SDR Torino - SOLD

Male Huacaya, Unproven
Birthdate: 9/7/2007
Heritage: Full Peruvian
ARI Registration Pending
Color: Bay Black
Price: SOLD

 

Thank you to the Aldrich family for adding Torino to your herd!

Tendu and Pewter have teamed up once again to produce a healthy bay black cria. Torino's full sister, Tempo, sold for $29,000 at the 2006 Peruvian Classic Sale to Highland Alpaca, and is now bred to Pride of America, a Don Timbo son.

It will be some time, but it looks like Torino has the potential to become an asset to produce color and fine, soft fiber as his genetics go back to Silvino, a light rose grey male that was imported in 1998. I am looking forward to showing Torino next year.

 

Sire: Pewter

Dark Rose Grey, 819774, Peruvian

Dam: PPPeruvian Tendu 5058

Beige, 139154, Full Peruvian
Tendu is a 1995 beige import from the Sollocotá Cooperative in Peru. When she arrived at Maplewood Farm, Dr. Jim Vickers rated her a "#8", and she became part of MWF's foundation herd. In July of 2002, Tendu became the first production female for Snow Dancer Ranch. Her crias continue to win in the show ring.
Tendu has proven to be a "hands off" delivery specialist, providing ample colostrum and milk for her young, and unconditional nurturing through the early months.

TPeruvian Destino - SOLD


Tino's 1st Cria

Male Huacaya, Proven
Birthdate: 6/30/2003
Heritage: Full Peruvian
ARI #: 848019
Color: White
Price: SOLD 1/4 Accoyo

Thank you to the Aldrich family for adding Destino to your herd!

1/4 ACCOYO DRACULA GRANDSON!

OK, he's cute, but let's get serious! Destino is the result of a Dracula son and our 1995 Sollocottá Import. His white fiber is very dense, uniform and exhibits a very low percentage of guard hairs yielding a very high comfort factor. His crimp is bold in architecture as well. His bite is perfect and his large testicles are symmetrical. He was awarded two second place ribbons at his first show, competed in a very large competitive class at the 2004 AOBA National Conference making the cut and placed 5th out of 12 at the 2004 MIAF.

This young male has a proven lineage and is now breeding and PROVEN! He will make a fantastic production herdsire. Save on breeding fees and transporting your females, some with crias at their sides, to other farms. He will surely pay for himself at today's market fees for breeding. He has the right stuff to improve density, handle and crimp architecture. Please contact us for fiber samples, bite pictures, and testicle measurements.

Breed him to your females that are fine and improve their density, bundling and crimp architecture!

Destino sells with full ranch guarantees as described in the sales contract, and a pre-purchase exam by our Veterinarian.

SDR Peruvian Saxon - SOLD

Male Huacaya, Unproven
Birthdate: 5/24/2007
Heritage: Full Peruvian
ARI #: 30015212
Color: Beige
Price: SOLD Full Peruvian

Thank you Jordan Valley Alpaca Ranch for adding Saxon to your herd!

The first thing you notice about Saxon is his erect presence and great conformation. He is the first cria out of our Augusto grandson Independance, and I like what I see so far. Saxon is healthy, typee, and his fiber is developing nicely. His blanket color appears to be holding at beige or light fawn. At this point, he looks to have all the makings of a show quality male. If you have any questions regarding Saxon, please contact us.

Sire:TPeruvian Independance

Beige, 842588, Full Peruvian
Independance exhibits the strong conformation of his sire, Catero, and grandsire, Accoyo Augusto. His dense, uniform fiber is predominantly beige and is relatively free of guard hairs resulting in a very high comfort factor. His pigmentation is dark and his ears are gray, so we suspect that he has the potential to produce color. Indy has proven to be a very healthy alpaca with no skin problems or other issues.

Dam: L Peruvian Fine Lenox

White, 1082159, Full Peruvian

Lenox is a white, full Peruvian Huacaya with dark skin pigmentation and a spot of brown behind her eyes. She has a quiet personality and is easy to handle. Her sire Brio is an award winning Maplewood Farm Herdsire, and her Dam is one of MWF's original Peruvian imports known for good milking, high IgG's, and passing on color to her offspring. Lenox is a natural mother with lots of milk.

Thank you Jordan Valley Alpaca Ranch for adding Lenox to your herd!

Full Peruvian

Lenox is a bright white, full Peruvian Huacaya female outlined with dark skin pigmentation and a spot of brown behind her eyes. Her sire is a fawn, award-winning Matador son owned by Maplewood Farm, and her Dam is one of Maplewood Farm's PPP Imports known for passing on good milking, high IgGs, and color to her offspring.
PROVEN! Lenox is just over 4 years old. She delivered her first cria, Mikasa, in 2006 and her second cria, Saxon, in 2007. Both births were trouble free from delivery to nursing. Mikasa was shown in a Spring Michigan halter show and awarded first place. Saxon was sired by our beige Augusto Grandson, Independance, and is definitely show quality as evidenced by his presence and developing fleece.
BRED! For 2008, Lenox's next cria will be out of Lord Stanley, a brown Peruvian Conan son and 6X color champion. Lord Stanley is owned by Autumn Alpacas, LLC. She was bred to Lord Stanley to produce color and to ensure that she continues her string of show quality crias.

All the work has been done. Proven and bred. The return on your investment could be as early as next year!

UP and COMING SHOWGIRL!
A MULTICOLOR WITH SILVER/GREY GENETICS!!

Thank you Tom and Sandra Foster of Smokey Valley Alpacas for adding Mikasa to your new herd!

Mikasa is a stunning girl. She is typey, well boned, and well covered. Her fleece is fine, soft and bright. She is multicolored, white with brown points on all her feet, tip of the tail and a brown patch on each side of her prime blanket! She is healthy, active, and just a great first cria out of her Dam, Lenox.

Mikasa's heritage includes two well known Grand Sires, Silver Cesario and Matador. Her genetic micron and comfort factors at 3 months of age are 15.8 and 97.8% respectively! She should be very capable of throwing color as well.

Mikasa has been weaned and has demonstrated her independence. If you appreciate the unique characteristics of multicolored alpacas, especially with her silver/grey genetics, consider adding Mikasa to your foundation herd.

Mikasa sells with full ranch guarantees as described in the sales contract and a pre-purchase exam by our veterinarian.
