"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. " - Steve Prefontaine Go "Pre"! OK -- he stood out as a cria on the farm, he nailed it in the show ring as a Juvi and as a Yearling, but now --- Pre has Placed First in many of the top Level V shows as an Adult. He has maintained his fineness and uniform crimp and has a special place in our Herd Sire row. Pre took another Blue Ribbon at the Level V - Empire Extravaganza Show in Syracuse, NY. There was many incredible fawns in his class including the awesome Endurance boy owned by Mary's Alpacas. Then he went to the OABA Alpacafest and with a class of 13 - he did the same! Amanda Vandenbosch could not say enough about Prefontaine. Now his first cria are hitting the ground and once again, he doesn't disappoint! His cria have color (grays, blacks, browns) and elite fleece with both density and fineness.
