We are honored and thrilled to co -own Zoltar of Halo with Halo Ranch. Zoltar is the product of two award winning alpacas: GLR Amayah (Judge's Choice 2014 Futurity) and the two-time Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Cinders. His genetics include GLR Picasso, Rockstar's Paloma, Shavano, MacGyver and Jackpot. At six months old, Zoltar won 4 championships in shows across the country, both halter and fleece. 2018 Suri Netwrok Fleece Show- Cheryl Gehly- "Such fine secondaries in this lustrous fleece". We specifically selected Zoltar to add to our dark program because of his stellar genetics and his fleece characteristics. He is very fine with a high degree of density. Zoltar was biopsied in the spring of 2021 at 41 months of age. His 15x scan shows fiber clusters irregular in size and shape but uniform in placement within his connective tissue. His density measures 55 follicles SQ MM and his S/P ratio from 25 typical fiber cluster averaged 11.1 to 1. Zoltar's scans shows level 3 of 4 gland presence. His 250x scan shows less then 20% of secondary fibers show a degree of medullation which is rather uncommon is a true black. 100 typical secondary fibers averaged 21.5 microns while 50 typical primary fibers averaged 32.3 microns for an average S/P spread of 10.8. His AFD measures 22.46 microns. Zoltar’s offspring are here, and they are amazing!!

This beautiful bay black female is a showstopper. Stunning dark fleece with an incredibly soft handle and great suri luster. Dairy Maid's bloodlines are the tops for black genetics. Her sire is multi-champion Bluegrass Peruvian Rhythm & Blues who has an outstanding show record and produces champion color offspring. Her dam, Merchant's Creamery is a Captain Morgan daughter, who is one of the most famous dark herdsires. Merchant Creamery won many first places and a reserve champion in her show career. Her genetics include Macgyver, Sierra Bonita's Sargent Pepper, Captain Morgan, DDF Accoyo Armani, PPeruvian Eleuteria, Uribe and Bruxo. Power packed genetics all along both the top and bottom lines. Dairy Maid won first place at the AlpacaFest West 2015 show and placed second at the competitive California Classic and CABA Classic. In addition to great fineness, Dairy Maid's fleece exhibits a high degree of luster and independent lock structure, as well as a good level of density. Her 2017 biopsy from Dr. Norm Evans showed a density of 42.75 with a S/P ratio of 9.3 to 1. She shows level 4 of 4 gland presence and her average SP spread is 10.5. Her biopsy AFD is 20.32 microns. While she has average density, she has great fineness for a bay black. Dr. Evans stated, "she shows excellent fiber stats for a bay black female". Dairy was S.H.I.P. classified in 2017 by Cheryl Gehly and received top scores of 5 in seven of the eight conformation traits. Her Fleece traits were a 5 for uniformity of color (excellent for a black--no white fibers!), 4s for fineness, lock structure and fleece phenotype, 3.5 for luster and handle and 3s for density and uniformity of micron. Dairy is an excellent mom with lots of milk and love for her crias. She gave birth in 2018 to a gorgeous bay black female sired by Midas' Black Ice.
