What can I say about Ivy - she is a lot of alpaca packed into a small frame. Ivy continues to amaze us; in 2013; at the age of 7, her micron count was still at 23.6 with a standard deviation of 3.8 and she was named one of AOA's Top 5 EPD Trait Leaders for SDAFD and was in the top 1 % for the traits %F>30 and MC and the Top 10% for the traits AFD, SF and SDMC. In 2014, at age 8, she missed being in the Top 5 for SDAFD by 1 - she was #6 - but was in the Top 1% for SDAFD, %F>30 and MC and again in the Top 10% AFD, SF, SDMC and %M and at age 9 in 2015 had again been named a Top 5 Trait Leader for SDAFD, and continued to be in the Top 1% for %F>30; and the Top 10% for AFD, MC, SF & %M.
Now currently at the age of 10 years Ivy is still going strong! She is currently #18 out of 39,442 alpacas in SDAFD placing her at the Top 1%, she also remains in the Top 1% for %F>30 and is in the Top 10% for AFD, SF, MC, and SDMC.
Ivy's genetics are very rare and very sought after in this Country. Ivy's dam was Peruvian Gianna who had a history for producing elite quality cria. Ivy's sire is Alpha Antonio, from Canada and, although he's never been shown himself, he is the sire of multiple ribbon winners in Canada and the USA. At the 2008 Alpaca Ontario show he was awarded 4th of 16 in the Get of Sire class and he is the sire of AGA Sigourney who was awarded Supreme Champion Huacaya Female over 110 other females!! Alpha Antonio is the product of two renowned Jolimont Peruvian imports, his sire Alpa Mayo said to have had the "greatest impact of any stud in Canada on the National Herd and Peruvian Anna a full Alianza, with several grand champion progeny.
