Champion, Elite
Full Peruvian Herdsires - Focusing on Fine fleece
Presidio is one of the best producing sons of
lengendary Accoyo Caligula
(white).
His dam, Senna, (fawn)
is a Peruvian from the Solocotta region.
He won “Get of Sire” seven times, and his crias had over 100
championships when we stopped counting.
Presidio was born at Xanadu and his
resume includes winning the blue ribbon for fleece at AOBA in 1999 (the
highest score of all huacaya fleeces at the show).
He has incomparable brightness and fleece character,
along
with heavy bone and reproductive capacity.
Presidio has that rare
combination of deep amplitude crimp, density and staple length (he sheared
over 11.9 pounds of fleece at fourth shearing with a 7.9 pound blanket).
He
now has over 180 crias on
the ground in nearly all colors; including black, rose grey and chocolate brown,
and all carry his strong genotype.
Most importantly to us, his crias have wonderful fleece and are genetically
and reproductively hardy.

Call for information.
We have his son (Intrepid) and daughter (Patricia) for sale.
We
searched for
two years to find that perfect herdsire to carry our champion breeding
program forward.
Since he has to
follow in the footsteps of Presidio
and Barnabus, that’s a tall order.
We wanted to continue to breed for ultra fine fleece combined with
good density
and a well organized fleece.
Just as important to us is breeding the healthy, genetically sturdy alpaca
who carries that fleece.
Snowstorm fit the job description perfectly and we are thrilled to have him.
We chose him with Trueheart Alpacas of Franktown, CO.
We’ve bred 9 of our own best females to Snowstorm for fall ’10 crias, too
Breeding Fee: $2,000 through 2010.
7 “Get of Sire” wins including
a win at the ’09 GWAS show,
the largest alpaca show in the US – 22 entries!
Amazing Fleece!
He has the best one year micron Yocom-McColl has ever tested.

& 0.3% + 30 microns
at 2 years of age its 16.5 mic, 3.0SD, 18.2CV and 0.3%

1. Supervised pen breeding to assure pregnancy, prevent over breeding & provide reliable breeding records and due dates.
2. 10% off any fee for drive by breedings.
