Iron is back in our pastures for semi retirement.. we will have from time to time progeny and potentially bred females for sale. One of his female offspring we kept in our breeding program is the dam of the 2023 AOA Grey Fleece Color Champion.. AND she is Harlequin.. so we thought maybe we should eek a few more cria out.. inquiries welcome. 2015 Histograms just in! AFD 24.7 SD 4.5 CV 18.1 CV 89.7 Curve 36.4 at FIVE YEARS OLD!!! What can I say - when Dee Sousa ran up to me at the bar at the 2011 Futurity and said "wanna go in on Iron!!!" how could I say NO... and so the story began - we had the winning bid and we took this little weanling home with us. His full sister sold that day for over $80,000.... we KNEW we had a winner - we just had to wait while he grew up. And grow up he did - winning a number of championships along the way including a sweep at IAO 2012 winning the Grey Male COMMERCIAL Halter Championship and Reserve Grey Male COTTAGE Fleece Championship - A fleece good for BOTH divisions!! And THIS YEAR SPINNERS DREAM IAO 2013 - The top award in the Cottage Fleece division! So yeah - he has WON a whole rack of ribbons for us, but really? What I am excited about is his fantastic fineness and the consistency of that fineness thru out his fleece and colored fibers - they are ALL fine... beautiful hand, stocky bone, BEST HEAD IAO 2011!! so yeah - really nice head too.. and all that color... and all those ever so famous ancestors - what a pedigree this boy has - very deep - very proven.. I simply can't wait to get MY first offspring on the ground - he is going to ROCK our colored huacaya breeding program. Check out his pedigree, look over his winnings.. if you had a chance to get look at his fleece while he was on our show string! Well you KNOW its good. We have 2 of his offspring in our foundation APPY herd. He is listed for sale for the first time! Since we are only breeding for APPY now in our huacayas.

GREAT DAM! GREAT PRODUCER YEAR AFTER YEAR! Penelope has been a great producer for us and her cria sell themselves. She has a beautiful blue-gray blanket that is virtually spot free. Her conformation is spot on. Her sire, Legend's Challenger of KPR, is a top gray sire that has produced champion after champion. Her pedigree is loaded with gray icons on both sides! Penelope is currently bred to A Paca Fun's Sonic Shift, our "game changer" at Heart & Soul, who was the densest gray male ever tested by Alpaca Consulting Services as of 2017. All of her cria are striking to look at from day 1. They are solid and strong and she is a great dam with lots of milk. Penelope is an easy keeper and has had no health issues, ever. We hate to part with this girl, but you cannot keep them all. Her May 2019 cria is knocking our socks off! We can't wait to see who she produces next! We believe our success is in the success of our clients!!!

Congratulations and thank you to Dian and Steve Trainer, from Flatland Ranch in Rose Hill, Kansas, for their purchase of Patagonia’s BACCUS! PATAGONIA'S BACCUS Baccus' sire is our magnificent Multi-Champion Lennox son, Patagonia’s Ernesto. His dam, Patagonia’s Marcialla was assessed by Amanda VandenBosch as an A-. We love the crias Baccus has sired for us and are thrilled he has 100% returned to produce true black crias with density, terrific compact bodies, passing on his sire’s gorgeous head in black with long staple length, bright crimp going way into the belly for consistency in micron and length. At almost 5 years old, Cheryl Gehly assessed Baccus' fiber at 24-26 micron, with amazing brightness and uniformity of micron, nice crimp and character. Amanda VandenBosch assessed Baccus as A/A-. Amanda marked Baccus above average on all accounts of conformation, body score, and fiber! Extremely Dense: Baccus’ shearing weight was a whopping 13 pounds. His head type, and substance of bone are all amazingly strengths for this good natured proven male! Soft handle! Check out these Incredible Genes!
