Cosita Mia

HuacayaOpen (Female)Light Brown

AOA# 833452DOB: 8/4/200123 yrs

With Pperuvian Moustachio and Don Julio in her distinguished pedigree, Cosita was destined to possess exquisite conformation and fiber quality. For her first breeding, we were excited about pairing her with her award-winning childhood playmate, Senor Sombra, and they didn't disappoint! Cosita's first cria arrived without assistance and she has proven to be a wonderful mom. She stamped all her great qualities on "Starbuck" . . . same typey head, golden color, dense bone structure and head-to-toe coverage in fine, lustrous, dense fleece. Cosita has since produced five other award-winning cria and has earned a permanent place in our breeding program. She is the epitome of a perfect production female.

Description

We had a hunch this guy would be spectacular from the minute he hit the ground. We've never seen such bundles of popcorn-like fleece on a newborn. As he developed into a yearling, we found soft rolling skin under that first baby fleece too! Starbuck exhibits amazing fiber density which led judge Amanada VandenBosch to comment that he is "really packing on the fleece" when she awarded him his first Color Champion Banner in Syracuse. When judge Jude Anderson awarded Starbuck the Purple Banner at PAOBA, she said that he was her pick the moment he set foot in the ring. Against tremendous competition in Columbus in the Bred and Owned Yearling Male category, Starbuck finished fourth of nineteen entries, just behind three other Color Champions - all lighter in color. And at MAPACA '06, a team of four judges awarded Starbuck first place in the Dark Bred and Owned Yearling Male category over 14 entries from top breeders around the country. Starbuck has a wonderful disposition, broad chest and strong legs. You can find every color in his pedigree including grey and black, and you may notice the strong Accoyo contribution from his dam's side. Starbuck's crias are following in his footsteps, garnering blue ribbons and even a Reserve Champion banner! All of these stylish offspring are very crimpy, dense and showcase an array of colors from beige to dark brown to black and grey! His latest edition is a handsome dark brown boy from a fawn dam. Congratulations to Thorn Hill Alpacas on their new arrival! NEWS FLASH! Congratulations to Nicole & Aaron Bourne, Dan Haar and Noel Moore of Riptide Farms in Sussex, NJ . . . Their boy, "Starbuck's Prince of Riptide" just beat out two multiple color champs to claim the BLUE RIBBON in his class at MABA 2012! Great job, guys!
