Troubadour is one of a kind with his fine and OH SO SOFT high character fleece,dramatic head, and upright conformation. Check out his awesome histogram numbers at three years of age while breeding! His pedigree combines the lineage of Hemingway and Caligula (El Nino). His Sire, North Star, won the Reserve Color Champion at AOBA in 2007. Troubadour is a 2010 Nationals Light Champion and won the Blue Ribbon in the 2011 Best of the US Jr. Herdsire Light Class. The Judges, Wade Gease and Babs Manion raved about his conformation and outstanding fleece characteristics in the show ring stating that these are the qualities that all breeders should be striving for in their breeding program. Don't miss out on this great opportunity. We are starting Troubadour's introductory breeding fee at $1,500. Troubadour began his breeding career in early summer 2012 and is expecting his first offspring in May 2013.

Description

We went out in search of a superior white male whose genetics were rare in the West. A male who would be an outcross and add hybrid vigor with the introduction of his genetics. After looking at hundreds of possibilities (many good choices), along with our partners Norm and Sandra Johnson, we purchased Alpaca Palace's King Richard at 6 months of age (a bit risky, we know - but look at his cria picture and you'll see the appeal is obvious). Turns out, we hit the jackpot and are very pleased with how he has grown up and what he has produced and consistently keeps producing. Still holding a dense, fine fleece, at 6 years old, Ricky took FIRST PLACE AT A0A 2020 NATIONAL FLEECE SHOW in the mature white male class. He remains very fine, very dense, and uniform. He also took first place at the 2020 ABR fleece show. Ricky has sired several crias and we are happy to report that they all are looking great, with exceptional fleeces and strong frames, superior bone density, balance, and THE LOOK. Nice. Ricky's genetics include: Troubadour (AOBA white male champion) Maree Love, Hemingway, Legacy, Rolex, Archangel, El Nino, Citation (13x champion), Elite, and more. These genetics are well known, but rarely all in the same package..that's where Ricky's genetic punch comes from. With Ricky, we are looking to produce not only show winners, but solid seed stock that is healthy and vigorous Ricky;s EPDs reflect this blend of genetics. He is in the top 2.6% of alpacas tested (27,000 + alpacas) in AFD (average fiber diameter) and the top 1.58 % in % > 30 AFD. This speaks to his genetic potential to pass on fine, uniform fleece. Update: At nearly 6 years old and as a breeding male, Ricky’s AFD is 21.0, SD: 4.0. CV: 19, and CF: 97%. Very fine and uniform. Ricky took a first at the National fleece show - mature male - with his 6th fleece. Ricky resides at Chimera Ranch (Norm and Sandra Johnson) in Bennet, Colorado along with several of his cria. Go take a look. You'll be glad you did. Questions? Call Dundee Farm at 303 663-3822. or Chimera Ranch at 623 910-9897

Awards

. in 2020, at nearly 6 years old, he got 1ST PLACE AT AOA NATIONAL FLEECE SHOW in the mature white male class. https://www.openherd.com/images/ap_icon_blue.png

As a cria, Ricky was kept inside because of flooding and constant rain in Pennsylvania. Initially he was small for his age, likely due to lack of sunshine and ability to exercise, and thus was shown only once in halter, where he received a 5th because of size. He also took firsts in several walking fleece competitions. Ricky has matured to a full size while maintaining his exceptional fleece and frame characteristics
