Indi is now at our farm for the 2024 spring breeding season! Now is your time to take advantage of adding his spectacular genetics to your herd!! Give us a call to schedule your breeding. His stud fee includes 60 days board and ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy for your female. We can discuss alternate pricing for drive-by breedings!! **PROUDLY CO-OWNED WITH HEART & SOUL ALPACAS** We are very excited to announce our partnership with Heart and Soul Alpacas, as we team up with them to co-own Indi! He is a wonderful herd sire and is producing absolutely beautiful offspring with luster to burn! He is also throwing density, lock structure and great body conformation. After the birth of his male cria on our farm in 2022, we knew Indi was something special! Check out our boy Declaration by Independence, "Decker," for just a sample of what Indi can produce!! Shortly after Decker was born, Indi was awarded a Reserve Championship for his fleece...at 6 years old!!! This is what we strive for in our breeding program...long lasting positive fleece traits. We are proud to be bringing Indi on board at Honey Maple Farms in 2023! With the recent passing of Maxx Macgyver, Indi has some BIG shoes to fill in our breeding barn! We are looking forward to his contributions to our herd!! ________________________________________________________________ **AS DESCRIBED BY HEART AND SOUL ALPACAS** 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 boasts 9 Championships and 26 blues, quite impressive! His most recent win was taking the national Reserve Championship at 6 years old!! We bred Indi's Dam to Aero Ranch's Auguste Piccard, one of the Last Inca sons still breeding, hoping to get exactly what we 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!

*Description by previous owners* This girl was way past due but well worth the wait!! 20.5 lbs. at birth and already showing lovely luster and locked at the skin. Creases all up her neck, so her density should be awesome.

Kalli will be a great addition to our black program...she shows a lot of promise! We are already looking for just the right male to pair her with since she will be bred before her arrival. We are hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to add some highly desirable genetics to our herd! **EXCITING NEWS** Kalli was just awarded a Blue Ribbon at the AOA National Show March 19-21!! Like a fine wine...she keeps getting better with time! *APRIL 2021 UPDATE* Kalli will be bred to Multi-Champion H & S Independence this spring in hopes of a spectacular 2022 cria!!

Kalli finished up the spring shows with TWO MORE BLUE RIBBONS..at the CABA Classic and AWE shows on May 7-9th!!! She made us so proud! Way to go, pretty girl!!! **SUMMER 2022** Kalli presented us with a gorgeous little dark brown male from her pairing with H & S Independence (Indi). This boy has it all...Luster, Lock, Handle, personality! We were so impressed with him that we decided to pursue part ownership in Indi! Kalli sure held on to her cria for a LONG time...as a maiden, she birthed at 374 days! But, when Decker was born, he was just perfect. We really are excited to see what he will do as he matures! *AUGUST 25, 2024* Kalli gave us a STUNNING dark female from her pairing with Cinch. This is exactly why we brought Kalli into our program at Honey Maple Farms! This combination of genetics is helping us to raise the bar in our breeding program and we are excited to see the outcome of our planning!! Pics coming soon!
