Sire: Emerald Farms Rincon Cloud
30493339<--ari-->Lt Silver Grey<--color-->Emerald Farms Rincon Cloud is the AOBA National's Gray Grand Color Champion for 2005. He is a light silver grey champion male who's fiber is even difficult to get your fingers into yet he has retained his same ultra fineness. He has a gentle disposition and awesome proven genetics, in addition, Rincon offers incredible density, crimp and coverage, overall an unbeatable package. Rincon comes from a background of silver champions. Rincon's dam is a gorgeous silver chilean and his Sire is a silver grey, six time color champion, Cresent Moon's Rayo Del Sol. Also, his grand sire is an award winning silver grey male, Patagonia's Danko. At Nationals '05, Dr. Julio Sumar noted that Rincon was an excellent breed standard. Rincon is compact and carries himself with extreme pride. He also has that beautiful Rayo Del Sol head.<--description-->
Dam: Wildwood Dream Diamond Storm
30493339<--ari-->TB/Lt Silver<--color-->1/8 Bolivian, 3/4 Chilean, 1/8 Peruvian
Diamond is a beautiful, strong, healthy girl. She's an excellent mother, attentive to her babies with plenty of milk which is shown by their rapid growth and daily activity. She has easy births, in record time from start to finish. Her fiber is crimpy and dense with a very nice micron for a true black girl. As time goes along she adds more and more silver as is the case with her sire.
All of her cria have been exceptional taking ribbons in every show and for all their fiber entries. Her fineness comes through with every baby regardless of the breeding males micron. Judges comment on fineness, consistency and handle in every show her cria attend.<--description-->
Description
Diego's lineage of PPeruvian Pluro, Danko, grandsire Crescent Moon's Rayo Del Sol (6x Grand Color Champ) and Sire Emerald Farms Rincon Cloud 2005 AOBA Silver Nat'l Grand Champion are enough reason to want him in your breeding program! His 2013 fiber results are even more AFD 23.3; SD 5.2;CV 22.4; %>30 8.6; CF 91.4; sheared 10+ lbs; still this fineness at 7 years of age for DSG.
We need to reduce our herd size and herdsires must go on to other ranches. Since Rincon was sold and has just left the area it is doubly difficult to sell Diego especially with the babies he makes.
Diego has many cria on the ground & they are all lovely. We are very happy with those we have had personally and the ranches that have bred to Diego are thrilled with their babies.
Diego's mama is a pretty black girl with silver throughout her body. His sire Rincon Cloud, speaks for himself, with his cria receiving multiple blues, color champions and reserves along with Get of Sire.
Diego's string of blues began in '07 with a rave review from Judge Wade Gease's , "This young man had a presence as soon as he entered the ring...his feet glided across the grass, his toes pointed straight ahead...he's consistent throughout...good density and wonderful fineness...beautiful conformation". That was just the beginning followed by Wade praising him again at AlpacaMania for his "exceptional conformation, extreme fineness, beautiful crimp and consistent fiber character". He continued to stock pile blues and more at every show and fiber exhibition we had him in until he began breeding.
Diego has a sweet personality, isn't skittish and comes right to us or visitors. His fiber is exceptional and butter fine, his micron stats have always been great for a light animal let alone his coloring! They rank right alongside with some of the best in the nation! His fineness, luster, excellent dense coverage, beautiful typey head and strong bone structure will add great qualities to any herd. His conformation and proud presence was apparent since he was born and all the judge's comments confirm it. Now with so many cria on the ground it is great to see that he passes his fiber qualities on to his offspring and he is making more all the time!
This is your opportunity to add Diego's beautiful DSG coloring to your herd not to mention his sweet personality, incredible fineness and his impressive genetics.
