Ganymede will be at AMAF in NY again this Summer! BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT VA TOO FAR TO GO? Contact us to discuss getting a breeding in VA, NY, or TX. Time is running out to purchase a breeding to Ganymede, the 2017 AOA Nat’l Supreme Champion. Color genotype: ee Aa. Can produce black! He's making Champions & Judges Choice offspring!! Extraordinary Offspring: CNTRL Ganymede's Hannah B, has 22 Championships and 4 Judges Choice awards competing as a fawn female -AND- she is the 2021/22 #5 female in the Nation!! AMAF Islamadora, has 20 Championships, including the 2024 AOA National Championship, and received her first Judges Choice award as a yearling in Fall of 2023! StrongShepherd Juno, is a 16x Champion & JC male, and CCNF (arguably the top breeding farm in the country) purchased half-interest in this incredible male to bring different genetics into their herd! "This male shows extremely strong fiber traits that should be passed to his offspring...Bred to top notch females, you should expect many champions." -- Comments from Dr. Norm Evans' biopsy report SKIN BIOPSY was performed at 30 months of age by Dr. Norm Evans in December 2017. Of note, his 15x scan shows large fiber clusters uniform in shape and placement within his connective tissue. His scan shows only 4 guard type hairs from the 6800+ fibers in his 10 MM tissue punch. His true density is 86.75 follicles per SQ MM of skin. He shows a level 2 of 4 gland structure, with an average S/P ratio of 14.1 to 1, and only 11% of his secondary fibers are medullated which is rare since the average is near 60%. His 250x scan shows the presence of many round secondary fibers, and one hundred typical secondary fibers averaged 17.8 microns — at 30 months old!! According to Dr. Evans 30 months is the recommended age for skin biopsies and gives the most accurate values. Full report available upon request. While Ganymede’s breeding fee is firm, we can offer attractive discounts on any solely owned herdsire in a multiple breeding package. We also have females available that have already been bred to Ganymede or can be purchased with a future breeding to him. Please give us a call to discuss. Ganymede is Co-Owned with Rancho Inca Alpacas located in Navasota TX

Dam: Majestic Meadows Cecelia

2X Judges Choice Jumanji daughter!

Majestic Meadows Cecelia

HuacayaOpen (Female)Light Brown
AOA# 35293613DOB: 6/9/20177 yrs
Oh Cecelia! At just 8 months old she had her first COLOR CHAMPIONSHIP and JUDGES CHOICE Award, and by 22 months she had accumulated a total of 12 BANNERS including 2 Judges Choice awards, and a 1st place at the Futurity! She is a stunning girl from Majestic Meadow's excellent breeding program. She carries long, crimpy, bright fleece that is uniform all over her, and has beautiful architecture from skin to tip. Not surprising, as she is sired by 2016 and 2017 Dark Herdsire of the Year and 2016 and 2017 Get of Sire Dark Herdsire winning Jeremiah's Peruvian Jumanji, AND her Grand-sire is Beethoven's Dorian, 11 time Champion and 3 time Judges Choice winner! Cecelia has had four trouble-free births. Zeus, her first was a lovely brown boy sired by Snowmass Paso Robles and sold to Feighner Family Farms. Her second cria was StrongShepherd's Amelia who was recently purchased by Julie Judge of Roadrunner Rascals Farm at the Parade of Champions Auction. In 2022 we welcomed StrongShepherd's Juno, a stunning dark brown male sired by Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede. Juno took multiple Reserve Championships in spring 2023 and is now proudly co-owned with Ian and Jen at CasCadNac Farm! Cecelia's August '23 cria sired by Snowmass Sub-Seven (Heather's Acres and Snowmass Alpacas) is a lovely beige male that we have high hopes for. Cecelia has now been re-bred to Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede for a September '24 cria. We are hoping for another superstar like our Juno! Cecelia is proudly co-owned with our Strong Shepherd Alpacas partners, Randy and Karen Strong, K-Ran Alpacas.

Description

This young male is everything we hoped for, and more, from his multiple champion & judge's choice winning parents, our Majestic Meadow's Cecelia and Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede. His maternal line has proven to pass on our most sought-after fleece qualities: UNIFORMITY, density and fineness, in fact his dam is maternal sister to our 23x Champion, AOA '22 2nd high point male, StrongShepherd Apollo by Koolossal. In the spring '23 show season Juno earned 9 blue ribbons in Juvie classes, and earned 7 Reserve Color Championships, competing in both Halter and Walking Fleece. He's continuing his winning streak in his yearling shows, with 6 more banners so far! Needless to say he is an amazing example of both elite fleece quality and very strong conformation. Juno is proudly co-owned with Ian and Jen Lutz at CasCadNac Farm, and with our Strong Shepherd partners, Randy and Karen Strong.
