D'Angelo did it again! My son and I loaded up last Friday and went to the MAPA Pronk for the first time. We took D'Angelo and he did not disappoint. He received the following awards: - MABA Alpaca Celebration - 1st Place Mature White Males - White Male Color Championship - Reserve Champion White Male Walking Fleece - Judges Choice Male Haucaya - PAOBA Breeders Showcase - 1st Place Mature White Males - White Male Color Championship - Judges Choice Male Haucaya Attention: D'Angelo had a very productive weekend at the 2022 AOA Nationals. Showing as an Invited Champion, he attained the following accolades: - 1st Place in the invited Champions class - Invited Champions Championship - White Male Color Championship - Light Supreme Championship Many thanks to our partner, Lynn Edens for allowing us to share in this males success. Tom ============================================================================== Announcing a new partnership with Lynn Edens: Lynn Edens describes him this way: Snowmass D'Angelo: This may be the most attractive animal on my farm in North Salem right now. He is just so upright and macho with a beautiful head, coverage, etc. He started working this spring and will have his first crias on the ground early next year. His fleece is excellent – very uniform both within the staple and across his frame, so uniform that until relatively recently I thought he was by Oblivion. Staple length is moderate, he is a bit less bright than some other males and may lack a touch of hand – I am being extremely picky trying to find something negative to say about this male. Too bad this male never showed as he is really something, truly the complete package. Call me to discuss. Tom ****** Attention ****** D'Angelo just bannered twice this weekend in Illinois! He accomplished this at 44 months old and as a working male to boot! Call to schedule your breedings!

Penelope Brooks writes: Say hello to Miss Bliss! Bliss is a beautiful female with a cute fawn spot on her tail. Her conformation is spot on, and her fleece shows good brightness and density, with good crimp and fineness. She has a very easy-going personality, likely inherited from her dam, Crescent Moon’s Giggles. Giggles is a white alpaca who passes on COLOR when bred to color. Bliss may have inherited this trait as well! Her sire, Ren Farm’s Albertus Magnus is known for his lingering fineness and incredible density. He is a 4x champion male with extremely bright bundles of the highly prized zipper crimp architecture! Bliss' show career is just getting started and she has done a great job so far. She took 2nd at Nationals! === UPDATE === Bliss has been confirmed to Accoyo America Arctic Warrior for an October 2019 cria.
