Dam: |
Nova's Twilight
Twilight is a presence on the pasture, very big-boned, and statuesque.
Her lineage leaves little to be desired, Sired by Snowmass Nova and Shadz of Midnight.
She
is a very young and attentive mother, a terrific milker, and has given
us beautiful, healthy cria, (2 female and one male) without event. Each
one was over 18 pounds at birth with very strong IgG levels. Afteil,
Island Alpaca Bella Notte, Island Alpaca Trevi, Spock of Island Alpaca,
and this year, a male who is showing great promise, Teodoro, a brown,
with a 16.6 micron.
Her maternal, half-sister, Snowmass
Midnight's Gold had a cria that was the highest selling maiden female in
the world, for its time in the last ten years.

Sire: |
Chase Tavern Estrada
Estrada is a well-balanced male from two top parents. His Sire,
Evander does it again with this amazingly dense, fine fleece male with
a great handle and luster, extensive coverage and a great body. With
his 2010 shearing, Estrada had over 10 pounds of fleece, which is an
incredible 6+% of his overall body weight!
We are very excited to have Estrada in our breeding program. Alpaca judge, Wade Gease has said about Estrada, "He is the "complete package". Very nice fleece style and crimp formation throughout. He has kept his fineness/softness." Also, recently, Judge David Barboza has said about Estrada: "His architecture and density is incredible! Spot on!" And Alpaca Fleece Judge, Cheryl Gehly has written: "Wow! Fine with great character! Quite uniform for micron." "Beautiful Fleece: fine, bright, well organized!". awarding him first place in the competition, and again, after the
fleeces third showing at the 2009 Empire Symposium and Fleece Event, she
commented again; "Beautiful Fleece: fine, bright, well organized!". Most recent fleece circuit, Estrada's fleece (its fourth showing) took yet another blue at PAOBA show, May, 2009.
To
date, Estrada has multiple Champ/Reserve Championships, and over twenty
first-place, blue-ribbon awards. See the details of his show record
below, most in very competitive classes!
In 2009, Estrada's Fleece
won the reserve Championship, and took first place in his class over
another amazing alpaca who won the 2008 Futurity Championship that had
54 entries in the class!
Both dam and sire have produced Championship winners so his future is extremely promising indeed.
Estrada
is settling females. Traditional farm breedings with confirmed
pregnancy, stud fee: $2,500, $2,000, mobile*, and $1,500 for drive-by
breeding.
Please compare this champ to other herd-sires with similar show records. You will find him to be a terrific value!
