Alpacas for Sale in Georgia

Only hours after Coppertop was born and once he had the chance to dry out, we predicted that he would one day win the coveted “Judges’ Choice’ halter award. We held him off to only do one show as a juvenile, and at ten months, he went to the CABA Classic, and won the “Triple Crown” of awards- first place in the dark fawn juvenile, then Fawn Male Championship, then finally, Judges’ Choice. As a yearling, Coppertop continued to excel, winning several more first places and championships in both halter and fleece. In 2011, his fleece took the Fawn Championship at CABA and had the highest fleece score of ALL fleece entries at the show.

We searched farms from coast to coast looking for that perfect foundation female... and that search ended when we discovered Hadassah. She's the perfect combination of lingering fineness, density, conformation, bone structure, pedigree, and show performance. We stocked the barn with those rare girls that would be hard to replace. Judges comments said she was the finest in her class, as low as a 14 micron. All we could say is WOW!!!! Give us a call to find out more about her. Take at look at this girls show record for 2013 CC at GWAS and RC at the AOBA Nationals at almost 4 years old. Her skin biopsy was done as a 6 year old with reported density of 66 follicles per SQ MM. Norm reported absolutely NO medullation in secondary fibers and he commented that "this female shows no weakness of fiber traits."EPD ranking for fineness:AFD -1.815 0.362 851 of 39442 * TOP 2.2% OF ALL FEMALESOn 12/11/17 Hadassah gave birth to a beautiful medium fawn (vicuna styled) Snowstorm sonI know you have to be wondering why we'd let such a beautiful female go for this price. She really is spectacular. She delivered 3 beautiful cria for us. The first and third needed assistance. Not a big deal if you're keeping an eye on her. Unfortunately, she has a milking issue that causes her babies to have enough milk to keep them going, but not enough to thrive. We've bottle fed each of her offspring until 3 months when they go on hard food. Her daughter doesn't have this milk issue so we don't think it's genetic. She can create spectacular cria for a farm that understands the work involved.

As-of Jan. 2017, Snowstorm offspring took home a halter class banner from the AOA/AOBA National Show 3 out of the last 4 years, and brought home 1st place halter ribbons from the AOA/AOBA National Show 5 out of the last 6 years.

In addition to being a multi-champion himself... Snowstorm's offspring have received 30 banners and over 100 1st & 2nd place ribbons. His ability to endow offspring with excellent conformation and advanced fleece traits has been validated in the showring, with offspring receiving many color champion & judges choice awards. From his first cria to the most recent one who was awarded Color Champion in both AOA National Halter & Fleece shows in 2016.

"Fineness, crimp, density, uniformity, coverage, excellent conformation, and a beautiful head. This alpaca is the TOTAL PACKAGE." Those were the words of Dr. Julio Sumar (Peru) when he was awarding Snowstorm his first blue ribbon.

If you're looking for more objective data, check out his EPDs. Of standing studs that have Color Championships in a halter class, Snowstorm has the highest published EPDs for improving fineness, and also the highest for curvature. While individual traits are important, we breed for a combination of traits. Snowstorm is the top male for improving fineness, curvature, and fleece weight of standing studs with halter banners. (based on 2016 EPDs - top 20 AFD sorted by MC - Snowstorm is #1, and has the highest AFW of halter champions).Snowstorm had an 18 micron fleece in year 1, and only a 20.3 micron fleece in year 6.  At 15 years old he had a 21 micron AFD on his 2018 histogram. That's the kind of lingering fineness everyone should be breeding for. His first year histograms were taken at shoulder, mid-side, and hip. The AFD scores were all between 18.0 and 18.4 micron, showing amazing uniformity. Not only is he fine and consistent, but he shears over 10 lbs of fine, uniform fleece.Snowstorm is a grandson of SNOWMASTER who was sold to a farm in Australia for \$250,000 and then imported back to Peru because of his incredible genetics. There are very few male offspring in this country to carry on his incredible genetics. Snowstorm is one of them.By any measure he is an impressive and unique herdsire. Based on EPDs, progeny, pedigree, and measurable traits, we know he'll improve the offspring of just about any female.
