NOW STANDING AT ALPACA PALACE, PENNSYLVANIA, UNTIL LATE FALL 2016. The Lad will catch your eye in a heartbeat. LAD'S FLEECE TESTED AT 18.7 MICRONS WITH A 4.5 SD AT AGE 2!! AGE 8: HOLDING AT 20.2 with a 4.6 SD!! As the youngest in his class of 13, he placed third at the Great Western (06) and then went on to 1st and Color Champion at the ABR Fall Festival (2006). In March 2007, The Lad placed 1st at the Southwest Regional Show and at Texolan he took first and Reserve Color Champion. At Mopaca In January 2008, he was awarded first and Reserve Color Champion. His pen was crowded with admirers and he remains one of the main attractions for visitors to Dundee Farm. At his final show at GWAS, he placed first over a stunning true black Legacy grandson. The Lad's cria micron came it at 18.2 with a comfort factor of 99. By two years of age, it had risen to 18.7. The Lad's 2012 report (age 8) came in at: AFD: 20.2, SD: 4.6, CV: 22.8, >30: 3.1... amazing considering his age and color. His crias first fleeces are coming in from 14.8 to 18.0. He is dense, covered from head to toe to tail with curly, bright, fiber, and has extreme coverage on his remarkable head. He has the classic square bodied conformation and turns heads wherever he goes. The Lad's crias are ALL true black or dark brown. And...now a ROSE GREY out of a rose grey dam. They are winning in the show ring. Harris, owned by Annie's Alpaca Ranch, took a first at both GWAS and AOBA Nationals. Other standouts include Raine and Soldier (a Reserve Champion at 3 years old...MOPACA show, Reserve Champion at Oklahoma, and Champion at Ozarks Show) from Flatland Ranch, and Bonnie and from Manna Meadows.

Conformationally correct, a pleasure to look at, has been the consistent comment from all judges for very "true to type" Alpaca Palace's First Lady. Very "boxy" frame and straight legs with excellent fleece coverage. Her fleece shows broad crimp pattern, dense yet fine, with excellent staple length. First Lady has done extremely well in the show ring receiving first place ribbons at the 2010 AOBA Nationals held in Fort Wayne, IN and 2010 PAOBA Breeders Showcase held in York, PA. We retired First Lady from the showring last fall as she entered breeding age. Alpaca Palace's First Lady was bred to our Alpaca Palace's Houdini and had a beautiful female cria (Brown) Alpaca Palace Houdini's Trixie. She is beautiful!!! Second cria with Houdini...."HOCUS POCUS!!!"...He's beautiful as well! She's a top producer for our farm! This year we are trying for a spectacular black...she is bred to our multi-champion Interceptor!
