2021 Magneto turned 19 in September. HE is still a handsome guy. We have used him as a herdsire this year for 2 of our girls. His 2021 micron count is up a little to 23.7. Still not bad for his age! 2020 Although, still able to sire crias, Magneto has had a rest the past few years. He has lasting fiber fineness with a 22.5 micron count for 2020. He has a very calm disposition , gets along well with the other guys. Because of his age and short fiber, we are selling him as a companion alpaca. But isn't he such a handsome guy still? Some of his cria are listed here. ANDiROBA DOB 8/22/2016 LF, Dam JOEY'S STARGAZER LILLY ANDIRA DOB 10/9/2014, DBr Dam JOEY'S STARGAZER LILLY.

"Rosie" is a very calm young lady, good mothering instincts with the crias just born. Named SixPennyRose because she was our 6th alpaca, (sixpenny is also a type of carpentry nail) and Rose because of her color. We have just started halter training her and she leads well. 2012, Miss Rosie produced a 13.8 lb girl we named Mahogany (Awnee for short) who is just a sweetheart. She leads well on the halter, has good confirmation and fiber. Rosie has been bred to our Black Velvet for a June 2013 cria. Wow!!!! What a georgeous male cria Rosie has - I think he is considered a dark rose gray. He will be ready for 2014 show season. Rosie has again been bred to Black Velvet for 2014 cria. We can hardly wait to see what 2014 cria will be. UPDATE: On 7/14/2014, Miss Rosie produced a male cria named Tesota who is so nice. We really like Mr. Sota. Our Rosie just had her 4th cria, A little reddish brown boy from our Kamiak's Kahana, A beautiful LENNOX boy. Bred last July 2015, SAWDUST'S RHAMNUS, born June 13.2016 6/8/2017 ROSIE gave us another LENNOX boy. ALECTRON, a beauty, MRG. Sire is our KAMIACK'S KOHANA
