Principio is a handsome male who has a gorgeous fleece, a beautiful head, great coverage, density and is phenotypically correct. And don’t take our word for it, the judges agreed since he was an 8 time undefeated halter champion. But it doesn’t stop there, as we all know a herdsire is judged by his offspring and Principio has impressed in this aspect as well. The first five crias of his which we entered in the show ring all won either blues or championships. Now that’s a producer. Principio has quickly established himself as one of our best fleece producers (and that’s saying something) Principio is going to be a great producer for us for years to come.

Congrats to Future Alpacas Farm for their purchase of Tickled Pink!!! Tickled Pink is out of Sunset Hills Ivory and Sunset Hills Andean Gold. These are two of Sunset Hills very best lines and they proved their worth in this female. Sunset Hills Ivory Dam is Contessa (Caligula line) whose cria can never seem to be kept at SHF because everyone instantly falls in love with them and Sunset Hills Andean Gold who is a multi-halter Champion who has won many top ribbons for his fleece as well, including the prestigious, “Spirit of the Fiber Industry Award” winning over every other colored fleece at the AOBA Nationals 2006. An even more impressive feat may be that Andean took the brown Color Championship along with the Judges Choice Award at the 2011 Buckeye show at almost 9 years of age. Now that's what you call lingering fineness and crimp structure. He is undoubtedly one of the finest fibered herdsires from Sunset Hills, and that's saying something!!! So, Tickled Pink has the best of both of these parents with her beautiful and feminine conformation and her very narrowly crimped fleece which is dense and well organized throughout her blanket. And as for coverage, Tickled Pink is covered from her teddy bear-like ears to her toes! She has been a great producer (just look at some of her cria's fleece shots) Micron Info - Tickled Pink's Sire, Andean Gold's 2012 micron was 21.8-3.6-16.6-2.7....Amazing numbers for a breeding male that is all most 10 years old!!! And Tickled Pink is following in his footsteps with a 21.4 micron at 5 years of age!!!
