Chieftain's Highland Monarch

Alpaca, Huacaya, Herdsire (Male) | Light Fawn

AOA #32292350 | DOB: 6/15/2011 (13 yrs)

Sire: Lancaster's Highland Chieftain

We are very excited to partner with Thordarson farms in adding this amazing male to our herdsire row! Thank you for this opportunity Highland Alpaca! From Highland Alpaca: BIG NEWS!! Chieftain returned to the PAOBA Breedes Showcase with four offspring that took blue ribbons and TWO Championship banners! In 2009 Chieftain was the Color Champion at the PAOBA Breeders Showcase...and Judge's Choice! With a Color Champion in brown...the oldest one in the championship class...and a Reserve Champion in fawn...the youngest, Chieftain demonstrated he has color, fineness, and density covered. Did we mention he was also the Get of Sire winner...go Chieftain! Another Blue. Chieftain has a strong, square frame with soft, bright fiber everywhere. Want crimp? He has it from his top knot literally down to his knees! His dam is our finest fibered colored female and his sire is the legend-in-the-making Six time Color Champion Peruvian Lancaster. What a great match-up this was for color and fiber! Chieftain's numbers from his 2007 histogram are MOST impressive, and even more impressive is his ability to maintain those wonderful fiber stats. Chieftain has earned Blue ribbons and Banners as a juvenile, yearling, and mature male. With seventeen Blues he has been judged by just about everyone and all agree...this is one awesome male. Chieftain has proven his ability to maintain his outstanding fleece characteristics even as a breeding male. During the Spring 2009 show season, he added two Color Championships (PAOBA and MAPACA), one Reserve Color Championship (Nationals), and the Judge's Choice Award at PAOBA. Judge Mike Safley compared him to a juvenile for the Championship at MAPACA and declared him the finest in the class. What a great compliment for a three year old! This is a herdsire you will want to breed to both your dark and light colors for fineness, density, and crimp. Judges put him at the front of the line for his combination of fineness and density. Isn't that what <--description-->

Dam: Highland Caledonia

Banner winner

Highland Caledonia

HuacayaBred (Female)Light Fawn

AOA# 30918351DOB: 9/26/200717 yrs

Caledonia has produced three fine fibered males for us...which would not be something to write home about except that one of those males is our multiple banner and blue ribbon winner Highland Monarch, and the other two males had AFD's in the 17 range out of two different males. We believe that is an indication of Cali's quality as a production female. This year she is bred to Andean Gold...THE Andean Gold who won the AFCNA Fleece award as a Mature male and added another banner when most males have long ago ceased to be impressive. Andean Gold is out of Santana, our first, original herdsire who began our breeding program, so this was a sentimental breeding decision for us in addition to the outstanding qualities Andean Gold has added to his offspring. Combined with Cali's award winning fleece, outstanding genetics, and production record, she is in the upper tier of our production females. Her most recent cria, Highland Talisker, is another fine fibered light fawn out of Charles P. Atlas and is included in Cali's purchase price. Again, this is Cali's first time on the sales list as we downsize our herd. If you are looking for an easy keeper, good producer, and excellent Mom, Cali is one to seriously consider.

Description

The Monarch...a special name for a very special male! With banner winning dam and sire, it's no surprise that Monarch inherited the fiber and conformation that led him to be undefeated in his first year in the show ring and accolades from five different judges. Winning the Reserve Color banner at MAPACA, one of the largest fleece shows in the country was an affirmation of the high regard we have for everything about Monarch. His personality, his conformation, his genetics, his fiber...all speak of quality and the characteristics a breeder wants in a male. His sire is the incomparable Lancaster's Highland Chieftain...one of the most awarded males on the United States east coast and producer of dense, crimpy, fine fleeced cria. We believe Monarch is one of his best, and offer him for breeding with the confidence he will be a huge asset to a farm looking to add all of his outstanding qualities to their breeding program. His first cria will be in the show ring in 2017.
