Optimus Prime, or "Prime" around the farm, is a young male that has moved to the top of our "go to" breeding males. We knew when we matched our Champion dam Amalaya to Futurity/AOBA/IAO Champion PC Running Late the outcome could be something very special. This pairing did not disappoint when we received an ultra-fine, dense, light fawn male. Prime is a compact male with a beautiful, high energy fleece. He has a high frequency, high amplitude crimp that is carried from his top knot down to his legs. When his fleece is opened up it reveals organized bundling and an excellent staple length at over 4". His first years histogram speaks for itself and his second years is equally as impressive. His fleece continues to maintain elite fineness, consistency of micron and character throughout the entire blanket, along with above average density. His EPD stats have him ranked : Top 2% for AFD and SF Top 4% for SDAFD He was only shown once in 2012. As the youngest male in the group, he placed a respectable 5th out of 10 alpacas in the class. Judge Wade Gease praised his level of fineness, consistency of character and brightness throughout the fleece, but he was small and stated he needed to mature. By the end of summer he had gained over 20lbs and caught up with the other juvenile males. Primes babies are hitting the ground with gusto this year. He has been bred to everything from white to grey and colors in between. He is letting the dams color come through every time! Every one of his babies have excellent conformation eye popping shine to the fleece and lots of curls.

We are currently consigning this young female for our friends Ron and Cheryl of Paint Brush alpacas. Due to circumstances, they were forced to sell their farm and small herd of amazing colored alpacas. Their elite females, of which Nocci is one, are all that remain and are listed on our site. Ron and Cheryl clearly did their homework and were very selective in choosing the genetic lines that anchored their breeding program. "Nocci" has all the genetics to move a colored breeding program forward. This proven dam is maintaining a beautiful dark brown fleece that displays excellent density, fineness and character. She carries this fleece on a compact and correct frame.

Description

As a cria, we didn't really know what to think of Primed. He was one of those you say to yourself, "well, maybe"? He has definitely surprised us. This boy just keeps getting better and better. He's carrying good density, excellent fineness and beautiful, bright, zippery crimped fleece. His histogram was right up there with the best we had for 2016 too! He brings so many fantastic qualities to the table we couldn't count him out of the potential herdsire category. If I had to ding him on anything it would be that he's a little slighter of frame than we prefer. That said, his fleece is truly bringing it. He is priced to move and afford little to no risk to the farm that gives him a chance. If you'd like a fleece sample just let us know. We can send one your way. Thanks for looking, happy holidays!
