awards, including Reserve Color Champion and now Get of Sire, and saw his first fabulous crias born in 2011. In 2008, we were pleased to welcome Asa Lee to our herd. The fineness and hand of his fleece is something that just must be felt. It has already won him multiple First Place ribbons and the Highest Scoring Brown Huacaya Alpaca at the 2011 AOBA Nationals and MAPACA Spin-Offs. In September 2009 we greeted beautiful Pirate’s Luck. Yet another cria with incredible fleece, 16.8 microns at 32 months of age. Lystra’s 2010 cria with multiple award-winning My Peruvian Fire ‘n Ice is another gorgeous boy, Regal Copper. His fleece is incredibly dense with tight bundles of shiny copper fleece, and he has the same size and strong frame of his siblings and is now starting his herdsire career at another farm (RC's first cria was just born, a beautiful girl). In 2011 and 2012, we repeated the breeding to our award-winning herdsire Powergrid that produced Asa Lee in 2008. Their 2011 cria, Lightning Bolt is now a junior herdsire at a local alpaca farm. Their 2012 cria, Elise will join her mother as a foundation of our herd. In 2013, Lystra did it again with a fabulous male cria out of FWD Kubla Khan. Augustine is a beautiful boy with dense, beautiful fleece.

Description

Lord Tennyson has it all, wonderful bloodlines – Bueno, Caligula, El Patron, The Silversmith; incredible fleece – brilliant white, tight, crimpy bundles; good size and conformation; and incredible presence. Tennyson has inherited the great fleece shearing weight of his sire Lord Byron, like his sire Tennyson shears around 10 pounds. In addition to all these wonderful characteristics, Tennyson is a gentle boy with an incredible sense of presence about him. At the 2009 VAOBA Expo Fleece Show, he was awarded the Reserve Color Championship. Earlier that year, he won First in the light class of the Virginia Classic Walking Fleece Fiber Futurity for the second time in a row. In 2008 he won as the youngest in the class at exactly 6 months of age (and went on to win Best in Futurity), and next year as the oldest in the class, just one day shy of 18 months. He continues to do well in regional and national shows. Lord Tennyson’s first crias hit the ground in 2011, and they are incredible. Tennyson’s Milton has lovely fleece, conformation, and that sense of presence that hints at great things to come. Tennyson’s Becket has all that in fawn, and Timbuctoo has incredible fiber and one of the sweetest faces I’ve ever seen. In 2012, we welcomed Lady Clare (and an almost identical beauty who was born off the farm) and Sir Galahad in the spring and Tennyson’s Arthur and White Owl in the fall. They offer additional proof that Tennyson is producing consistently dense, bright and conformationally correct offspring. You can see his stamp in their adorable ‘teddy bear’ faces and fleece. We were very pleased when Tennyson won First in the 2013 VA Classic Get of Sire. At the same show, Sir Galahad repeated Tennyson's success in the Walking Fleece competition, winning First and Champion. Consider the benefits of adding Lord Tennyson’s great genetics to your herd.
