Iron is back in our pastures for semi retirement.. we will have from time to time progeny and potentially bred females for sale. One of his female offspring we kept in our breeding program is the dam of the 2023 AOA Grey Fleece Color Champion.. AND she is Harlequin.. so we thought maybe we should eek a few more cria out.. inquiries welcome. 2015 Histograms just in! AFD 24.7 SD 4.5 CV 18.1 CV 89.7 Curve 36.4 at FIVE YEARS OLD!!! What can I say - when Dee Sousa ran up to me at the bar at the 2011 Futurity and said "wanna go in on Iron!!!" how could I say NO... and so the story began - we had the winning bid and we took this little weanling home with us. His full sister sold that day for over $80,000.... we KNEW we had a winner - we just had to wait while he grew up. And grow up he did - winning a number of championships along the way including a sweep at IAO 2012 winning the Grey Male COMMERCIAL Halter Championship and Reserve Grey Male COTTAGE Fleece Championship - A fleece good for BOTH divisions!! And THIS YEAR SPINNERS DREAM IAO 2013 - The top award in the Cottage Fleece division! So yeah - he has WON a whole rack of ribbons for us, but really? What I am excited about is his fantastic fineness and the consistency of that fineness thru out his fleece and colored fibers - they are ALL fine... beautiful hand, stocky bone, BEST HEAD IAO 2011!! so yeah - really nice head too.. and all that color... and all those ever so famous ancestors - what a pedigree this boy has - very deep - very proven.. I simply can't wait to get MY first offspring on the ground - he is going to ROCK our colored huacaya breeding program. Check out his pedigree, look over his winnings.. if you had a chance to get look at his fleece while he was on our show string! Well you KNOW its good. We have 2 of his offspring in our foundation APPY herd. He is listed for sale for the first time! Since we are only breeding for APPY now in our huacayas.

Do you know that there are no other offspring from her herdsire the famous Peter Tag No 1010 AKA Peter the Great, from Alpacas by the Sea that are black, except Music? And, is black black black not bay black according to the shearers who have shorn her. For her 2013 cria, we bred Music to NeverSummer's American Iron, a five time champion with amazing genetics, lots of famous ancestors. His pedigree is very deep, very proven. Beyond that he has fantastic fineness and consistency thruout his fleece, beautiful hand, stocky bone, and BEST HEAD IAO 2011!! He's classified as a medium rose gray, but has so many colors in his fleece that it's ike a rainbow! And take a look at Iron's Cria! He's a gorgeous medium brown with black points. And look at him pose for the camera! Oh and the Cria fleece is amazing! We can't wait to see how he grows out. Music's 2012 cria by Peruvian Francisco is a girl. We were hoping for black, but Bella is a light fawn beauty! And look at her pose at the 2013 California Classic. She is already showing great promise! For her 2016 cria we bred Music to Sentinal's Denali, our amazing light rose grey herdsire. Her previous three cria have amazing fiber quality and we expect more of the same from this pairing. She sells with this year's cria in utero and a rebreeding to any unrestricted Menagerie Hill Ranch owned herdsire.
