Thank you Russ and Brenda Wyler of Crossed Arrows Alpacas located in Velma, Oklahoma for purchasing 1/2 interest in Alpaca Palace's Houdini! We are excited about our new partnership! Houdini will be settling females in Oklahoma leaving PA in October returning in April to Butler, PA. WHOA! Our Bred and Born Treasure, Alpaca Place Houdini's 1/2 interest being offered! What an opportunity to get in on THE PREPOTENT Sire that throws COLOR and gets all the credit for Alpaca Palace's existance!!! What else were we to do with an incredible male like this? He has produced multiple Champions and numerous ribbon winners. His offspring are cookie cutter consistent. He passes on his extreme brightness, fineness, high frequency character, consistency throughout the fleece and his Extreme DENSITY and BRIGHTNESS. Houdini produces color about 70% of the time when bred to color. Add that to the fact that Houdini also greatly improves conformation which gives the advantage of breeding to an average quality female his ability to leap generations in quality of his offspring. His crias have beautiful heads, square frames, straight legs and great width of chest and rump. When comparing his offspring's fleeces, they are very easy to identify because of their brightness, fineness, consistent character and style. His crias are very vibrant and quick to stand and nurse at birth. They are smart and easy to train. His daughters are GREAT moms, easy birthers with lots of milk and wonderful mothering instincts. As breeders, this is what we all wish for in breeding seed stock foundation females and in the care of their young and their young's ability to thrive. Let's show some data: Houdini's skin biopsy results, prepared by C. Norman Evans, DVM, at 4.5 years of age are as follows: "His 15x scan shows fiber clusters mostly uniform in shape and placement but irregular in size. Houdini's true density is 82.93 follicles SQ MM of skin while 25 fiber clusters show an average S/P of 10.2 to 1. He shows level 3 of 4 glands which should relate to fiber brightness and appears to be a genetic trait passed from the male to their offspring. Less that 10% of Houdini's secondary fibers show medullation which should relate to excellent handle. 100 secondary fibers average 21.3 microns while 50 primary fivers average only 26.1 microns for a variation of only 4.8 microns. Houdini's fiber stats place him in the top 1% of huacaya males that I have tested." Proudly Co-ownded with Crossed Arrows Alpacas Check out Houdini's outstanding pedigree including well known great producers on his top side like Bravado, Bueno, Hemingway and on the bottom in color like Maverick and Matador!

Grand River Glamorous is a stunning, non-fading jet black daughter of multichampion herdsire Dark Shaddow who sadly has recently retired from breeding. She has a presence that makes her stand out above the rest. Her conformation is excellent and her fleece very fine and bright with a high amplitude, high frequency style crimp. She has a very pleasing phenotype, stong top knot and coverage to her toes. She had her first cria on 07/15/10, a Beautiful Bay Black Male, Alpaca Palace's Blackout Stout. We have nicknamed her the "Milk Machine" for her abundance of milk. She has turned into a very maternal female taking interest in all our new cria. She had a beautiful healthy true black female cria 9/12/12, who was sired by MFI Peruvian Georgetown, Alpaca Palace's Ebony Empress.

Superior fineness is the trait that just jumps out at you in this male. Striking brightness, zipper crimp and perfect structure, Snowmass Solar Paramount has such a strong body structure that it draws attention immediately when he enters the ring.

His dam Snowmass Solar Flare sired by Snowmass XXXtreme. Snowmass Solar Paramount, a male with a solid future ahead of him. Ranked 51 out of 19,000 in micron in 2015, you will want to add this male's crias to your breeding program. In 2016, he is ranked 157 out of 21,000, remaining in the top 1% of epds. Solar Paramount's first crop of cria have hit the ground in 2017. They are spectacular and showing very advanced fleece characteristics. He has thrown crias in all colors including black and grey. Thank you and Congratulations to D.L Farms (Dee and Adria Graham) on your purchase of Snowmass Solar Paramount. We look to seeing the lasting impact he will have on your herd.
