Magnus has done so much for us! He has been a cornerstone in our breeding program, improving every female he was bred to and producing Champions like no other males to date did for us. 6x Champion and 2x Best in Show – both in fleece and halter – Magnus is quite the package. In fleece show, he scored 89/100. Not to shabby in my opinion! He is a solid and stunning macho. His fleece is incredibly dense, shiny and well defined. His sire is Xanadu P Resolute, a male that made a tremendous impact in the Eastern Canadian industry. His dam is a Cimmaron Gold Legend daughter that produced 4x Supreme Champion Averegan’s Merida. Magnus shares almost the exact genetics as 7x Black Champion Averegan’s Aftershock, another Resolute x Cimmaron Gold Legend cross. The best way to judge the potential of a herdsire is by his progeny, and frankly Magnus did deliver. His progeny has great well-built conformations with solid bones and dispositions. Fleece-wise, they are all an improved version of their dams’ fleece. Producing crias from white to black and grey that are having fleeces as fine as 14.2 microns (Anrhumé – WH) with outstanding staple length and fleece weight, add to that crimp from skin to tip and great shine. His very first cria, Nyla of Peterboro, won the Combined Brown Colour Champion title in Fall 2019. Since then, Magnus has produced Champions in every colour, from white to black and grey. In fleece shows, his progeny reached up to 86.5/100 and culminated titles of "Judge's Choice", “Best Crimp” and “Best Brightness”! His black daughter, Miss Andean Shadow du DNA, is a 4x Champion that scored up to 79/100 – a score rarely given to blacks in Canada. As a bonus, our first generation of Magnus daughters are now producing Champions! Any breeders that want to improve their performances in the showings, the conformation on their animals and increase their production of quality fleeces should consider Averegan’s Magnus as their next herdsire. Don’t miss this chance to improve your herd! Colour genotype: Ee Aa1

Breeding to improve the next generation is all about finding the best combinations. For starters, we all know that crossing Jeremiah’s genetics (trough his son, MFI & TNT Foundation) to Resolute has brought incredible results. Unbeknown to many Canadian breeders, combining Jeremiah’s genetics to Alpacajoy Excelsior’s line is also yielding fruitful results in Europe, producing multi-champion Alpacajoy Afterglow of Creation (out of a Jeremiah’s grandson and Excelsior’s ¾ sibling). Introducing Birchleaf Stand Elite, the female that will make these combinations possible in our program. Her name says it all. Elite is a petite and boxy female, described as having a “freakish density”. I fell in love with this female when I first saw her at the 2022 Spring Show for the amount and quality of fleece she is carrying on her frame. Her performances in shows are the proof that we have a special female in our hands. At her first show in 2022, she won Reserve White Champion behind the Supreme, she was only getting started! She won an additional 8 Championships, a Best Crimp award, a Best Handle award and a JUDGE’S CHOICE! At the Alpaga Québec 2023 Spring Show, Elite won 1st in her class, standing in front of our very own Miss Aucéanie du DNA, and was awarded Reserve Champion behind our other white female, TP Beauty of Legend! Her dam, Birchleaf Stand Up, is full sibling to US Judge’s Choice, Birchleaf Stand Alone. Her sire, Birchleaf Foundations Ziba, is from Birchleaf Zena, a Supreme Champion that produces many Supreme Champions. Stand Elite is following that path. Her grandsire is the great MFI & TNT Foundation, an incredible male from Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah.
