We fell in love with Ladue when we saw him at the 2019 AOA National Show - standout male and the genetics we wanted to add to our program. The judges apparently agreed - he was the 2019 AOA National Color Champion. His sire, Goldstar's Jet, was lost in 2019 - way too soon for a male of his caliber! We are very fortunate to have his son in our breeding program. Check out his pedigree and you'll agree - these genetics are worth having in your breeding program! Ladue is a compact male, with good bone and body capacity. His fiber carries a wonderful handle and good luster throughout. And, while he showed dark brown, his 2nd fleece came in a dark rose grey! First Ladue cria hit the ground and she didn't disappoint! WAP Dahlia out of Ladue was a home run. Her dam, Black's Sundae, was also a multiple color champion as a yearling.

This boy continues to show us that our breeding program is going in the right direction - the direction of the NorthStar!! 2024 Futurity Reserves Suri Herdsire of the year in BOTH dark and light offspring! And, in 2023, NorthStar was awarded the 2023 Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year! He has also earned our farm the honor of being awarded Suri Herdsire of the Year Medium Farm Division in 2024. After 25 years of breeding suris we are blessed to have produced this male on our farm. Thanks to all our customers for entering their animals in the Futurity show and letting the alpaca world see what this awesome herdsire is producing. We can't wait to show off his next crop of babies this spring! Check out our females that are bred to NorthStar - his breedings are currently closed - please inquire if you are a previous customer and are looking at breedings to this very special herdsire. Or....let us know if you're interested in any females bred to him or some of his offspring! Now.....a bit more about NorthStar - 6X Judge's Choice Winner - 10X Color Champion - no doubt about this herdsire hitting the breeding circuit big time! Northstar is a BIG boy with great substance of bone. His fleece is absolutely brilliant with luster to spare! And, the hand to his fleece is what we're all breeding for.....slick, no drag, and very cool to the touch and oh so soft. He also has a presence that commands attention! And, lastly, he is the easiest, most mellow herdsire we've ever had on our farm. Personality plus with this boy NorthStar is proudly co-owned with Karen Ball and Russell Ratti of Heart & Soul Alpacas & Spinnery. They purchased half interest in this male before he even entered the showring as a juvenile! Thanks for your confidence in our breeding program! His show record and those of his offspring prove we were all right about our assessment of him, even as a juvenile. And, his offspring are at the top of the bidding in alpaca auctions!
