Snowmass Tranquility
Tranquility is a terrific alpaca in her own right; she reveals not only
conformational but fleece qualities that one would seek in a solid
foundation female. Add to this her wonderful history of top notch
production and you have an enticing alpaca to consider!
Her
lineage is terrific too; Tranquility is a Snowmass Royal Rose daughter,
known by many as "the maker of champions who makes champions": See her
sires impressive resume below!
Tranquility is a terrific mom as
well - one of the most conscientious of all the dams here at Island
Alpaca. She is the most watchful, and nurturing to her cria.
We
are not excited to sell her, as she has produced some marvelous
offspring. We have three beautiful cria at the farm, Frida and Calvin.

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! |
