Exciting News, Blackbeard worn the 2024 Futurity Reserve Champion Herdsire of the Year! 2024 Breeding Special! Buy one Blackbeard breeding and get one for free - yep that $2500 for 2 Blackbeard breedings! This is for a drive by breeding only. I am currently not taking any animals to be boarded. If you are looking for a true black herdsire that improves the damn pretty much 100% of the time, this is the male you should be breeding too! The proof is in his offspring and many happy customers! Blackbeard won the Reserve Black Male Championships at the 2022 AOA National Show (Out of 36 black males) and the 2022 MAPACA Jubilee at almost 10 years old! Amanda Vanderbusch's comments were , "very very impressive", this is what happens when they are put together corrrectly - they hold up over time", and much more. Blackbeard is stamping his powerful frame on all of his offspring which is creating a powerhouse of breeding alpacas! Blackbeard named 2019 Futurity Herdsire of the year in Small Farm division! I could talk about this gorgeous boy forever! Blackbeard has a simply gorgeous head, an incredibly fine, dense fleece with amazing architecture, and talk about coverage everywhere, Wow! Add all that to a male with huge bone and a strong frame and you have yourself a truly unique true black herdsire. He also has a gentle personality as he is extremely easy to handle and work with even since he has been breeding. Blackbeard is passing on these traits to his offspring in a very consistent manner when paired with any female so far. A good friend referred to him as an "Impact Male" due to him putting his stamp on all of his cria. Blackbeard's offspring are on the ground, hitting the shows and collecting banners across the country! Check out some of his amazing offspring on my site and add some of his a babies to your herd. With 110 registered offspring, it is hard to find any of them for sale due to the desirability of his genetics! This is the kind of male that I have dreamed about having in my herd and I feel extremely fortunate and blessed that God sent him my way when he did as he is one crazy amazing boy! Blackbeard's Offspring are hitting the shows and making their mark! Blackbeard currently has 116 Registered Cria - here are the following show results of the ones shown: Color Champion - 10 Reserve Color Champion - 21 First - 80 Second - 73 Third - 70 Fourth - 41 Fifth - 28 Six - 34 and growing!

Description

5X Champion! Argento is a striking young male! He is a gray son of FTAF's Blackbeard (2019 Futurity Herdsire of the Year) and grandson of our Grand River Columbo. His conformation is spot on. He has a beautiful head. His fiber is very fine with excellent architecture. He exhibits very good density. As one walking fleece judge stated. "There really isn't much to improve on here. He is lovely." We agree! He really is a full package. His bloodline is impressive. Blackbeard, Buccaneer, Pot of Gold & Royal Inca Legend! His dam brings in Columbo, Rincon Cloud & Rayo Del Sol. Lots of gray and color. He just brought home the Reserve Championships from the Michigan show in both halter and walking fleece against some very tough competition! Argento is showing well. He just earned another blue and Reserve in the Buckeye Fall Fest. Argento took 2 blue and 2 Color Champions at a double show - Rail Splitter Show and Illinois Alpaca and Fiber Festival under Judges Sharon Loner and Peter Kennedy. LIMITED 5 BREEDINGS AT $500 then his stud fee will increase. We have sold all 5 of the limited breedings at $500 and Argento has started breeding! We have a Certified Fiber Sorter sort our 2020 shearing and Argento scored VERY well. His blanket at 3 years old is a grade 2! The Secondary to Primary ratio is high. A 9 out of 10 on luster, 9 out of 10 on uniformity of crimp and high frequency crimp! Update: Argento is now proven! Proudly Co-owned with Houchin Family Alpacas and Acadiana Alpacas, LLC
