Richie is out of Kaspa (DSG) and one of our best dams, Basil. His half brother, Heatherbrook's Emperor Basil, from Basil is also a Multi-Champion. Richie’s fleece was always mentioned as being the best in the class by the judges. He has extremely dense, beautiful fleece, and with his erect studly stature, is an eye catcher in the field. If you are looking for grey genetics, prestigious bloodlines, extreme density and excellent conformation, Ritchie is the herdsire for you.

Dam: WCA Pat's Morning Glory

31401524<--ari-->Medium Fawn<--color-->Sweet and curious, Morning Glory is a young lady with exceptional conformation, along with dense, fine, medium to dark fawn fleece. She has good staple length and coverage as well. Morning Glory is one of the most evenly tempered animals on our farm. While certainly not cuddly, she is nevertheless respectful of all of her 4-legged and 2-legged friends. She gets along well with the young crias in her pasture as well as the older girls. Morning Glory is simply a pleasure to work with. Morning Glory is turning out to be an incredible producer. Morning Glory's dam was a fantastic mother and our alpha female for several years, and Morning Glory appears to have inherited these good mothering skills as well. Morning Glory offers a fantastic opportunity to add a high quality breeding female to your herd! Morning Glory gave birth in 2008 to her first cria, a cute light silver grey boy named "Blaise" with nearly perfect conformation and equally amazing fleece. Blaise quickly became our farm's poster boy, but unfortunately took ill and passed away in January, 2009. Morning Glory did it again, giving birth on May 31, 2009, to another light silver grey cria--this time a beautiful female named Françoise or "Frannie" out of the champion herdsire "Ritchie." More pictures of Françoise are available under her own listing. Morning Glory gave birth in 2010 to a cute little solid white girl named Bette out of Crescent Moon's Roulette of Morning SKY Farm in Pennsylvania. Roulette was also the father of Morning Glory's first cria, Blaise. Bette is available under her own listing on our sales page. Morning Glory most recently birthed another silver grey female, Emmy, out of the multi-championship-winning grey male Silver Patron. She is exactly what we'd hoped for out of this pair--a show quality grey! We are considering repeating this pairing for a 2012 cria as well. <--description-->

AOA# 32715750DOB: 8/4/201311 yrs

This gray son of Jacob Black is just what we ordered. This gorgeous son of Jacob Black is everything we dreamed of when we did this breeding. Beautiful head, perfect conformation, and gorgeous all silver fleece. Showtime is not a mix of black and white. He's a beautiful solid light silver grey. His fleece is stunning! Showtime is the result of Jacob Black's first attempt at breeding grey, and we must say he has mastered it! Showtime's dam, Shades of Grace, has 10 halter champions (these combine fleece and conformation) and his sire, Jacob Black, has 19 in halter. Needless to say we are very, very excited about this gorgeous silver grey juvi herdsire! Update: 2 banners out of 4 shows as a juvi! Not too shabby! Check out his show record! Fantastic for a very young male compteing against males quite a bit older than he is! Update: Showtime just started his fall yearling show schedule as a very young yearling and we are thrilled! Showtime takes a very competitive color champion at the America's Alpaca Showcase in Des Moines in October! Update: Showtime finishes his show career with 8 banners, including COLOR CHAMPION two years in a row at the Futurity! We are thrilled!

Description

Final Update: Frannie delivered her latest cria, a female classic silver grey girl out of 8X champion Irish Meadows Peruvian Showtime, on May 7th, 2019. Frannie is now sold; look for her and her cria at Circus City Alpacas in Peru, Indiana. Hi all! Frannie is a gem with a combination of rare bloodlines and quality. She has been with us since she was a wee cria. The fleece she produces is some of the best grey fleece we have ever had at our farm! She is certainly worth the investment! HERD DISPERSAL UPDATE: Frannie was always the best grey dam on our farm. She has a nearly spotless blanket with AWESOME density. Though compact, she has excellent conformation and coverage. She has always been a good mom with lots of milk. She is very protective of her babies. Every one of her crias has been stunning. She is an exceptional grey producer! Frannie deserves a spot on a farm’s foundation herd. She would be a great addition to any farm. Françoise was born just after noon on May 31st, and she hit the ground at an amazing 20.3 lbs! She is a solidly built little girl with a broad chest and excellent squareness to her frame. Her color is equally astounding--the most gorgeous shade of light silver, with only a few barely detectable small spots in her blanket. Her fleece density rivals any animal we have had born on the farm, and she has amazing medium frequency crimp and bundling. Frannie had some issues with an inner ear infection early on, and still has a droopy right ear and paralysis in her upper right eyelid. While these cosmetic problems did limit her show ring career, she has grown into a great breeding female and we are excited about the crias this girl will produce! Frannie gave birth to her first cria--a cute rose grey female out of the multiple get-of-sire winner Charles P. Atlas--in May 2013. Frannie followed that up with a promising true black boy out of the late Woodland Meadows Greyson in June 2014. Frannie's two most recent crias really prove her potential as a foundation female; check out the separate listings for her crias Maya Zatz and Fausto de Elhuyar! As with her own mother and grandmother, she has turned out to be a great mom, producing lots of milk for her cria. Frannie is named after Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, the French biologist and current director of the Unité de Régulation des Infections Rétrovirales at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France. She was the winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which she shared with her mentor Luc Montagnier. The two virologists are credited with discovering the retroviral human immunodeficiency virus. Frannie is confirmed bred to 8X halter champion Irish Meadows Peruvian Showtime for an May 2019 cria.
