Shady Alpaca Ranch

Description

HeavenLee Mountain Shasta genetics are exciting. Both her sire and dam have top EPDs for several traits and have longevity of low AFD. We are excited to have Shasta to start our breeding program.

Dam is Carra Mia: Arguably the top female in N. America in her age group! Susan Telez told us, "Never sell this one" when she did the S.H.I.P. herd evaluation for EPDs and she was right. We recently received word from ARI that she is 1st in North America for EPD's in three categories, spin fineness, % > 30 microns, % medullated fibers. AOA featured Carra Mia in a looped presentation at AOA National 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 National Shows. She has consistently been in the top 1& of EPD;s in 4 categories. Carra Mia is the daughter of Pperuvian Miquel, She carried a very dense fleece with a high degree of luster and independent lock structure. 22 micron AFD at 10 years of age. Cara Mia is an excellent mom who has easy, unassisted births and an abundance of milk and hopefully we will see the same from her daughter.

OUTSTANDING BIOPSY AT AGE 15: 52.75 follicles per SQ/MM, SP ratio of 11.4 to 1, 4 of 4 gland presence, variation between secondary and primary = 12.65, & AFD = 23.58. Dr. Norm Evans said, "Another female that is years ahead of her time. Hope you saved some of her offspring."

Sire is SBS Kahuna’s Bahati
This unique combination of famous genetic lines [KAHUNA with CROWN ROYALE] has produced a Show Winning Male who exhibits the highest Uniformity of Micron (at 14.6% CV) and the lowest percentage (1.2%) of fibers over 30 microns. His Dense fleece shows uniform locks with a Wave–to-the-Twist style and an extremely COOL slick handle, so ideal for Suri fiber production. This young stretchy male, will attracts attention wherever he goes …. To your Herd or to the Show Ring … and producing superior offspring. These genetics for DENSITY will certainly add dimension to any breeding program.
