Knight has been a favorite on our ranch since the day he was born. Our 4-H kids love him! He's been easy to train and has a pleasant personality. He was the second black cria born on our ranch and was a total surprise! Both parents are a dark red/brown. But his sire Troubador has black points that we hadn't considered! His conformation is excellent and his fiber is no slouch either! Knight's true black fiber is very bright, dense and uniform, with great staple length. And his EPDs indicate he will pass those characteristics on. Unlike many black alpacas, his fiber is non-fading, meaning that his fleece will be true black when processed! At age four, he has settled his first females with pregnancies confirmed and due this spring. Unfortunately, our priorities have changed and we won't be using him in our breeding program to the extent we originally thought. So, this is your opportunity to add his genetics to your herd. Buy him now and see what his genetics can do for your herd!

We love the color and hand of Tosca's fleece! It's an extra dark chocolate color and lovely feel that hand spinners crave! It's very dense and uniform, and has great handle, even at her age. Tosca has excellent conformation on a compact frame. For her first cria, we bred her to our light silver grey herdsire, Amego. They gave us a dark bown boy with stricking facial and neck markings! The lightening strike appearance on both the neck and face tempted us to name him Harry Potter! But after looking at his fleece, we thought he was deserving of a more distinguished name. Lorenzo has extremely bright, extemely dense, dark brown fleece with a bold crimp! In the hope of producing a cria with finer fiber & dark or black color, we bred Tosca to our black herdsire, Midnight Prelude (Knight). Both have extreme density and great conformation. Check out their pretty black female! In keeping with Tosca's "opera" name, we have named her cria Cosi Fan Tutti. We hope you enjoy the fun! For her 2016 Cria, we bred Tosca to our grey herdsire, Duke. And Viola we got a pretty black girl! In the hope of another black or, better yet, gray with amazing fineness and density we've bred Tosca to our newest herdsire Kit Carson. She sells with our 30 day Live Cria Guarantee and a free breed back to any unrestricted Menagerie Hill Ranch owned Herdsire. That's a three in one package!
