Congratulations to Larry and Darla Goodrich on the purchase of Katana. Katana is perhaps our most promising alpaca of the 2010 group. His conformation is second to none. This boy has very strong bone, proportion, and holds himself like he knows it to be true. Katana means sword in Japanese, and from the start he stood straight and proud. Katana's fleece is very bright and consistent with a medium frequency high amplitude crimp style. It is extremely uniform, fine, and organized. All these attributes come together in giving Katana a very pleasant handle with buttery fleece. Needless to say, we were very proud when Katana took FIRST PLACE in the True Black Juveniles class at GWAS, a level V show. Katana is a Misty Ridge Altair's Samaurai boy. A judge said of Samaurais fleece: “I could handle this fleece all day, incredibly bright, beautiful density. This is what we as an industry need to be breeding for”. And the latest: Katana takes blue AGAIN at the National Western Stock Show ...and the COLOR RESERVE! Good job Katana! The judge said he had fleece that was inky black that was incredible to handle. Katana started his breeding career in the spring of 2013. If you want to bring incredible conformation and low micron to your herd, give us a call. Katana has some fantastic cria from his 2013 breedings. We used his service for 2014 and had spectacular results. Call now for reservations.

Congratulations to Penny & Matt Orrick for including Sunfire in their herd. Sunfire is not only conformationally correct, she has a pretty face, and for a medium brown, has very uniform color throughout her fleece. We bred Sunfire to Katana in 2013 for a June, 2014 delivery and she had a beautiful bay black girl.
