Silver Sultan
Herdsire Service Donated By:
Reiling Ranch Alpacas

 

iconSILVER SULTAN:

2008 TXOLAN COLOR CHAMPION FLEECE! Judges love him, Certified Fiber Sorters love him, WE love him! Multiple Blue winner & Color Champion, he's a grandson of Royal Inca Legend and son of Aladdin of KPR. Each show Judge has had wonderful things to say about Sultan. At TxOLAN, fleece judge Ruth Elvestad said something like this: “most days, dark grays never usually take the Championship over the lighter grays…but not today and not with this wonderful male.  His fleece had a wonderful healthy silky handle that could only be described as ‘lotiony’.  He is fine and dense with consistent high frequency crimp.  He was well deserving of the Championship!”

While he started with an 18 micron fleece, it’s important to note that he is extremely consistent and has held a 22 micron for the past two years and more importantly, a low SD of 4.5 with his 2nd shearing and 4.8 with his 3rd.  This kind of consistent fine fleeced density is essential to quality grey and black breeding.

Herdsire Service Donated By:
Xanadu Farm Alpacas

iconXANADU P. RESOLUTE:

Described by a leading judge as having the “Wow Fleece” of the 2007 GWAS show as she placed him Reserve Champion of 98 white males.  His fleece is simply extraordinary.  At 26 months it tested at 17.1 mic; 3.7 sd and 0.7% + 30 and a mean curvature of 53.7.  It’s a rare “merino type” fleece with a first shear of 12-13 crimps per inch.  Dad, Maple Brook Barnabus (“Mr. Superfine”) has the lowest alpaca micron ever tested at 12.8 microns with a 2.6 sd at 12 months.  Mom is the full Peruvian daughter of fawn, Accoyo Don Marcelino, an Accoyo Timteo son. Superb pedigree/superb male. Resolute is one of the best males we’ve produced in 15 years of breeding, and we’re proud to donate this breeding as an example of our “pedigree enrichment” breeding program.

Awesome Acres' Baron's Concerto
Herdsire Service Donated By:
 Awesome Acres 'Pacas & Pyrs


icon    BARON'S CONCERTO IN WHITE:

Awesome Acres 'Pacas & Pyrs is proud to offer the services of our white Suri Herdsire Baron's Concerto In White. 'Connie' is a son of the legendary, late Peruvian Baron and our own Camilla, now owned by Sparks Ranch. He is 3/4 Accoyo, exhibiting the size, mass, and bone density of his sire. His conformation is extremely correct. But his wonderful, fine white fleece is what continues to draw attention, and win ribbons at the age of 6 years.

At the height of his show career, as a yearling, Connie won Color Champion at TxOLAN, Reserve Color Champion at the first GWAS, and placed 5th in an exceptionally strong white yearling class of 15 at the AOBA Nationals. At that show he was cited as having the 'best luster in the class', and Suri breeders know how important that is. Following his show ring career, Connie continued to win numerous firsts, championships, Judge's Choice, and Best Luster awards at fleece shows around the country. Most recently, in August 2008, he placed 4th in a class of 9 mature white entries at the 3rd Suri Network All Suri Fleece Show in Estes Park.

Connie has 4 offspring on the ground, ranging from white to medium fawn, 100% Suri. He faithfully exhibits the ability to pull color from the dam's sire, when he is bred to a white dam who is the offspring of a colored sire. With the passing of Baron and Baron Lafitte, Concerto's genetics are some of the most sought-after of all the white Suris in this part of the country.  At Awesome Acres 'Pacas & Pyrs, every breeding comes with a Suri Guarantee.

SHAGGY CHIC SURI RANCH - Mercury Marquis
Herdsire Service Donated By:
Shaggy Chic Suri Ranch 
icon     MERCURY MARQUIS:

Mercury Marquis, ARI # 822755 is a fourth generation medium silver. Coming from the phenomenal bloodlines of Platinum Marquis and Uma, he was bound to be great from the moment of conception.

Mercury's sire, Platinum Marquis, ARI # 850795 owned by Brad and Jandy Sprouse, Great Lakes Ranch, has proven himself nationally in the show ring, 2004, with 3 Championships and Reserve Championships at the three largest shows in North America, AOBA, AAA Futurity and MAPACA. His luster and lock are so remarkable that many breeders ask if he is an accoyo. He is a full Peruvian with accoyo blood from his dam's (Silverbelle) side (Bruxo, Uribe, and Helios). Silverbelle was the Reserve Grey Color Champion at both AOBA and AAA Futurity in 2002 as well as the highest selling suri alpaca at the 2002 AOBA National Auction. Platinum Marquis sire, Silver Marquis, is a deep gunmetal silver grey, a product of two silver grey parents, Silver King and Silver Gem. Platinum Marquis, a third generation silver grey suri, sired his first crop of crias born in 2006. All of them are colored suri's (most of them silver grey) with excellent lock and luster.

At shearing this year (May 08), Mercury was said to be a fiber machine. Over 9 inch staple length! We were told to shear this guy twice a year from now on as fiber can not be processed when it is that long. After shearing, the luster on Mercury was exposed and what luster it is! This boy shines like the morning sun. He is just gorgeous. Judge Shannon McConnell, at the Ok Blast Off show Jan 08, told me Mercury had more luster than is usually seen on a grey, and judge McConnell said Merc was his favorite animal out of the group that was in the ring.

We can not wait to see what Mercury Marquis produces, as he has all 3 of the silver grey shades in his fiber. As this boy matures he just get's better and better. I can not go to my pasture and not spend time just gazing at the marvelous stature, size, luster, bone, and fiber on this guy. After shearing, his lock structure is even better than before. He is amazing!
