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

Thank you, Fred & Jane! We can't wait to see her cria, so please send pictures! Ultrasound positive 1/28/2022. Lilly’s a solidly built girl with a gorgeous fleece. She's out of a phenomenal herdsire, Snowmass Loro Piana, who is in the top 1% EPD's for AFD & SF, and top 10% for SDAFD. Lilly has been bred to our newest herdsire, 3X Champion KCF Magnetar, with the hope that she’ll produce a female offspring that we can eventually breed back to Ganymede (assuming that she’s not sold with this cria on board). Magnetar is from a Matrix Majesty line on the dam’s side and his sire, KCF Isidoro, is a 17x Champion with many rare accolades, including 2 Spirit of the Industry awards (retaining excellent fleece characteristics well into his mature years--awarded at the age of 7!). Magnetar has a beautiful fleece that has a very long staple, excellent fineness and uniformity, and crimp across his blanket. We are hoping for a phenomenal fawn offspring from this pairing in Spring of 2022. Lilly’s fleece has good density, and she carries very good staple length. Lilly also has a good substance of bone and overall phenotype, which come from her dam’s side as well as her sire’s. Lilly has shown her ability to create extremely robust offspring and the pairing of Lilly with Ganymede has not disappointed...Lilly’s beautiful 25.1 pound male cria, Jupiter, was born on 6/2/21 and he’s looking spectacular! Lilly also produced a very nice 19.4 pound female cria, Celeste, born on 5/19/20! Lilly's sire, Snowmass Loro Piana was the best producer of fineness at Snowmass, and it is a lasting fineness – he had a 16 micron fleece at age five. Now that Loro Piana has been sold and moved abroad, there are a limited number of his female offspring available here in the U.S. We were fortunate to obtain two of his female offspring. Think about adding these elite genetics to your herd! Call or email us for additional information. [email protected]

Thank you, Fred & Jane for your purchase! We suggest breeding Celestial Moonlight to Ice Man by Kingfish. We believe these genetics will produce a superb outcome for the resultant offspring. We're excited about this cross with Elite Legend on both sides!

In her only show, as a juvie, "Celeste" brought home two Blue Ribbons in the 2020 VAOBA Expo and the 2020 VAOBA Fall Derby halter classes. She has a very nice fleece and she is well grown for her age. Celeste carries the incredibly potent genetics of her amazing dam and sire, and she'll be an extremely good production female.

Her dam, Snowmass Loro Lilly, is the offspring of a phenomenal herdsire, Snowmass Loro Piana, who is in the top 1% EPD's for AFD & SF, and top 10% for SDAFD. Loro Piana was the best producer of fineness at Snowmass, and it is a lasting fineness – he had a 16 micron fleece at age five. Loro Lilly’s fleece has good density, and she carries very good staple length. Loro Lilly also has a gorgeous frame with substance of bone and overall phenotype.

Her sire, Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede, is a 15X Banner winner, including 4X Judges Choice male and the 2017 AOA National Supreme Light Male Champion! See his webpage for more info.

Note: Best pricing for packages of 3 or more alpacas.
