Proudly Co-Owned with Rancho Chico Alpacas Diamond is a very rare alpaca, with two full Peruvian colored parents, both carrying fine genes, and retaining their fineness into late adulthood. His crias have nearly all been dark, all have been under 20 microns, with typey heads, and those entering the ring are taking home ribbons. My visit to Rancho Chico to see the crias was what sold me on Diamond. I would tell you to come here to see some crias, but every female I have bred him to . . . has sold. Last year, I returned home with Pandora, a beautiful black daughter from a pick of the litter off the farm. And this year, look at our 2012 cria, Onyx and Mocha! His son Hermoso, shown, took 4th in AOBA composite class, and can be seen at Rancho Chico. Rancho Chico is retiring, and their half interest is for sale. A fantastic option for Snowmass genetics, for dark fine fiber that persists for years, for typey heads and square compact bodies, for darker offspring than the dam that improve in one generation in both conformation and fiber, with intellect and personality.

Amber is a beautiful rich brown Full Peruvian female with very dense, crimpy soft fiber. Both her dam and sire were ribbon winners and she is following in their footsteps. Amber's grandsire is 4Peruvian Silver Cesario so it’s not surprising that she has produced 1 solid black female and 2 modern grey. Check out the pics of her 2010 cria Abigail on this page. . For 2011, she has been bred to SCA Peruvian Desert Sun of Misty Maiden fame. These two should produce an outstanding cria. Just imagine, it could be YOURS!!! Amber does have 4 white spots in her blanket that are the result of antibiotics given years ago after a jaw abscess surgery. She's had no further problems. She is a great mother, milker, easy breeder and easy birther. She is not a huggable girl but if you want dyn-o-mite crias, she is the one for you.
