Service Sire: QR Principio's Grand Slam
834535<--ari-->Light Fawn<--color-->Before he even hit the ground, we knew that this little guy was special. His beautiful head was obvious from the moment it appeared, still in the sac. His sire is the undefeated AML El Duro's Principio and his dam is a lovely light fawn Jericho daugher. What genetics!
Grand Slam is extremely dense and fine with a silky handle which carries zipper crimp right to the tips. Check out his amazing fiber stats below. His square body type and strong bone are striking and he carries himself upright with great pride and attitude.
In his first show, the NorthEast Alpaca Expo, Grand Slam placed 2nd in a class of 14 light fawn juvies. Amanda VandenBosch commented that it was a very difficult class to judge due to the amazing quality of the entries. Grand Slam also brought home the 2nd Place in the Produce of Dam class for his mother , Carmela, showing with his dark brown yearling half sister, Quarry Ridge Marimba.
Grand Slam was awarded the blue ribbon in another very large class at the Empire Extravaganza,Amanda VandenBosch judging.You can see his amazing record below. A little maturity should do him well in the show ring this Spring.
We are offering limited outside breedings at $1500.

Description
Many farm visitors have asked us to let them know if we ever decided to put Tula up for sale. Due to the fact that we need to reduce the size of our herd, we are now offering this lovely female for a very reasonable price. Tula has wowed us since the day she was born and her show record bears testimony to her quality. Flawless conformation, dense and crimpy fiber, a truly lovely head and elegant carriage combine to make this girl an outstanding female.
Tula has delivered 4 superior crias for us: a bay black male who is standing in Massachusetts, a phenomenal true black female who sold at the age of 4 months, a bay black male, and a medium fawn male who has ribboned at all his shows, including a blue at this year's Green Mountain Spectacular.
UPDATE: SHE DID IT AGAIN. Born April 28th Tula delivered an outstanding Grand Slam cria named Fenway. She is a copy of her father. See her picture added on the side at the very end.
We loved the results that Tula produced with Quarry Ridge Grand Slam that we decided to breed her back to him. If you could put your hands on this cria you would understand.
JUNE UPDATE: Tula delivered a beautiful rich dark brown female in June. She is a full sister to QR Grand Slam’s Fenway and will be for sale at a later time.
