Steady progress is occurring here at Colusa Riverside in the goal to produce the industry finest fibered alpacas. We strive to promote every animal's potential & stud pairing to pass on improved fiber traits to each and every offspring. Visit us virtually or in person to buy, learn or see our alpacas and their EPDS. Catarina has given us 5 offspring, all without any complications in breeding, gestation and birthing. She is being offered to a new owner several years of production of quality alpacas at a reasonable price point. Cat's EPD picture is very nice. She has excellent values in all the right fiber traits for showing and breeding improvement in offspring. The majority of her EPD for fiber traits are in the 5% to 10% ranking nationally. Cat's histogram for 2018 matches her EPD picture with consistency of fineness through her age of 14 years. Take a look at her latest histogram trait values. Cat is now bred to Snow Diamond Chateau Cerise. His EPD picture is ideal, with low percentages in all traits across the EPD spectrum. The offspring of this pairing will be show ready. Lots of genetic lineage in this dam. She has lineage of Hemingway, El Nino, and Caliente. Chateau has Accoyo Elite, Quechua up & down, and Matrix. Catarina definitely has size, conformation and good bone, an excellent phenotype structurally as a production dam. Cat is a dam that gentle and easy to handle. She is a great mother with many cria to show it. Catarina has given us "Keep the Faith" who is now giving us offspring that are truly ideal. Hence, Catarina can bring now bring you the kinds of quality alpacas she has given us.

Description

This female brings together Mom's lineage of Caliente and Dad's Lineage of Hemingway. She will prove to be a promising foundation dam for us or for a lucky buyer. Faith's dam Catarina has density and fineness and so does her sire. Mom Catarina, has one of the most well rounded genetic pictures for trait improvement in our herd and also when much better than the national herd. Faith has this same well rounded histogram and EPD trait profile. Her EPD for staple length is a rank of 20%. So, in combination with her fineness values in the 5% to 15% ranges this makes an ideal fiber character trait she will pass on to her offspring. Hemingway's Bogart stamps all of his offspring with longevity of fineness. Dam Caterina at age 13 is 23 microns for AFD. Bogart's AFD at age 19 is 22, SD of 4 and the same CV. This is longevity Faith has no doubt inherited. Faith's fiber is extremely fine, she has excellent staple length, her luster and handle are also nice. She is quite dense with few guard hairs. You can see from her fleece pictures on this page she has luster, broad crimp, staple bundles, and good density. Faith is the whole package from both actual fiber trait quality and the genetic predictability to pass those favorable traits to her offspring. Faith is presently bred to our new Stud Snow Diamond Chateau Cerise. Chateau's will improve her offspring even more. Faith is an easy breeder at age 4 years. Faith is 3rd generation in our breeding program of white alpacas. Her EPD picture is very desirable for a foundation dam. I am especially pleased with the fineness traits with no loss of staple length. It is very difficult to get grade 1 fineness and excellent staple length together, we have been breeding for that combination over the past 5 years. This combination is now present in our new stud Chateau Cerise and in most of our farms offspring. Take a look at her EPDs under the strand of DNA link on this page.
