At Autumn Sun Alpacas, we know that is no secret that this true black herdsire is an all-around package that you will want to cover any dam, light or dark colored! Secret is a black that had no fading at his tips or interspersed white fibers when he was showing (he's getting a few 'old man' white hairs now). This isn't surprising with a lineage that includes notable black sires like Othello, recently deceased, and Snowmass Nova's Dark Quest. With his distinctive head and leg coverage, along with his inky black fiber, many stopped and stared at Secret the ring. And worthy of that attention, his fiber has extreme density, bright shine, bundled crimp, and soft handle. These are traits that you want to add or amplify in your breeding program! This is obvious in the 10x champion true black son, AutumnSun's Black Maelstrom. We were fortunate to have had our program benefit from such an exceptional offspring, especially as he was just one of only a few we have performed to Secret! We have the fortune of several excellent herdsires, including grey and black, so Secret has had to be patient. And, Maelstrom is just as a precocious stud just as his sire, as both started breeding under 2 years old. Father and son both breed black well into our program. As our Secret is getting up there in years and we we don't want to overtax him (he is still breeding for us), we are closing him to outside breedings.

Description

Jetta has had three grey cria when bred to grey and two black cria when bred to white & fawn sires. As a dark colored full Peruvian dam that produces grey and dark crias, she is a great addition to a color breeding program. With her full Peruvian heritage, extremely dark coloration, great conformation and coverage -- Jetta is an easy addition to your herd. Her crias have been typey in their looks, -- with excellent conformation, highly desired coverage and fine, shiny, crimpy fiber. She is an easy breeder / birther and confident with her crias. Her price is very low because we need to move some alpacas. We intend to reduce head count this year, so make your offer before we make a deal to others. And, we would be willing to trade Gabe, Jetta, Toule in any combination for a quality blue-ribbon silver grey herdsire or jr. herdsire. If you have an abundance of good grey genetics but need to offload a top boy due to relationships, this can be your deal! These dams have had black and/or grey cria before and would be good in black-grey program. Jetta was bred to our pitch black Dark Secret to produce another fantastic black (another female?) cria in 2013. Note: Her past farm said she produced less milk for her crias than they preferred; so they supplemented milk and gave plasma transfusions. But, Jetta was a BIG girl (12+ on a scale of 10) then. Open and at 205 lbs upon arrival at our farm, the transporter said she was the most overweight alpaca he had EVER seen. Her previous owner did not have the space to separate her alpacas during feedings. After controlling her feedings to bring her weight down, we were successful in having her nursing her last two crias for us.
