Exciting news! Ricochet's pinto male cria from fall '05 (FMR Samurai) won Color Campion in Denver's Great Western in May '06 and also just took 2nd at AOBA's National Show in Louisville 2 weeks later. We also just had another Ricochet cria, a super high luster (of course!) MF female out of a LF dam. Ricochet is a Full Peruvian grandson of Inca Hoots. White with Med. Brown around his eyes and dark pigment in his nose and nails. He has some of the best lock and luster you'll see...and staple length, wow! Shorn at 18 months he had locks over 14" and at a show 3 months later planning to show for confirmation in the shorn class, he had grown too much and had to show full fleece! Shorn the second time 11 months later he had 9" locks. He settled his first females Sept. '03. The first picture is taken out in the pasture, no prep...look at the luster! His cria are exceptional! He puts a good suri head, great coverage (chin to toes), intense lock and very high luster on his cria! Note: Ricochet continues to impress us as a herdsire. We had 2 drop-dead gorgeous cria out of Ricochet in fall ('05). One is all white (Symphony's Concerto) and the other white/medium fawn pattern (Samurai) (both dams are white)...both have exceptional lock, luster and coverage; and both took 1st place at their debut show! Check out the AN site for Rancho Milagro and take a look at Peruvian Ric Roc, a Full Peruvian Ricochet cria! As Ricochet's cria continue to impress us (and the judges) we have increased his breeding fee in accordance with the quality he is producing compared to other herdsires and their fees.

We bought Raindance as part of a package deal. We liked not only the way she looked, we already owned several others out of this same herdsire (Senor Bolivar) and with 4 reserve champions knew she'd be a great addition. Her first cria (Misty Rain of FMR) did not disappoint, Blue Ribbon at her first show at 7 months! Raindance is a very good mom, lots of milk and no trouble birthing. She had a very nice Light Brown female cria this spring (3rd and 4th pictures). Her third cria is a drop dead gorgeous MF female out of Ricochet. All of Ricochet's cria have incredible luster, coverage, lock, density...he's one great herdsire! Note: Raindance's last cria was an excellent Ricochet male (Rebound). At his debut show he placed first in a small class, however the show combined all first and second place solid males were brought in for a solid color champion, 12 animals who received 1st! Animals ranged the full color spectrum from white to True Black, Rebound got the Reserve Champion, so a solid showing in his first show! This cria that is due any day should be very nice, If it's a girl, what a great deal!

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"!
