We would like to say a big THANKS to Russell Ratti & Karen Ball @ Hearth and Soul Alpacas and Spinnery, for the opportunity to purchase a 50% ownership in this outstanding herdsire. Indi is a proven sire with his first cria being a dark fawn super chunk with lots of gloriously lusterous fleece!
This young male has a lot going for him! He is a Judges Choice winner at one of the most prestigious shows in the country, The Suri Network and boast 8 Championships and 26 blues, quite impressive!
When H&S bred Indi's Dam to Aero Ranch's Auguste Piccard, one of the Last Inca sons still breeding, they were hoping to get exactly what they got... Indi! His luster is off the charts, his hand amazing, and his regrowth remarkable. We cannot say enough about this future herdsire.
He has a remarkably soft handle! And even in the dustiness of late summer, he was still lustrous with amazing lock structure! He makes a great impression!
