Starquest's Rocketman ("Rocky" as we call him) was one of 6 white males born here on the farm in 2010. We knew within the first week he was going to be special, and it feels good to be right! Rocky represents Excellence in every category. Take a look below- - Pedigree. Rocky's sire is Snowmass Starquest- 2003 AOBA Champion and Futurity Reserve Champion. Starquest brings Augusto, Vengador, Navidad, and Isabella. Rocky's dam is our own Blossom of Snow. This Snowmass Perfection daughter has been a consistent producer of elite fleeced offspring that maintain fineness into adulthood. - Progeny- Rocky's first offspring, a female out of an Accoyo America Ulysses daughter born 10/2013, is DENSE, DENSE. As she has grown we are seeing excellent organization in a fleece that is extremely bright and fine. ******She just won the Reserve Color Championship in the white class at CABA 2015!********* Rocky's cria from 2014 are nothing short of spectacular- excellent density levels, high curvature character, and a very high degree of fineness. If you are looking to infuse lasting fineness with consistency and bring density as well as a high frequency/low amplitude (think zipper crimp) crimp style, then strongly consider introducing Rocketman to your girls and see the results and improvement first hand. Fleece samples available upon request. Combine his 5 year histogram, EPD stature, consistency seen across his first group of offspring from a variance of dams, and his genetic depth- a move from our farm to yours is a solid and worthwhile investment. With our move to sell the herd, we can easily say Rocky has all the superior qualities in a stud- he has routinely stamped superior and sustained fineness in his offspring, along with stamping his head that he inherited from his sire, Snowmass Starquest. An astute breeder will recognize his potency and investment. Rocky's EPD- Top 1% in 3 out of 6 categories SDAFD- Top 1% (.009) MC- Top 1% (.009) SDMC- Top 1% (.009) AFD- Top 2% (.018) SF- Top 2% (.013) %>30- Top 5% (.052)

Gem State's Cinnarun

HuacayaOpen (Female)Light Fawn

AOA# 31507547DOB: 8/13/200915 yrs

A Very Fine PC Running Late Girl! "Cinny" was one of two Running Late offspring born in 2009. From the start, she has been, not surprisingly, a very fine-fleeced light fawned beauty showing the same qualities as her Sire. She is maintaining fineness at an unbelievable level (16.9 micron at 4 yrs old). This lingering fineness is a highly heritable trait passed on from her sire PC Running Late - a Futurity, IAO, and AOBA National champion. Add to this a long staple, a very gentle disposition, great mothering instincts and you have the complete package. Cinny has now given birth to 3 cria - all of them female! She just had her 3rd in a row in the summer of 2014 - her name is Petra. A gorgeous head just like her Dam's along with the fineness that makes Cinny so impressive. We can't wait to see the historgrams on Petra as her fineness will be in the low teens. Cinny had her cria in August as planned! He is so fine and displays tons of crimp.

Description

*** Due to family circumstances - we are reducing the size of our herd. Petra's Auction Price is not a reflection of her quality, but rather the need to reduce our numbers. **** We are so excited to have Petra on our farm. She has great genetics, super fine fiber, and has the adorable look down pat. Petra's Dam is a PC Running Late daughter who had a 16.9 AFD at age 4! Petra is primed for long lasting fineness. Her Sire is Gem State's Starquest's Rocket Man. A genetic powerhouse who also is sporting some amazing fiber stats. He is the top 1% EPD on SDAFD and Curve and top 2% on AFD and Spin Fineness. Rocketman's genetics are incredible on both sides of the aisle. Putting a PC Running Late Daughter with Rocketman really did produce a winner! Petra already exhibits unbelievable fineness and brightness. Her fleece is beautifully bundled and she is a fabulous foundation female. Take a look at her histograms! They are phenomenal! Petra is an EPD super star. She's a stat geek too, with numbers that continue to impress. It is a bonus that she is one of the best mom's on the farm. We lost a mama alpaca this past year and Petra was more than willing to nurse the cria left behind. She produced enough milk for both her own and her adopted cria. Good mamas are underrated! *** Update *** Bam! A home run with this one! Paradox is going to be special! She is now bred to Iron Man for a 2020 cria. I have a feeling this will be another big win! *** Update *** And another huge hit! Indeed, she threw another light fawn, this one with Iron Man. It took us all of one day to realize that this little guy's fleece has some serious character. We will wait and watch ... you should too! *** Update *** Cria #4 is yet another fawn - but this time a girl! We were so happy with Petra's cria from last year that we re-bred Iron Man to Petra and they produced another stunning fawn cria. We already see the potential for her fleece to turn out as nicely as her brothers! Another home run for Petra.
