Many thanks to Wendi and Russell James of Little Providence Alpacas in Reno, Nevada for this donated breeding to Ephraim! Density, fineness, locking and luster! This male has it all, and has the capacity to pass these traits on to his progeny. His EPD scores are in the top 5% to 15% for almost every category--no surprise because his sire and dam also score in the top EPD percentiles. Ephraim is a son of the incredible Big Timber Josef, who has countless championships and champion crias. Josef is a son of the almost legendary Pucara Kahuna: for many years the star of the famed Pucara herdsire lineup. Ephraim's dam is also a champion and brings in genetics from Apache II , Uribe, Bruxo, and Mallory Jane. Take a look at Ephraim's show record--he has excelled in BOTH walking fleece and halter categories, with several championships in each! He clearly has an all-star profile that you want represented in your herd!

We knew this girl was special when we first saw her. She's our ranch ambassador and official greeter who makes friends with everyone she meets. If there was a competition for "Miss Congeniality" she would surely take the championship. Her official AOA color category is "Fancy." That's Apollonia alright! And with her impressive genetics we expected her to do well in the show ring. Now it's confirmed. Top 5% EPDs! First place ribbons! Amazing luster! ! Here's what the judges had to say. "Good uniformity of micron in both colors!" - Cheryl Gehly, 2021 AOA National Fleece Show "Soft hand to this fleece with good weight relative to fineness." - Diana Timmerman, 2021 Suri Network Fleece Show This Spring we had the incredible good luck to arrange Apollonia's first breeding to Little Providence Joseph's Ephraim, a multi-champion himself with near perfect EPDs. We're trying hard to manage our expectations for this cria who will arrive next Spring.
