4/10/17 Our first of the season and what a guy. ARI # 35222385. Sawdust's Almond Thunder weighed a whopping 23.5 lbs birth weight and is gaining a pound a day. Sawdust Alpacas is very pleased with this boy He is a very well-put-together male with great phenotype and bone structure. His crimp style is passed on from his sire, Sunset Hill's Golden Thunder (ARi #31017435) and his dam, Skyline's Almond Joy, (ARI # 32821666). His consistent color is passed down from Joy's Lennox line. Thunder is our PR alpaca. He loves to meet people, and sometimes will give kisses. He has a great personality and disposition. He has soft-handled, dense fiber. With a 22-micron count, Thunder's fiber can be used for so many products. Thunder has his first cria on the ground! Sawdust's Jarrah was born 9/29/20 . This girl definitely has her dad's coloring and size. She was 17.9 lbs at birth. Thunder's 2nd cria - a brown male with a white face, named Koko, was born 5/29/21.

You won't go wrong adding Thunder as a herdsire on your farm!!!

On August 24, 2013, Lilly arrived at our ranch. She possesses excellent conformation, soft-handled fiber, and a great disposition. We bred her for the first time in October 2013 to our herdsire, FR Magneto, for a 2014 cria. Over the years, Lilly has produced some exceptional cria for Sawdust Alpacas. Some of them have been winners in shows, while others were not entered. However, all of Lilly's crias have had great conformation, bone density, and nice fiber, as well as inheriting their mother's quiet disposition. Some of Lilly's crias are now living on other farms in different states, with one even residing on the Hawaiian island of Maui! Lilly, being the oldest of our females, has lost a couple of teeth. However, she is still maintaining her weight through eating well and producing very nice, ribbon-winning crias. 10/5/24 Lilly has given birth to a beautiful 15.3 pound female cria. Sire is Sawdusts Almond Thunder. Lilly and her cria will be going home to their new owners soon.
