Oh YES he can produce solid and multi cria! We first saw Tach at the 2009 Breeder's Choice Auction and his fleece was phenomenal! We watched as he went on to do very nice things for his new owners so when the chance to own half interest in him became available we were quick to take advantage. He is a multi but if you are paying attention multis are hot, hot, hot right now! If you are into spots and multis Tachometer can definitely deliver. He can however, produce some stellar solid fleece as well. Take a look at his daughter Carma or his son Dublin! He has produced champion offspring. Tach has perfect phenotype. His fleece is elite. He is both very fine and very dense while maintaining that wonderful architecture to this fleece. It is hard to produce fleece this elite while being both incredibly fine AND incredibly dense. We own his multi champion grandson Dyno and love him. We cannot wait to see the offspring he produces for us! Tachometer is a multiple champion himself with highly sought after genetics. If you want to bring stellar fleece to your cria give a breeding to Tachomter consideration. The first Tach cria bred on our farm has arrived and he is a gorgeous SOLID brown boy! We are very pleased with him. Tach cria #2 is Tachometer Mini-Me! Beautiful cria! Both of these cria seem to have inherited that beautiful Tachometer fleece! Looking forward to watching these two grow! We could possibly have a harlequin from a Tach breeding to our harlequin Tia!! Gorgeous cria with incredible fleece! Give Tach a try for any of your girls. You won't be disappointed! Proudly co-owned with Keva Ranch.

OH MY IS THIS ONE CUTE ALPACA! Tia always draws the attention of folks at shows and visitors to the farm. She is that rare harlequin alpaca that is born with fawn fleece only to reveal lovely grey at the first shearing. She has a beautifully spotted face. Tia is full of spunk and solid as a rock. Her fleece has crimp from skin to tip. Take a look at her ARI and you will see about every color on the color card. You will also see some of the top names in the industry listed such as Snowmass Andean Bronze, Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, Snowass Royal Flush and Snowmass Ovation as well as 5Peruvian Silverado on her dams side. The sire's side brings in PPeruvian Timoteo, PPPeruvian Cornus, DPA Quetzal, My Peruvian Zuleika, Mr. Butterscoth and Zephyrus as well as PPeruvian Pluro. Really a genetic powerhouse. When we attended the Magical Farms sale each year our daughter would spy the cutest leopard spotted cria in the pasture and beg us to buy it. Year after year the pairing of Quetzal and Zuleika produced these lovely cria. Tia is a descendant of that pairing and we jumped at the chance to bring her to our farm. She is co-owned with our daughter. Tia just keeps knocking it out of the park! She has delivered one stellar cria after another. So far she has delivered a harlequin, a pinto, a solid black and a fawn with black points. All have had lovely fleece. Tia has definitely earned her place as one of our top dams on the farm. Tia has now been bred to Red Granites Man of Mystery!! Thanks to Ann?ie Hunt for allowing us to breed to him. We expect an extremely dense cria with tons of architecture to its fleece! To say we are excited for this cria would be an understatement!! Wow!! Tia has delivered a gorgeous 20 pound female from her pairing with Man of Mystery!! This gal will be one to keep an eye on if you have a pattern or harlequin breeder. She is fawn but has lighter fawn spots. Could she be a light harlequin like her daddy? With 2 harlequin parents could she be homozygous? Love, Love this cria!! Thank you Tia for continuing to give us beautiful cria!!

Description

This guy!! Oh My! Just what we ordered from our pairing of Tia and Tachometer. We knew Tach could produce solid and multi but what could he do with a harlequin? This guy is rock solid. He is bigger than most of the cria that are older than him. Hercules seemed the most appropriate name for him. His conformation is spot on but his fleece...… it does not disappoint! He's very dense, fine and displays excellent crimp. He did not get his cria tips shorn so by show season it may be pulling the crimp out but this is a show worthy fleece. Color? Well he's fawn but I keep checking at the skin I am seeing gray in the neck and moving down!!! Yeah! Can't wait to get this shorn and see if we have a harlequin gray under there. His coloring is very much like his mother's was at a young age. Update: Finally got that cria fleece off him. While I wouldn't call him gray at this time he is definitely MUCH darker and his neck is gray. I really think he will continue to darker and turn gray. We are just over the moon in love with this guy! Yeah! His first show weekend with dual shows - 1st in Illinois Alpaca & Fiber Fest ring under Sharon Loner 1st and Best of Bred & Owned in The Rail Splitter ring under Peter Kennedy who definitely appreciates an appy. His blue streak continued at Buckeye where he took a blue in bred and owned. Love this guy!!! Hercules had a great first show season! He certainly did not disappoint us. He always draws attention from folks because of his striking color and inquisitive nature. Have I said how much we LOVE this guy? :)
