Take a look at this girl's fiber stats! Vindaloo has extremely consistent crimp and character throughout her entire blanket including her top knot and belly. The style is super high frequency with a handle you'd be lucky to find in a white let alone a gray animal. The Hemingway traits run strong and deep with this incredible girl. Vindaloo delivered her first cria in the spring of 2006 and he it the ground running - hence the name - "Prefontaine".

Her next cria, Benchmark's Vincent by Accoyo Babe, is an amazing light rose gray. Vinny has followed suite with an impressive show record and impressive style including COLOR CHAMP at the 2010 National AOBA show as a three year old breeding male. 2009 gave us Kersee - who also placed at the top of every class she entered. Kersee is the result of breeding Vidaloo to our boy - Arrow. 2010 is Wilma and she is a Dark Rose Gray -- with exceptional fineness and high frequency crimp. Wilma's sire is Yago and we were so impressed with Wilma, we bred Vindaloo back to Yago for her 2011 cria.

Description

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. " - Steve Prefontaine Go "Pre"! OK -- he stood out as a cria on the farm, he nailed it in the show ring as a Juvi and as a Yearling, but now --- Pre has Placed First in many of the top Level V shows as an Adult. He has maintained his fineness and uniform crimp and has a special place in our Herd Sire row. Pre took another Blue Ribbon at the Level V - Empire Extravaganza Show in Syracuse, NY. There was many incredible fawns in his class including the awesome Endurance boy owned by Mary's Alpacas. Then he went to the OABA Alpacafest and with a class of 13 - he did the same! Amanda Vandenbosch could not say enough about Prefontaine. Now his first cria are hitting the ground and once again, he doesn't disappoint!
