Ganymede will be at AMAF in NY again this Summer! BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT VA TOO FAR TO GO? Contact us to discuss getting a breeding in VA, NY, or TX. Time is running out to purchase a breeding to Ganymede, the 2017 AOA Nat’l Supreme Champion. Color genotype: ee Aa. Can produce black! He's making Champions & Judges Choice offspring!! Extraordinary Offspring: CNTRL Ganymede's Hannah B, has 22 Championships and 4 Judges Choice awards competing as a fawn female -AND- she is the 2021/22 #5 female in the Nation!! AMAF Islamadora, has 20 Championships, including the 2024 AOA National Championship, and received her first Judges Choice award as a yearling in Fall of 2023! StrongShepherd Juno, is a 16x Champion & JC male, and CCNF (arguably the top breeding farm in the country) purchased half-interest in this incredible male to bring different genetics into their herd! "This male shows extremely strong fiber traits that should be passed to his offspring...Bred to top notch females, you should expect many champions." -- Comments from Dr. Norm Evans' biopsy report SKIN BIOPSY was performed at 30 months of age by Dr. Norm Evans in December 2017. Of note, his 15x scan shows large fiber clusters uniform in shape and placement within his connective tissue. His scan shows only 4 guard type hairs from the 6800+ fibers in his 10 MM tissue punch. His true density is 86.75 follicles per SQ MM of skin. He shows a level 2 of 4 gland structure, with an average S/P ratio of 14.1 to 1, and only 11% of his secondary fibers are medullated which is rare since the average is near 60%. His 250x scan shows the presence of many round secondary fibers, and one hundred typical secondary fibers averaged 17.8 microns — at 30 months old!! According to Dr. Evans 30 months is the recommended age for skin biopsies and gives the most accurate values. Full report available upon request. While Ganymede’s breeding fee is firm, we can offer attractive discounts on any solely owned herdsire in a multiple breeding package. We also have females available that have already been bred to Ganymede or can be purchased with a future breeding to him. Please give us a call to discuss. Ganymede is Co-Owned with Rancho Inca Alpacas located in Navasota TX

12/27/2019 Today was a sad day on the farm. We lost this beautiful gem - she was truly our favorite girl. Alivia gave us three beautiful girls and they are her legacy. We'll keep the one we still own...MMFA Elite Maxine. Alivia is a prime example of a breeding dam that has retained a high quality uniform fleece well into her mature years. With her uniformity and Vicuna coloring, she is a rare gem that is a fantastic addition to our foundation herd. Her crias are absolutely beautiful---each maintaining extremely fine crimp structure, incredible fineness and uniformity, and excellent staple length. They would be good candidates for Produce of Dam. Alivia is a great mom, and she proved herself with her August 2016 cria (out of Snowmass Royal Rose), WP Royal Lyvi (SOLD). She also proved that she can throw color! Lyvi is a light brown female with exquisite fleece characteristics. She won 2nd place in walking fleece (67.5/80) at 2018 Heart of Virginia right behind the Color Champion, who was none other than AMAF Lucy's Little Ricky -- a multi-champ and Judges Choice male. July 2017 cria, MMFA Elite Maxine, is out of The Elite Maximus. She is a beautiful white female with 2018 histogram stats of 15.3/3.5/22.6/0.3 and she received a blue ribbon at her first show. One of our very best dams is an Elite Maximus daughter with histogram stats of 18.5/3.5/19.0/0.6 at 5 years old---and passing it on with density to boot! We expect Elite Maxine to do the same. September 2018 cria, Ganymede's Summer Moon (SOLD), didn't disappoint. She's an extremely nice little girl that we can't wait to get into the show ring. She's been recently weaned and we hope to show her in Spring 2019. Her new owners will be showing her--yay! Alivia is out of the great SA Peruvian Apollo, an impact herdsire with more than 180 registered offspring and hundreds of descendants from there. He obviously received and passed on the amazing genetics of his parents, PPPeruvian Royal Fawn 6014 and PPPeruvian Aphrodite 5070, both direct imports that have contributed greatly to the positive progression of the alpaca industry today.

Congrats to Amanda, Trae & Ady! What a sweet and lovely girl! First impressions are that this little white female is going to be amazing! Strong bone, fine bright fleece, density and wonderful crimpy cria curls! This one was hard to part with for sure!

Her dam, SA Peruvian Alivia, is one of our favorites on the farm, and this little girl is quickly falling into the same category. Alivia is out of the great SA Peruvian Apollo, an impact herdsire with more than 180 registered offspring and hundreds of descendants from there. He obviously received and passed on the amazing genetics of his parents, PPPeruvian Royal Fawn 6014 and PPPeruvian Aphrodite 5070, both direct imports that have contributed greatly to the positive progression of the alpaca industry today.

Summer's incredible herdsire, GANYMEDE, is the 2017 AOA National Light Male Supreme Champion! 4X Judge's Choice + 11X Color Champion + 1X Best Bred & Owned at 29 months old & breeding! His fleece is the same ALL over! And, we're pretty sure he's passing it on! Ganymede has an advanced elite fleece, indeed, and a gorgeous, boxy conformation. Judges called it early on...and he achieved top honors at the 2017 AOA National Show as the Supreme Champion Light Huacaya Male, including the White Invited Male Color Championship, bringing his total to 11X Color Championships and 4X Judges Choice awards (PAOBA, CABO, TxOLAN, Nationals)...a Banner for every show he attended in the 2016/2017 show season!

Ganymede has an amazing fleece with an unbelievable structure and density. He exhibits a tight little zipper crimp with extreme uniformity, matchstick bundling, brightness and fineness across his fleece...the character lasting well down into his legs and belly. This is what the Judges have said:
"his fleece is the same from skin to tip, back to front, all over..."
...he is "the same...all over."
This is exactly what you want to hear.
