What can you say about Hemingway's Bogart other than he is renowned, WAS a one of a kind potent herdsire. Bogie's EPDs rival the best in the world. Bogart could challenge any young stud head to head for histogram results. After 18 years, his longevity is exemplary with his 2019 histogram at 22 AFD and an SD of 4.0 and CV of 17. Bogart is the direct descendant and on of Sire MSA Hemingway G171. We are very proud to have added this Hemingway son, to our small but genetically mighty white alpacas. Bogie is renowned for his remarkable, and extremely rare, combination of flawless fine fleece, genetic superiority and flawless fineness sustained thus far to the end of his second decade. He passed all this fleece trait production to his offspring. Compare Bogie to any male alpaca in AOA's EPD database and you will find he is superior to over 99% of all other for longevity of fineness and uniformity. Not only is Bogie superior, but because of his longevity as a herdsire, his accuracy values for each EPD trait is the highest in the database. This insures for you the customer, will be getting the improvement you expect. To go along with his outstanding EPDs, his follicle biopsy results insures density in his offspring. At age 12 he carries a DENSITY OF 60.4/MM, SECONDARY TO PRIMARY RATION OF 10.8:1 AND MEAN SECONDARY FIBER DIAMETER OF 21 AND STANDARD DEVIATION OF 2.5. Imagine what he was like at 2 years of age. BOGART IS OFFICIALLY RETIRED. IT IS TOO UNCOMFORTABLE TO BREED. HE HAS BEEN SUCH A SPECIAL ALPACA TO DAVE AND I. WE WISH WE COULD CLONE HIM.

This is a quality dam for any breeding program. Juliette will make the needed addition to our foundation with her lineage, fiber quality and EPD package. She is progeny of Derwydd El Nino's Accoyo Manchu and is now bred to our "Man". Juliette's EPDs are more than respectable. She is in Alpaca Owners Association EPD data base 1% ranking in Medulation and fiber weight. 1% in any one trait is a rare animal when you consider the hundreds of thousand alpacas in the United States. When we bought her we did not know her EPDs and bought her for her ability to bring fiber density offspring to compliment our EPD focus. We have now had 3 cria out of her, each have beautiful fiber, no conformation faults, so she is turning out to be a very valuable foundation dam. Juliette is of substantial stature. This will be a positive characteristic for the breeding longevity. She should have years of production. Renaissance Ridge description of Juliette reads "Full Peruvian 3/4 Accoyo well proportioned female with strong conformation". All of her offspring have done well in the show ring with one making a respectable showing at the 2015 Futurity. A look at Juliette's histogram she has some exceptional fiber character traits. Her staple length is quite good. It does no good to have fine fiber is it's length is so short as to make it impossible to spin. Her fineness is above average and the distribution of fineness of her fiber is acceptable in her Standard Deviation (SD) of 4.4 for her age. Her fiber trait EPD values are overall better than 90% of animals tested in the majority of traits measured. It is one thing to have this in one trait but not in 6 traits.

Snow Diamond Chateau Cerise is a Herd Sire who genetic picture is just what we utilize in our breeding. This boy will give more diversity to our already diverse genetics here at Colusa Riverside. Chateau is a package of genetics that include Matrix, Quechua, Accoyo Elite, and Legacy with a beginning lineage touch of Hemingway. Chateau is as dense as they can come. He is in the 1% for fleece weight. He is fine and uniform in his fineness. Take a look at his EPD genetic picture and what he can produce in his offspring. He definitely has excellent EPDs across all fiber trait values. At age 10 years he is carrying a SL greater than 90 mm, and a CV of 15. We chose him because his genetics will improve every fiber trait in his offspring, in every single trait. in 2023 his fiber yield was 11 pounds. He will also improve density and fleece weight significantly. Take a look at his 2022 histogram and show record. We recently had his offspring at the California Classic and Gold County Gathering, duel shows. They all placed particularly well in every showing. In walking fleece white and light his offspring got repeated positive comments from Judge Amanda regarding their long staple, beautiful handle and brightness. Chateau's bone mass is extensive. Most importantly he has a very gentle demeanor. For anyone wanting to breed he is a genetic steal at $1000. Give us a call or an email, we would love to hear from you. We have multiple dams pregnant by Chateau.
