What can we say? Banners, Blue ribbons, amazing bloodlines (have you looked at his ARI?), Champion offspring. Why are you NOT breeding to this amazing specimen of everything you can ask for in a herdsire? Leonidus' Layla took a 2nd place in the dark brown juvenile halter show and a 1st place in the Small Breeders Show at MAPACA 2017, and a 1st place in the 2017 PAOBA Breeders Showcase. She's the pretty brown one with the blue ribbon -- she is lovely, and if you choose to breed to Leo, yours can be too! Leo consistently stamps his progeny with his phenotype, density, and fineness. He is maintaining phenomenal density well into his breeding years! Leo's previous owner did not do a histogram, but we can tell you his offspring are winning ribbons of their own, and all who have been tested have fiber under 20 microns. If you'd like histograms from some of his crias, just ask and we'll happily forward them to you. Check out the pictures of Leo crias at the bottom of the photo column. None prettier! And Leo's biopsy (May, 2014) reports are in! Density: 58.6 mm; Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 9.8:1; In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 24.8 microns SD 3.2 microns range 19.9 to 31.5 microns; secondary fiber diameter: 19.8 microns SD 2.8 microns range 14.2 to 19.8 microns. Everything we thought we knew about this male is TRUE! Discount breedings are available for champion females, multiple breedings, and breedings to Snowmass Quechua descendants. Give us a call! You know you want to breed to him -- what are you waiting for? 2018 EPDs are available by clicking on the EPD link above right. Besides being top 1% for %M, he's top 5% for AFD and %F>30, and top 10% for SDAFD, SF (spin fineness), and MC (mean curvature). He's still amazing and holding his own after all these years! We are so proud!!

Sugar Hollow's Rhiannon

AOA# 32169744DOB: 5/22/201113 yrs
As Stevie Nicks sings it, "Rhiannon rings like a bell in the night, and wouldn't you love to love her?" Wouldn't YOU love to love Rhiannon? Her fleece is fine and bright with a lovely hand! She took blue ribbons in the spin-off and cottage fleece competitions at VAOBA in 2013. The cottage fleece judge commented on the soft glow of her fleece, and noted that spinning would produce "beautiful yarn -- fine gauge with very soft hand." Suggested use of the yarn by the judge: knitting, crochet, weaving, next-to-skin garments, and baby items. Rhiannon is the beautiful and bright black daughter of A.L. Paca's Exclusivo. "Clue's" grey mother is 18 time champion A.L.Paca's Chiri Upper, out of 8 time champion Enchantment's Chiricahua and Simba of A.L.Pacas. Clue's sire is the infamous MFI Jericho. What else needs to be said? Rhiannon's cria have done well in the show ring. Her daughter, Freeflyer's Freebird, was a beautiful medium fawn color and took 3rd place out of 14 in Halter at VAOBA in 2015. Her true black son Billy the Kid took 2nd out of 7 in Halter at PAOBA in 2019.

Description

The son of our herdsire Snowmass King Leonidus "Abby" would be a nice addition to a smaller alpaca farm on a budget. He carries those fabulous Snowmass genetics in his fleece and has the potential to be a breeder for those interested in increasing the size of their own herd for the purpose of producing more yarn.
