Well, Giorgio was a TOTAL SLEEPER for us. He was handsome and had a great pedigree, but he was overlooked for the show string, and we leased him to a farm in Santa Ynez along with his sister and a couple of huacayas. So, the farm called to say they were returning 3 of the girls (the lease period had ended), but it turns out that one of the "girls" they sent in the trailer was actually Giorgio. Yes, he managed to impregnate 3 girls (including his half sister AND a huacaya) in 24 hrs! Turns out that ALL of the crias are GORGEOUS!--even (especially) the "hua-suri" boy, Spike. But the best is El Mago--I can't believe how lustrous and well-defined his locks are, and he has wrinkled skin all over his neck. He's going to start his show career soon, and Giorgio has been bumped up to our stud row, based on his production, as well as his lustrous fleece and conformation. Giorgio's sire, Accoyo Armani, is fawn, and Giorgio has a fawn forelock. So, I'm sure he carries color. He's a big (not huge) boy with an elegant, strong conformation. He's in with 8 other intact males, and they all get along, for the most part. We have way too many excellent quality junior herdsires with great pedigrees, so we are offering all at ridiculously low prices on auction. After we sell the first 2, the prices will go up. Giorgio is at our North San Francisco Bay farm, Alpacas of Marin.

Sorpressa is a lovely, solid, good-natured female with a strong maternal instinct. The product of the Studmaster/Ideal Alpaca Community program affiliated with North West Alpacas, she has the benefit of generations of improvement with the famous Studmaster sires. Her first cria, Peggy Sue, has started her own breeding career. Her second cria, Arica, will be breeding this spring. Sorpressa is bred for an outstanding cria to a Champion light fawn Accoyo (who just happens to be an EL NINO SON), Accoyo America Hawkeye! Now, won't THAT be special?! Why are we selling her? Well...look at the name of our ranch! We have decided to limit our herd to Suri alpacas, only. Sorpressa agists at Derwydd Alpacas with Jan and Dale Davis.
