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.

If you want to see how important EPD values are, all you have to do is look at River's Sophia's EPD picture. Sophie's Dam LaPoudre has a mediocre EPD picture. But paired with Prophecy, her offspring's fiber and fiber traits are dramatically improved. Sophia's now can guarantee the production of offspring better than herself. This is the beauty of EPDs, it can give you a predictable outcome in offspring. Start to integrate outstanding EPDs in your foundation herd today. Sophia will enable her buyer to improve their herd's quality of fiber, integrate superior EPDs in each offspring, and all at very reasonable prices. She is now bred to Hemingway's Bogart so any offspring will be outstanding in EPD and in fiber phenotype given this pairing. Colusa Riverside has been working since its inception to build a superior EPD herd. We are now at that place in our business goals where we have many superior trait values in our animals that we can offer to our customer and at reasonable prices. Sophia is one of our home grown offspring with desirable traits. The best part of the sale of Sophie is that she comes with a breeding to MSA Heminway's Bogart. Bogie, a Hemingway's son still carries a low AFD of 22 at age 15 years. We are now integrating into our sales herd the genetics of one of the most prolific gifted studs, Hemingway's Bogart. Sophia's actual fiber characteristics are also excellent. The 2014 histogram AFD is 16.0. Sophia's father Prophecy was purchased from Stargazer Ranch, noted for their superior animals. Prophecy is the son of Accoyo America Apocolypse. Sophia has her first cria on the ground and predictably the cria already has dense crimpy cria fiber. This BREEDING TO OUR AOA 1% CLUB STUDS AND THIS PAIRING IS PRODUCING OFFSPRING IN THE 1% CLUB regardless of gender. For the discerning customer, take a look at the fiber tab which shows just how much improvement is possible with our studs. 2016 EPD Fiber Trait Results: Trait

FOR SALE, 50% OWNERSHIP IN MAJESTIC'S MAN AMONG MEN!!!! Majestic's Man, a Jumanji son, has it all. This pre-potent male now has 28 offspring. Most importantly a long winning show record for Man and his offspring for both fleece and halter. Man's show record as a juvenile is unmatched, starting with the 2016 Futurity and ending with being in the running for Supreme Champion at the 2017 AOA Nationals. Majestic's Man's fleece density is likely in the top 100 alpacas in the AOA database. His 2022 fleece weighed in at 14.5 pounds. This trait of density is definitely passed on to his offspring. His fleece weight EPD is 1.25%. Now, having had many offspring of Man's in my herd, I can assure anyone interested in breeding that he will produce density in all his cria. One of his offspring, Rockstar's Material Girl took all the top fleece honors at the Gold Country Gathering in 2021. Majestic's Man's fiber and phenotype are all Jumanji. The only difference is his fiber is light, but don't let the light fiber shy you away, there is ample color in his background. Man has been genetically color tested and those results are available upon request. During his show career, every time his fleece was shown it was classified as white, in halter beige. Man's breeder Faye Farley of Majestic Meadows describes Man Among Men as having a "Breathtaking fleece and breathtaking phenotype". "An excellent combination for sure!" All you have to do is look at this fiber and you know he was destined for greatness. AOA agrees by giving Man a first place in white male juvenile fleece in 2016 AOA National Fleece show. The most striking quality is his uniformity. We purchased him on the spot and then he went into the show ring at six months. He won first for light and color champion in a very large 2016 field of alpacas.
