Stunning black male out of Rico's Arctic Rendevous who's familial fineness is off the chart in the alpaca industry! If that isn't good enough, then how about the fact that Simply Scrumptious, his dam is also a multi-champion daughter of CPeruvian Winchester!!! A quick review of Smasher's genetic pool and you will see why we had to have him on our herdsire row. Smasher's fleece is so fine and yet shows amazing bundling and crimp for any color, especially a black! Co-owned with Woodland Meadow Farm.

Meet Excelsior's Patriotic Spirit, an elite, appaloosa herdsire! This male has it all - confirmation, fiber, and lineage. Spirit is the product of appaloosas and harlequins from both sides of his family tree. His sire, Windspun WSA Patriotic Gentleman, is an appaloosa as well. He's a blue ribbon winning male that sports a beautiful fleece and strong confirmation. Patriotic Gentleman's sire is the multi-champion Hobby Horse Farm Great Expecations making his grandsire the well-known SA Peruvian Black Epic. Spirit's dam, Excelsior's High Voltage Tazer, has an equally impressive background. She's the harlequin daughter of a very well-known appaloosa - NWA/Hearsum Paulo. Her dam is actually the full sister to our herdsire Mr. Butterscotch, a beautiful appaloosa harlequin named Candlelight's Cookies and Cream. Both Butterscotch and Cookie are My Peruvian Zephyus offspring. Spirit's show career started as a mature male; however, that didn't stop him from beating out the competition. Judges commented on his extreme density and the amount of fleece packed onto his frame. They also appreciated his fleece's brightness and the handle he had maintained for his age. His macho appearance and confidence in the show ring also stood out. Spirit has proven to pass on his phenomenal fleece qualities to his offspring. We are so excited to have this guy as a herdsire at Elderwood Farms! Notable Offspring: Elderwood's Little Miss Can't Be Wrong - Heavily spotted appaloosa harlequin, 1x Blue
