StrongShepherd's JUNO

HuacayaMaleMedium Brown

AOA# 36126958DOB: 8/9/20222 yrs

This young male is everything we hoped for, and more, from his multiple champion & judge's choice winning parents, our Majestic Meadow's Cecelia and Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede. His maternal line has proven to pass on our most sought-after fleece qualities: UNIFORMITY, density and fineness, in fact his dam is maternal sister to our 23x Champion, AOA '22 2nd high point male, StrongShepherd Apollo by Koolossal. In the spring '23 show season Juno earned 9 blue ribbons in Juvie classes, and earned 7 Reserve Color Championships, competing in both Halter and Walking Fleece. He's continuing his winning streak in his yearling shows, with 6 more banners so far! Needless to say he is an amazing example of both elite fleece quality and very strong conformation. Juno is proudly co-owned with Ian and Jen Lutz at CasCadNac Farm, and with our Strong Shepherd partners, Randy and Karen Strong.

Description

Oh my - beautiful Sophia Sophia is a great asset to out foundation herd. Her fleece is fine, bright with a soft and delicate crimp style. Along with her fantastic fleece, Sophia has great conformation and a gentle disposition. At the Green Mountain Spectacular Fleece show in 2012, Sophia won the specialty reward for Best Hand. Cheryl Gehly wrote: "So fine, bright and soft. If I had this handle, I'd feel it in the morn-n-ing, I'd feel in in the eve-ning, all over the alpaca" But, best of all......Sophia gave birth late September 2015 to an astounding female cria out of XXXtreme Xclipse - Lunar Xclipse. Lunar did extremely well at the 2016 Fall shows, bringing home a RC and several 2nd place ribbons. She only lost to her half sister - Daisy Mae. This year - 2016 - Sophia blessed us with a beautiful female - Crystal Rose - out of Beethoven's Dorian. Still early in the game, but I can't wait to see how she develops - SOLD Sophia continues to produce champions. In 2017 sired by Jumanji's Peruvian Champ, Sophia gave birth to a champion male - Apollo. Several 1st places and two Championships. Really handsome and friendly fellow - LOVE HIM!!! 2018 Sophia presented us with Spencer, sired by XXXtreme Xclipse. He is only really starting his show career - Fall 2019 - as he was born so late in 2018 - SOLD And now, we have another cria sired by XXXtreme Xclipse. While he is only 3 weeks old, as of this writing - we are not disappointed and look forward to seeing him bloom - Moonshine. Watch for him at the 2020 Fall shows - SOLD
