Sire: APOCALYPSE'S HEMIACCOYO COPPERTOP ARI#
30849181 Medium Fawn 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.
Dam: EON Hadassah ARI#
31360579 Medium Fawn 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.
Service Sire: Eastwind's Snowstorm ARI#
848077 White Due Date: 6/2/2018 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.
EASTWIND'S SNOWSTORM - WHEN YOU NEED PROVEN, PREDICTABLE, & PREPOTENT
Description
Taylor has all the makings of being a powerhouse foundation girl. From her super-dense and super-fine, uniform fleece, to her championship pedigree from both mom and dad, the deck is stacked in her favor. She's a daughter of National Champion Hadassah who took the RC @ Nationals at almost 4 yrs in 2013, and her dad is none other than Apocalypse's Hemiaccoyo Coppertop who took the RC @ Nationals in 2012.
Based on her genetics and fleece characteristics, she'll likely show best with a mature fleece, but at her 2nd Juvi show she took 1st in a large competitive class.
While being smaller in size, Taylor shears one of the heaviest fleeces on the farm.
EPD ranking for fineness:
AFD -1.132 0.201 3247 of 35933 * TOP 10% OF ALL FEMALES
In May 2017 Taylor had a beautiful white female cria with Apocalypse. She's covered in very dense tight bundles of fiber. At this early date we expect her to win the "best crimp" award from this year's crop of crias.
She's currently expecting a Snowstorm cria. Given her density and his fineness, it should be a knockout.
Taylor is one of the smallest alpacas in our herd, but her 2017 fleece was over 9 lbs. Given our focus on breeding for larger alpacas, this isn't ideal for us. If you're looking for a smaller alpaca that's a fleece machine, she's your girl.
We are a small farm and need to make room for new up and coming cria. That's why we're offering an excellent female bred to Snowstorm at such a great price. At this price, she won't last long.
