Thank you Russ and Brenda Wyler of Crossed Arrows Alpacas located in Velma, Oklahoma for purchasing 1/2 interest in Alpaca Palace's Houdini! We are excited about our new partnership! Houdini will be settling females in Oklahoma leaving PA in October returning in April to Butler, PA. WHOA! Our Bred and Born Treasure, Alpaca Place Houdini's 1/2 interest being offered! What an opportunity to get in on THE PREPOTENT Sire that throws COLOR and gets all the credit for Alpaca Palace's existance!!! What else were we to do with an incredible male like this? He has produced multiple Champions and numerous ribbon winners. His offspring are cookie cutter consistent. He passes on his extreme brightness, fineness, high frequency character, consistency throughout the fleece and his Extreme DENSITY and BRIGHTNESS. Houdini produces color about 70% of the time when bred to color. Add that to the fact that Houdini also greatly improves conformation which gives the advantage of breeding to an average quality female his ability to leap generations in quality of his offspring. His crias have beautiful heads, square frames, straight legs and great width of chest and rump. When comparing his offspring's fleeces, they are very easy to identify because of their brightness, fineness, consistent character and style. His crias are very vibrant and quick to stand and nurse at birth. They are smart and easy to train. His daughters are GREAT moms, easy birthers with lots of milk and wonderful mothering instincts. As breeders, this is what we all wish for in breeding seed stock foundation females and in the care of their young and their young's ability to thrive. Let's show some data: Houdini's skin biopsy results, prepared by C. Norman Evans, DVM, at 4.5 years of age are as follows: "His 15x scan shows fiber clusters mostly uniform in shape and placement but irregular in size. Houdini's true density is 82.93 follicles SQ MM of skin while 25 fiber clusters show an average S/P of 10.2 to 1. He shows level 3 of 4 glands which should relate to fiber brightness and appears to be a genetic trait passed from the male to their offspring. Less that 10% of Houdini's secondary fibers show medullation which should relate to excellent handle. 100 secondary fibers average 21.3 microns while 50 primary fivers average only 26.1 microns for a variation of only 4.8 microns. Houdini's fiber stats place him in the top 1% of huacaya males that I have tested." Proudly Co-ownded with Crossed Arrows Alpacas Check out Houdini's outstanding pedigree including well known great producers on his top side like Bravado, Bueno, Hemingway and on the bottom in color like Maverick and Matador!

This girl is the type of alpaca you dream of when you plan a breeding. We bred our Hemingway line girl with the amazing Raspberry Hills White Russian (Grand Alero / Grand Master) and were rewarded with Petra. We can't find a thing wrong with her conformation and the fleece - well that needs to be seen! She can move your breeding program to the next level. Add all that to her sweet demure personality, she's could be the best thing to come to your farm. Petra delivered her first cria in May 2011 and I've never seen a cria grow so quickly. Talk about a rich milk machine. Petra is a great mom, attentive but easy to work with her and her cria. Her second breeding was with Lacy Acre's Chaos. The resulting cria was a female that looks just like her, and at her first show she came home with the Blue! May 2015 - Petra just delivered a spectacular white male cria out of Alpaca Palace's Houdini. Can't wait to see how this boy develops! June 2017 - Petra gave us another white boy. He's strong and looks like he'll have nice fleece. He was tipped at just a week old, so it was too early to tell, but she has yet to disappoint!

Description

We purchased this Houdini breeding several years ago, but a few attempts didn't work out, so we took one of our favorite producers, Petra out for the breeding. Once and done, Petra came home pregnant and had a completely problem free pregnancy - and delivery. We knew this one would be white, or would have been surprised if he wasn't! What surprised us on the day we tipped him was the huge extra folds of skin on his neck and shoulder area. This boy is going to be DENSE! He is built like a little Sherman Tank. Standing shorter than the other crias born at the same time, this guy has at least 20 or more pounds on them! He stands solid as a rock. Each time his Juvie fleece was shown in 2016, it did better than the last ending the season with 2 firsts and a championship. He also won 2 youth championships in 2016 at PAOBA and MAPACA. He was selected to represent the alpaca industry in PA at the 2017 PA Farm Show where he and his youth handler met Governor Wolf! Mike has a few girls confirmed pregnant in the fall of 2020. We sadly lost Mike to an unresolved issue with kidney stones. He was always one of my favorite alpacas, kind to humans and alpacas, never a problem and always willing to endure my hugs. Luckily, 2 of the breedings we did produced offspring after Mikey's passing. Always in my heart - R.I.P. Magic Mike.
