Granite has over 25 cria on the ground with more to come. To date he's thrown a variety of colors ranging from grey, to black, to fawn, even maroons! They have been "chips off the old block" with Granite passing along his signature thick, rope-style lock along the blanket and fabulous density. We also noticing him add an improvement on luster of the dam in his offspring. One thing that really sets this full Peruvian, rose grey male apart from others is his total lack of Condor and MacGyver genetics - yep, this boy has NO condor OR MacGyver in his lines! Granite is one of the first male cria out of two time national champion grey herdsire "YODI". His dam has produced blue ribbon and champion offspring and his maternal half sister (also a color champion) has herself produced color champions. This is a unique, one-of-a-kind male alpaca who exhibits highly sought after density, tight, ropey lock style that goes from tip to skin and an array of GREY with both ROSE and SILVER fiber. He has a soft handle, which is being passed on to his offspring. Think about a "ROCK SOLID" investment for your herd's future--breed with "GRANITE". Granite's cria have done extremely well in show rings across the country, taking color champions, reserve color champions, first places and a variety of other ribbons! Please call us for more details about this unique and outstanding stud! We would consider leasing Granite out for a time to spread his genetic wealth.

3069066<--ari-->True Black<--color-->When I first laid eyes on this male I had to have him! I have always admired the beautiful blacks that Shirley Rogers has been breeding a Suri Hill Alpacas and this up and coming, junior herdsire is certainly an excellent representation of her program. He place 1st at the CABA Classic show above two of his half brothers and many other very nice blacks in a class of 7. Wade Geese remarked on the excellent drape and uniformity of his fleece as he was awarding his ribbon. He asked the audience to watch him as we stepped out together. READY TO BREED THIS SPRING; LOW INTRODUCTORY OFFER J.B. has excellent conformation, and is proportionally correct with an upright, suri presence. He is well grown for his age. We really look forward to seeing this one develope. HIS SIRE is the renowned Belefonte, owned by Lona Frank of Alpacas of Tualatin Valley and Green Valley Alpacas, Wayne and Susie Kunzman. 1st Place at his debut show, CABA Classic. A very competitive class! Judge Wade Geese praised the uniform drape of his beautiful locks and told the audience to watch how his fleece moved as we walked out to accept the ribbon. Judge Ursula Monroe said, "This young suri has lovely fleece, good fineness with uniformity of lock style throughout."

Description

Her low price is not a reflection of quality. We just need to make some room for our growing herd and decided to reduce prices on some of our exceptional females. Ruthie has been bred to our Belefonte's Jet Black, a top of the line herdsire for Seed Stock Suri Alpacas. Star Dust has produced Champion offspring. She is a wonderful, attentive mother, who has easy births and lots of milk for her cria. This is Ruthie! is a lovely true black, Color Champion. Her fleece is very soft, with good luster. Structurally she's very solid, straight. She has great energy & body condition. TRUE BLACK, FULL PERUVIAN with NO MacGyver or Condor lineage. She has produced two gray cria. Ruthis has been classified for Suri Herd Improvement Program (S.H.I.P.) with 4.75 for conformation and 3.18 for fleece traits. 3.96 over all score at the age of 8. Ruthie's first breeding to Storm Warning produced a truly lovely LF female we named 'Citrine' like the sparkling gem stone. Next up Ruthie was bred to Sandoval, black to black, and delivered a black female - a beautiful girl we named 'Famke' after the beautiful actress, Famke Janssen. Both dam and sire have very fine fleece with a very nice hand. The little black beauty born 8/22/2012 is healthy with fine lustrous fiber and just gorgeous - jet black without a spot of another color on her. She's regal with VERY soft and fine fiber. This result was so nice we repeated the breeding and on 8/23/2013 Ruthie produced a solid-colored DARK Silver GREY cria!!! Stunning, gun metal grey with brilliant luster and density, "Rowan" is beautiful and a Color Champion. We are very pleased with this production female. Every cria produced is drop-dead gorgeous with top of the charts fiber. Ruthie is also maintaining a lovely, low micron fleece year after year. 6/7/2011 24.5 AFD; 6.1 SD; 24.7 CV; 13.9% > 30 microns @ 4 yrs. 5/21/2010 25.4 AFD; 6.2 SD; 24.4 CV; 16.8% > 30 microns @ 3 yrs. 2009 19.1 AFD; 5.7 SD; 29.8% CV; 5.6% >30 microns @ 9 months
