Ripple Effect was not much of a surprise really. What would you expect when you pair a Futurity Champion Male with a Legacy Gold Daughter? We expected a knock out with extreme longevity of quality and that is exactly what we got. This is very, very close to the exact same genetic crossings that created TKO’s King of the Ladies and we all know what damage he has done to the show ring! Even today at 4 years old Ripple Effect looks as good if not better than he looked at 1 year old. Virtually no Primary fibers to speak of, fleece still showing outstanding stapling, density, fineness and crimp. Every time I walk into the barn he catches my eye! Now not only does he distract me but his first three cria at Hilltop are equally eye catching, one of them might just be the best baby we have had here at Hilltop and that is saying a lot. Ripple Effect is a male that has the genotype and the phenotype to push our proud partners at K-Ran Alpacas, Hilltop Alpacas and any farm that is lucky enough to have one of his breedings to the next level. The Judge’s have decorated him with lots of purple banners and we are feeling pretty positive that his progeny will follow suit.

Lady has been one of our favorite foundation females. She has given us beautiful crias and will make a great addition to your herd.
