Our herd's matriarch. Reference listing - Desceased Jan. 2012.
Based on her track record we think she was one of the best herd matriachs in the country. Her offspring won many awards, were called "irreplaceable" AND she put a pound per day on her newborns. Average size, never sick, bred and birthed easily; her cria's 24 hr. IgG's were typically 3000+ and weighed 75-85+ pounds at 6 months. She consistently passed on her correct phenotype, balanced proportions, fleece quality and coverage, and a perfect bite (never trimmed). She is the mirror image of her sire in dark fawn.
99 cria: DB M, 16 m, blue ribbon (8, Krieger).
01 cria, Snowy Truffles (sire: 4P Locota), had a 48 hr IgG 3600, placed 4th in a large, juv. W female class at Alpacapalooza 02 (Krieger); was the highest selling W huacaya maiden (out of 4) at the Star Events 01 auction (no Accoyo in her and out of dark colored parents).
02: Constantino (sire: 4P Locota)- 04 Alpacapalooza fawn color champion. IgG 3400 and a 19 mn/17 cv fleece with 10 crimps per inch in his first two fleeces and is siring numerous award winners in all colors!
03: TB F, Chocolatey Claire by Donovan (Patagonia's Shakelton line).
04: W F, Lacey Truffles was considered "irreplaceable" by her owner.
Sadly, Snowy (enterotoxemia/pneumonia) and Lacey (dbl pit bull attack) both died as yearlings at their new owner's farms.
05: LF F, Golden Truffles (sire: Megabuck Mink).
06: Carmelina (modern gray by Nova's Nuance); gained one pound per day for her first nine days...wow...and went on to place 3rd in a class of 11 in and then Res. Champ. (42 entries / Alpacapalooza).
07: DB M by Megabuck named Star Packer, tripled 18 lb birth weight by 2 mos.
08: TB F, Royal Truffles by P. Tacitus. She's an Alianza/Accoyo/Sollocota/black Chilean cross and is beautiful.
