A stunning jet black male, Marcus has the "show ring" look that catches judges' attention. His carriage and attitude speak volumes about his potency as a herd sire, as does his dominant true black lineage. He is beautiful, and he knows it, and makes sure you know it too. Marcus first cria, out of our full peruvian reserve champion Aardwolfs Peruvian Marissa, is more than we could hope for. Alpacalypse Ranch Smokin Ember is a beautiful true black male with the most amazing soft dense fleece! Ember took 2nd place at GWAS 2015, 2nd place at Fall Fest 2015, and 3rd place at National Western Stock show, confirming our belief in Marcus ability to throw awesome cria. UPDATE! Marcus second cria is an elegant, long legged, true black female. Her dam, WRH Jaquelline Du Pre is a bay black, so once again, Marcus shiny black color has proven dominant. Alpacalypse Ranch Meagan was sold before she was weaned. 2016; This year Marcus surprised us with different colors! Jaquelline gave us a bay black female, but two other dams gave us light fawns! They are beautiful, very crimpy, dense, and FINE. They also have Marcus carriage and attitude! They should do well in the show ring. Marcus is not for sale but is available as a herdsire.

Gwendolyn suprised us all when she was born to true black Aardwolfs Peruvian Trinity, and Kokopelli's Song Desperado, a classic dark silver grey male with a predominately grey background. Gwendolyn was born lt fawn with a classic gray color pattern, including white legs and chest, and a darker fawn "crown"! We were again surprised at this years shearing, Gwendolyns fleece was full of red brown fibers, consistently throughout her blanket. Whatever her color, her fleece is typical of the Trinity line, dense, crimpy, bright and wonderful to put your hands in. She is a strong boned long legged girl, who is fast becoming the watchdog and protector her mother taught her to be. Update 2016: Gwendolyn had a stunning fawn male cria that was up and walking after only 10 minutes. He nursed immediately and set out to explore the world, with mom anxiously trying to keep up with him. Hence his name Marco Polo. Gwendolyn is a great mom, very dedicated and always nearby to watch over her cria, which isnt always easy. Marco is just like his dam, a fawn with some dark fibers in his fleece, and the same classic color pattern. Since Gwendolyn seems to be trying hard to produce gray, we decided to help her a bit this year. She is now bred to Annuals Chrome Finish, a classic light silver gray Orlando Cloud son. We cant wait to see what she surprises us with this year! UPDATE!! 2017: Gwendolyn gave us a dark silver gray boy!! This cria is colored like his grandsire Desperado, with an almost black tuxedo pattern. He was up immediately, and running in 30 minutes. He is into everything and by his 2nd day had escaped twice, through gaps in the gates. It didn't bother him at all to be alone away from his mother and he was on the driveway when we found him. (Gwendolyn however, was climbing the fence!) We have already had interest from another farm in a future breeding. Gwendolyn is selling as a fiber girl and herd watch dog. She is not a breeder. She is every bit the herd protector her mother is, and is first to the fence to defend her herd. She still has fabulous fiber and should have for years to come.

Description

Marco Polo is his name, because he was up and wandering 10 minutes after he was born. In an hour he had nursed and was trying to run. His mom was constantly stressed trying to keep an eye on him, as he showed no fear and went wherever his heart took him. Nine months later he is running the yearling boys pen, gets the choicest foods and checks out anything new in the pen first. We had to wean him at 6 months because he was becoming very adept at trying to breed the girls in the moms pen. He was able to get seasoned adult females to kush!! He has VERY fine fiber, with high frequency "zipper" crimp and long staple. He is a light fawn, but like his mother, he has the classic gray pattern with a white chest, legs and face, and a "crown" on his head. His mothers fleece is now showing dark red fibers in it. Marco has lots of classic gray in his background. Will he throw grays? Only time will tell. This boy has a dominant personality, is extremely intelligent, is very friendly and inquisitive, and has a natural show ring presence, like his sire. His activities and adventures keep everyone constantly entertained. Ranch visitors stop and watch him by the hour. He is an exceptional animal personality. Im excited to see if the rest of him keeps up with his personality! So far, so good!
