Full ownership in Orlando is now available. See Orlando in motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSagJk4leNs How many gray herdsires are out there who have produced offspring winning over 80 BANNERS, over 160 BLUE RIBBONS, and still producing CHAMPIONS? Orlando Cloud is a stunning male who has without a doubt helped boost the quality of gray huacayas to new heights. So often a male shines for a few years, and then is overtaken by higher quality. Not so with Orlando. In 2008 his offspring began winning top honors, and since then at almost every large show his offspring, and now grand kids and great grand kids, continue to bring home banners and blues. Gray Alpaca Co. recently had four Orlando offspring in a row, and this group is simply outstanding. We can't wait to see them in the show ring. At the October Empire Extravaganza in Syracuse, NY, his offspring won two CHAMPIONSHIPS, including Gray Championship in fleece, and a RESERVE CHAMPIONSHIP, along with 4 Blue Ribbons. He continues to stamp out high quality crias. Orlando's accomplishments are many, and he was named HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR 2013, and 2014. This award is based on the number of points accrued by winning offspring at MAPACA, to date the largest show in 2013. Here is the new standard for gray! Orlando stands above the rest with his consistent, dense architecture from his tail to his topknot. The judges have raved about this male from the time he hit the show circuit, and his offspring are now following in his footsteps with multiple Championships and Reserve Championships. When bred to gray or black his cria's colors have been primarily gray, and he has also shown the ability to throw gray out of fawn. Orlando's stud fee is $5,000, with generous discounts for drive by breedings. For details please contact Nancy at [email protected] or Jeff at [email protected]. Offspring Show Wins Update: Orlando offspring were first shown in 2008, and to date they have won over 80 Color Championships/ Reserve Championships, and over 160 Blue Ribbons! See Orlando's website: www.orlandocloud.com Co-owned with our friends at Faraway Farm and Four Points Alpacas.

Description

Ringo needs little introduction - with 23 Championships and 2 Judges' Choice Awards his quality is indisputable! At 8 months old, Ringo wowed the judge at his first show, the Southern Select in Tennessee. He came in 1st in his class of 14, and went on to win Reserve Championship. That trend continued on for 3 years, winning championships in 2011, 2012 and 2013 before finally retiring to a full-time breeding career. When we selected Ringo to add to our herdsire lineup, we were looking for: -- Superior fleece                             -- Great EPDs -- Great conformation                       -- Grey genetics -- Proven, champion offspring           -- Great personality Ringo brings every one of those aspects to the table. Ringo has shiny, crimpy, dense fleece from nose to toes, and he has the "look at me" presence that sets him apart. Along with his fine, dense fleece, you get great staple length and architecture with high frequency, high amplitude crimp. Then to top it off he has a beautiful head and great proportion and style...and he has a great personality to match! A strong breeder with plenty of "macho" yet he can be put in with young boys and gets along with the other older guys as well. An early histogram for Ringo gave the following in 2009: 16.9 AFD, 4.1 SD, 100% CF. Six plus years later, he posted the following in 2016: 22.9 AFD, 4.9 SD, 91.4% CF and a curvature of 70! Great numbers for a male who already had ~65 cria on the ground! During his show career, he was instrumental in helping his silver grey sire, Orlando Cloud (one of the elite grey males with enormous impact on the grey huacaya breeding world), win Herdsire of the Year at MAPACA in 2013 & 2014 with his back-to-back championships in fawn at those shows. However, none of his accomplishments matter unless he can pass on his excellence! Not only does he post great numbers himself, have a look at his 2017 EPDs! He is solid across the board in expected progeny improvement. To say that Championships run in his blood is an understatement. Check out his relatives: Ringo has produced multiple Champion offspring (24 banners so far) and ribbon winners galore (175+ ribbons so far, including 72 blues) in a variety of colors! Epic Alpacas proudly co-owns Ringo Cloud with Asgard Acres and Alpacas of the Alleghenies.
