We are pleased to anounce an agreement with Tom and Denise Sowles of Sahalie Suri Alpacas to purchase their half of USA Ringo. Our special thanks to both of them for working with us to make this a reality! Ringo is on our farm to stay! Maroon third generation colored suri future herdsire with incredible locks and luster and a perfect suri head. Ringo has tons of color genetics behind him and conformation and fiber qualities on the surface. There is no denying this male will be an asset to any breeding program. He began breeding fall '05 and we can't wait to see what he produces with the strength of his pedigree. Consider adding maroon or even rose gray to your color chart! Note: We warned you that his fee would go up when the first cria hit the ground. We have our first Ringo crias; they are outstanding! Two of them might go rose gray...Quesar was a rose gray. Too bad you waited! As these cria grow...wow! Loads of tightly locked and lustrous fiber, strong confirmation, good bone, great personality...Ringo's "git'n 'er done"!

We had the opportunity to see "Dazzy" in the pasture one windy day. WOW, the wind picked up her fiber and the locks to the skin were very evident as well as the very high luster. I held off buying her as we had a very nice LF at home (Misty Rain). The only time Misty was beaten in the ring, was by Dazzy! Well, that put us over the line and we made a deal for her just prior to the National show in Salt Lake City. She finished 5th is a large group there...however she should have done better. The judge put lock over luster, Dazzy was much better than the 3rd place animal and I feel that would have been a fair placing among the animals in the ring...oh well...we know what we have! Bred to USA Ringo for an October '06 cria...we can hardly wait! Note: Dazzy had a phenominal MF female cria in '06. She had an unbelievable LF male in '07...certainly herdsire and champion quality...look for Ricochet's Jackpot in the showring in '08.
