828970 White 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.

Take a look at her latest histogram trait values. Cat is now bred to Snow Diamond Chateau Cerise. His EPD picture is ideal, with low percentages in all traits across the EPD spectrum. The offspring of this pairing will be show ready.

Description
Riser's sIre, MSA Heminway's Bogart, has produced some of the finest alpacas in our breeding program and around the nation. Bogart a product one of the US last imports. He quickly made a name for himself. That fine fiber, longevity of fineness and EPDs carry through to his offspring regardless of the dam. Bogart has never went over 22 micron in his lifetime and was one of the US’s first persistently fine herdsires. This is a characteristic we see over and over in his offspring.
River Rising is a beautifully fleeced male. He is pet quality simply because his conformation is less than perfect. You can see from his histogram he has ideal fiber and fiber traits. His fiber will remain fine and beautiful throughout his lifetime given the longevity of fineness in his father, Hemingway's Bogart. Rising is gentle, he has been handled significantly. He has been to shows and tolerates changes in environment very well. He would make a great fiber animal for someone and even an alpaca in a petting zoo. He is a lovely little man who would be wonderful around children.
