Reserve Champion
Gem State's Bolero
HuacayaHerdsire (Male)White
AOA# 32125467DOB: 8/10/201113 yrs
Over the 7 years that we have been breeding alpacas, there has been a disproportionate number of females - males born on our farm; 17 males to 8 females to be exact. Admittedly, it was a bit frustrating to produce only one female per year, but we have been blessed with some incredibly nice males too. Bolero is a perfect example. His dam is our Archangel daughter that at 5yrs of age still has an AFD 20.6, CV 19.7 and %30-2.3. His sire, Snowmass Inspiration, was sporting an AFD 23.2, CV 21.5 at 6yrs of age. Bolero got the best of both parents. His fleece is outrageously soft with zipper crimp and micro-bundling that literally extends down his leg fiber. He is very typey with full coverage from his head to his toes and has a very correct, compact frame.
**UPDATE** I just finished skirting Bolero's 2014 fleece and it is amazing! Still super fine, with beautiful character and brightness. The judges agreed as Bolero came home with a blue and RC at IAO this spring! If you are interested in adding his genetics to your program give us a call - we are happy to send fleece samples.
CONGRATULATIONS to Ben, Kristi and family of Mac Paca Farm for their purchase of this magnificent herdsire! We wish you many happy, healthy champion cria.
