UPDATE : Ascott's Gr. Son Birchleaf Foundations Ziba, Won Grand Champion white male at the April 9th/10th ALPACA Spring Show. At almost 6 yrs of age! We bought Ascott to add fineness and stunning Presence to our herd. We were looking for the combination of Alpamayo and Ivano, after seeing their offspring in the showring. After getting multiple fibre samples from males across North America, Ascott stood out, for fineness, lack of primaries and consistency of variation of micron. His 3 yr old histogram is 17.3, 3.2, 18.2, and 0.3 over 30mic. We showed him at 54 months of age against all ages of white males where he took Grand Champion. The judge at the time commented "that this 54 month old male is as fine as the juveniles in his color class". His progeny are vigorous, prepotent, stylish, stunning conformation and have consistency of fibre diameter across the body. Ascott daughters won Supreme Champion female at the Northlands Alpaca International Odyssey 3 years in a row, 2011 Birchleaf Exotica, 2012 Birchleaf Sunita and 2013 Birchleaf Zena (Also CNASF Supreme) before the show was moved. Ascott is now retired from breeding and will live out his days on our farm.
