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

It was tough deciding whether to offer Carmella for sale. What she produces is amazing -- very high quality! It's just her personality: She's a lovely girl when she's not bred -- not so much, though, when she is bred. Yes, she's one of THOSE! She's actually just fine with all of the other alpacas, it's the humans she doesn't like while she's pregnant. While Carmella's genetics and EPD's are top of the line--the proof is in the pudding! Carmella's daughter first caught our eye so we went to look at her and found that her dam, Carmella, and full sister, Joy, were also very nice and we came home with all three! We chose to breed Carmella to Man in the Moon’s Peruvian Ganymede for her spring 2023 & 2024 crias. With Snowmass Matrix as her sire, her 2023 cria was our first foray into a direct Ganymede X Matrix cross, and I must say that it worked out really well! Carmella delivered a beautiful female cria, Cassia, on 6/11/23! Her fleece is downright spectacular! Soooo….Carmella was bred back to Ganymede for an encore, and she has definitely earned a spot in our foundation herd! UPDATE: Carmella delivered a roan/dark fawn male cria, Crux, on 6/22/24, and he is looking really good! We’re quite pleased. We’ll need to decide whether to breed her back to Ganymede, or his son, Cerberus, but we are holding off on breeding her until we meet our herd reduction goals or we have more help on the farm. Carmella's sire, Snowmass Matrix, is truly one in a million. The fact is this stud has the Premier genetics for high curvature and ultimate fineness. He is a compact robust and well proportioned stud, perfect overall score in frame, bite, body, and reproductive anatomy. He has a fleece that extends its superior qualities over his entire frame. Matrix has what we call a Merino x Vicuna style of crimp. He has a bit more organization in the expression of crimp than a true vicuna but a very high frequency of crimp indicative in the vicuna qualities. Most importantly this stud exhibits an extreme fineness, brightness, and consistency of fineness which is seen in the extension into extremities(hip, belly, shoulder neck and head). He has held these qualities as he has aged which is exactly what we are looking and breeding for.
