Starquest's Rocketman ("Rocky" as we call him) was one of 6 white males born here on the farm in 2010. We knew within the first week he was going to be special, and it feels good to be right! Rocky represents Excellence in every category. Take a look below- - Pedigree. Rocky's sire is Snowmass Starquest- 2003 AOBA Champion and Futurity Reserve Champion. Starquest brings Augusto, Vengador, Navidad, and Isabella. Rocky's dam is our own Blossom of Snow. This Snowmass Perfection daughter has been a consistent producer of elite fleeced offspring that maintain fineness into adulthood. - Progeny- Rocky's first offspring, a female out of an Accoyo America Ulysses daughter born 10/2013, is DENSE, DENSE. As she has grown we are seeing excellent organization in a fleece that is extremely bright and fine. ******She just won the Reserve Color Championship in the white class at CABA 2015!********* Rocky's cria from 2014 are nothing short of spectacular- excellent density levels, high curvature character, and a very high degree of fineness. If you are looking to infuse lasting fineness with consistency and bring density as well as a high frequency/low amplitude (think zipper crimp) crimp style, then strongly consider introducing Rocketman to your girls and see the results and improvement first hand. Fleece samples available upon request. Combine his 5 year histogram, EPD stature, consistency seen across his first group of offspring from a variance of dams, and his genetic depth- a move from our farm to yours is a solid and worthwhile investment. With our move to sell the herd, we can easily say Rocky has all the superior qualities in a stud- he has routinely stamped superior and sustained fineness in his offspring, along with stamping his head that he inherited from his sire, Snowmass Starquest. An astute breeder will recognize his potency and investment.

Producing excellence time and again

Laureate was one of our first purchases when we started in this great industry in 2006. She's certainly one of our older dams now, but is still producing absolutely superior offspring. Check out her 2014 cria Lyra. We would love to see Laureate go to a home where she will be well cared for, and perhaps be bred a couple more times to repeat her genetics. The one constant we have seen with Laureates offspring is density and fineness. Just what astute breeders are looking for.

Congratulations to Mike and Nancy Brletic of Simple Life Farms for their purchase of Magic Man. He is an amazing male will no doubt produce next generation elite cria!! Magic is what happened when we crossed our Archangel daughter, CCNF Evita with a Nautilus son, Accoyo America Tempest. All we can say is holy cow! - just take a look at his pic's! Magic Man was just weaned and already weighs a solid 80lbs. His fleece is phenomenal with superior organization and architecture - the bundling in his fiber is just amazing and it bundles in his tail, his neck and even his legs. He is extremely bright with a fineness and handle that just might be better than his older 1/2 brother Tupac (thank you Evita!) - and that's saying something indeed! At 6 months old he already has a staple length of 4". His dam is our own CCNF Evita. Check out her page to see how her contribution to this boy is equally as impressive as his sires. His sire, Accoyo America Tempest, is out of the notorious Nautilus - one of the cornerstone males in Greg Mecklems breeding program. The skin biopsy results for Tempest were fantastic and one of the big factors we chose him as herdsire for 2 of our top dams. Take a look at his results; "The results of his skin biopsy (Watt) are EXCELLENT!! At 43 months: Density 63/mm2, Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 13.3:1 Primary fiber diameter 23.9 Secondary fiber diameter 15.9. Ian Watt points out that, "he has an excellent fiber population differential of only 8 microns. ...a superior fiber for a near four year old working male. " BREAKING NEWS: For 2011 Tempest sheared 15 pounds total, with a blanket weight of 4.9 pounds!!" Check out Tempest's EPDs: AFD -1.447, SDAFD -0.1, SF-1.276, %F>30 -4.19, MC 5.22, SDMC2.028, %M-2.623 Magic Man has a pedigree loaded with alpaca royalty and a fleece that embodies the best traits of those that came before him.

Description

Lyra is another female that was going to represent our next generation of alpacas. The decision to sell our herd was not an easy one. Lyra does represent the focus of our breeding program- low micron sustained with high curvature and consistency accross the fleece. Lyra's two year histogram was- AFD- 14.4, SD- 3.7, % over 30- 0.4, with a curve of 53.8. She is carrying this amazing DENSE fleece on a stout and well balanced frame. Lyra's sire is simply our best- Rocky. The dam side is Laureate- one of our first purchases that has produced multi-champion Amalaya, Ribbon winner Cinnarun (sold), among other outstanding offspring. Lyra should have been shown, but our timing last year did not allow us to travel with the alpacas. Consistent with our asking price for other two year old females, her price does not reflect our thoughts on her value or potential. We simply need to sell the herd. She is bred to our very own Magic Man who has since been sold and standing stud in Mountain Home Idaho. This pairing will enhance the amazing qualities Lyra already brings to the table. Take a look at the service sire's page and his EPD #'s below. This cria should be "wow".
