Blackjack needs a new farm! We are a small farm and already have his genetics in our male and female breeding herd. He will soon be in a pen by himself if a pending sale goes through. He is still very soft and produces a 4-5 lb blanket. Beautiful phenotype, nice crimp and density. Very robust male. Needs to be placed with other adult males. All offers considered including trades or breeding. Look at the fleece characteristics and phenotype he's passed on to his first 2 offspring. Both of his 2012 crias (medium brown) are holding at 21 microns at age 18-20 mos!! Their dams are not related and needed fineness and fleece character, better phenotype and coverage. Blackjack provided that to both of them! We are a small farm and can't breed him to our whole herd but he's too nice to just hang out in my pasture & barn! Blackjack is a robust, mature male - he is the perfect stud you want to find in your pasture. He travels well - drive by breeding work best for you? Contact us now. Keep your females with Cria at side at home this spring! Bright, crimpy, SOFT, luxurious black fiber - with a "stylish" (awesome!) typey head (full fleece!) and absolutely flawless conformation with a show record to back up this claim! His fiber is fine, yet dense. Fiber analysis revealed a 20.9 micron count at 2 yrs. The handle is still superb - soft and crimpy fiber that cannot be overlooked. And, he is maintaining over 4 inches of staple length! WOW! Blackjack has managed to sneak all the remarkable traits of his genetic ancestors (Lanark’s Expresso, Drambuie, and Dom Timbo) into his perfect conformation, luxurious fiber, and macho personality package. He is broad and full framed - perfect! As an added bonus, he adds his own gentle-yet-inquisitive personality to his offspring. The offspring of a True Black dam (Black Magic) and a Grey sire (Pride of America-a Dom Timbo son), Blackjack is a TRUE Black with a few grey spots - or is he a grey with a whole lot of black?? Spin-Off results from Alpaca Blast-off 2012 - 2nd place with a score of 91 out of 100! Awesome! Nice comments from the handcraft spinner/ judge. Contact me and request a sample - he is staying so soft and fine! SMALL FARM SPECIAL: Move Blackjack to your farm by 10/31/14 and get two free breedings for your herd! Trade agistment for the breeding fees. Hosting farm pays all transport costs.

If you are setting your HOPE on fawn or color…then you can stop looking! Look at what our Angel made! WOW! This girl is the most gentle, easy going in my entire herd. She's a joy to work around and has followed in her mom's footsteps as a great mother. She would make a great addition to any herd with a rainbow of colors available in her genetics / pedigree. Her medium fawn fleece has many gray fibers in it - she may be a Rose Gray! Come take a look for yourself! Soft, bright, crimpy, dense, fine, good conformation and bite and FEMALE!!!! Rarely have we seen such density and fineness in such a powerful sweet package at this age. We invite you to come and see Hope! Check out her fleece stats: 17.7 CV with consistent crimpy bundles of fine fleece. Hope was 42.4 lbs at 7 weeks and was a tall, solid 135 lbs at 18 months, 155 lbs at 2 years. Hope hails from two genetically sound and awesome parents. Angel (a true black with gray sire: Mafutu, son of Danko) and El Trinidad (an Augusto & Hemingway grandson) combined to create a strong female. Her dam Angel has been a terrific mom - unassisted births, excellent cria growth (plenty of milk), and protective without being annoying. We have Hope's older sister who we've added to our core herd, and now have a younger sister. Our luck of 3 girls in a row from Angel is your benefit as we can't keep them all! Hope produced a beautiful boy with an easy birth and tremendous weight gain in the first week. Her Cria gained 14 oz a day from day 2 thru 6. He doubled his weight in the first two weeks! Check her out now! She is being sold as a proven female with a breeding to light silver gray Stone Bluff's Zane Gray. (Progesterone of 4.25 on 12/28/2012) Come visit our new farm and see her with her mom & 4 siblings!

Description

Just received Gambler's yearling fleece micron results! 30 months and still 21.6 micron! (April 2015) and 95% comfort factor. PRICE INCLUDES his 3 yr old buddy Prince Samuel who was 24 micron in 2015 and still has a soft hand with loads of fiber. They are both integrated with our younger males but grew up together. Both sheared a 3.5 lb blanket plus over 1 lb of neck fiber. Gambler's fleece show results from the American Fiber Rally show in 2013: Gambler placed 1st out of 3 in the juvenile brown class! Gambler placed 1st at Small Breeders Challenge and then sheared over 2 lbs of blanket and almost 1 lb of neck fiber at 7 months old. As you can see in the picture - nice long staple too! Micron testing results are at 22.4 with a 94% comfort factor and 34% deg/mm mean curvature (indicating presence of crimp). As his fleece grew in last summer, there was a lot of gray fiber in the neck and some in the blanket. The tips of his ears are silver gray - could he be turning rose gray? 8/18/13 - checked his blanket fiber and WOW the gray. I do believe he has turned modern rose gray! At least indefinite vs MB. Gambler's pedigree reads like a who's who among the best alpacas! Dom Timbo and Danko (Fabulous grays that set the bar for elite grays), with Peruvian Drambuie, Augusto, and Hemingway to set in dense, crimpy fiber with lasting fineness. And these genetics shine through when you get a look and put your hands on this young herdsire! The crimp on this boy is amazing and coverage from his nose to his toes! Nice straight legs, balanced confirmation, heavy bone, good bite, and density. His dam has a lot of gray fiber in her fawn fleece and sire is a black with light silver gray spots (from his LSG sire), so his color may change more. The fiber on the tips of his ears is definitely silver gray and neck fiber looks gray on the inside too! A very calm easy going alpaca like his dam, who is one of the largest but also easiest going of my female herd.
