We love Nemo. We all love Nemo, from our partners the Sweeney's at Celtic Criations to all who come to our farm. He is proud, he is stately, he is charming and he truly may be one of the smartest alpacas I have ever met. He definitely knows that he is king over his world, he controls his herd, and they all are much better behaved with Nemo around. Nemo has many wonderful traits that he passes onto his progeny, from incredible conformation, exquisite fineness, lovely crimp, and excellent density. He stamps them - and you can always tell a Nemo cria. Don't get me wrong - they aren't cookie cutters. They are distinct and they have an attitude and a presence that is recognizable to all of us. And he also passes on his great temperment and his intelligence. You know the saying that alpacas don't challenge fences? Well someone forgot to tell Nemo. He challenges them all. We swear he knows how to pick locks. He knows how to escape from any fence, gate, paddock, or arena around. I have seen him shimmy under a fence - like a marine crawling under fencing in boot camp. And he has taught his sons. And this is because he has a one track mind - girls. Here's a story: One late night Nemo decided it was time for a panty raid. And at 1am in the morning, he pried open a gate, he broke out of "camp"; and led 12 very very happy males over to the girls barn. The girls were thrilled, the boys were thrilled, perhaps I wasn't as thrilled......I had to get them all back. I know he was the instigator because i saw him do it. But to his credit, he also helped me corral one of the most indignant boys and get him haltered and led back down to the boys barn. Nemo pranced back to the boys barn, as proud as could be. Ever since that night Nemo has been my buddy. Nemo has many fine attributes other than being a girl loving escape artist. Nemo is as rare as they come... Full Peruvian, solid dark rose grey!!! This male has it all...color, fineness, crimp, charisma, presence, and attitude! His fleece (18.6 micron 2006) has a uniform fine handle and crimp. And at the age of 7 his micron came back at 22! Amazing--now that is lingering fineness! He has consistent grey fiber throughout his blanket. His sire, 5Peruvian Santana, is an AOBA 2000 Blue Ribbon winner in halter competition and the AOBA 2003 and 2004 Blue Ribbon fleece. His dam, Dona Perlas, was the 2001 PAOBA Breeders Showcase Reserve Color Champ for grey females. Her sire is 6Peruvian Dom Timbo 5042, a superb dark silver grey hersire owned by Magical Farms. This guy has inherited the best from both parents with impeccable fiber, conformation and presence. And Nemo's kids are great. He is producing champions and ribbon winning prgeny.

OMA Isabella

Isabella is that rare alpaca--a silver grey full Peruvian. She has a dainty feminine aspect from her topknot to her tail. She's got nice soft handle, good crimp and excellent conformation. To watch her move in the fields is like watching poetry in motion! She's just a delight to watch. Her Sire is the famous Peruvian Dark Knight and through her dams side she brings the wonderful C Peruvian Jaxon. Nice to see some of the Canadian Peruvian in our herd. In fact, you may recognize this beauty! Isabella made her television debut on The View a few years back. She was incredibly poised and well behaved. I wish we could say we had something to do with that - but I think it's just in her genes. Funny note: One of the hosts of The View thought she looked like Liza Minelli....! (LOL) Isabella's first cria, named Braveheart, was a beautiful boy from Snowmass Casanova. Her second cria is Rosehaven's Peruvian Silver Crown, born in july of 2008. That lil fella literally fell on his head (just as many cria do!), but when he got up he had a little silver streak across the top of his head. That mark remained while the rest of him slowly turned rose grey. He is truly a modern solid rose grey--except for that silver streak crowning his head! This lady is a beautiful alpaca and great mom. Her genes would benefit any herd! Isabella was the star on the View when Rob brought them there. She has done very well for us over the years and has given us one grey alpaca after another! her fleece is still excellent after all this time. She has a lovely temperment and has passed that on to all of her crias. She has a dainty feminine aspect from her topknot to her tail. Except when she gets near the feed pail watch out!!! Her Sire is the famous Peruvian Dark Knight and through her dams side she brings the wonderful C Peruvian Jaxon. Nice to see some of the Canadian Peruvian in our herd. Isabella has given us great alpacas from a champion rose grey to a beautiful dark silver grey girl from Lancaster. we will be breeding her this year to our Silver Grey Centaur for a 2017 birth. Stay tuned for that!

Description

This three time Reserve Champion was born on a Saturday morning during our first farm seminar, Silver Crown has a flair for the dramatic which is exhibited not only by his feisty personality but also by his dramatic silver gray coloring. He entertained not only our seminar attendees but also a contractor who was pouring concrete that day, who exclaimed "you just had a baby and it fell on its head!" Silver Crown took his first blue under Jude Anderson who said he "had the most consistent grey throughout his fleece that she had ever seen in a modern grey, and that his handle was absolutely lovely to the touch". He just took his 2nd blue at the new New Jersey show. We have lots of high hopes for this guy. In the spring at the Empire Fleece event Silver Crown took his first banner for Reserve. Wini LeBreque was the judge and raved over his fineness and crimp style. She said that the Champion and Reserve were a 1/2 a point apart - and hard to tell the difference. And Silver Crown is different. A modern rose grey with incredible fineness and good style and consistent crimp and color running from tip to tail. At his first spring show of 2010 - 2 weeks after his reserve - he repeated with another reserve in halter class. and a surprise to all of us, because he took 2nd in his class. So a rare treat when the 2nd place moves up and takes a reserve banner!!! Excellent for Silver Crown. We think he is like a fine wine... he will only get better with age.....
