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.

Sometimes words cannot describe an animal well enough. Wow, stunning, spectacular are all words we would use to describe Ebony Gold. When you break it all down, she is well worth any price we could put on her... Lineage- We were fortunate enough to buy her dam, TGF Olympic Sky, from Ryen and Ursula Munro at the 2008 AOBA show. After completing a great show career, we were then lucky enough to breed her to Snowmass Royal Challanger. Combining the lines of Legacy Gold and Royal Challanger were not only exciting, but proven by Tripping Gnome. Show record- Judges Helen Humphreys, Wade Gease, and Tim Lavan all commented the same- incredible coverage, holding excellent fineness, compact, stout frame, excellent character to her fleece. The high placing ribbons Ebony received were a reflection of those comments. Fiber- Ebony's 2nd year histogram results confirmed what we were feeling- lingering fineness. Both her dam and her sire demonstrated these same qualities well into age. Also take note of the low percentage of fibers over 30%- not bad at all for a dark color. Ebony is confirmed pregnant to Patagonia's Antonio. A multi-champion and well respected stud, we can't wait to see what these two produce! The astute breeder that elects to purchase Ebony will not only be obtaining our best Brown female, but will be rewarded with a confirmed breeding to Patagonia's Antonio- a mulit-champion powerhouse.
