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.

Of all the outside purchases to enhance our program. She has been known to feed up to 4 babies at one time. Capulet is mother to all and passes along this trait to her daughters. We also purchased her mother to bring the right number of foundation dams to start producing white offspring for sale with the highest density integration into our herd. We strive to be the premiere white small breeders of the Northern and Western California Region. Capulet brings a new ability to infuse fiber density into our foundation animals. She is proven and gave us a beautiful foundation girl (Temptress) for our program. Every year I am so impressed with what she can produce. She has given us 3 female cria of good size and bone, lots of face & leg coverage, staple length and retained fineness. Capulet at age eight sheared almost 9 lbs of fleece. We want all breeders in the region to come to Colusa Riverside Alpacas for their white breeding needs or their need to integrate superior trait genetic values into their herd regardless of color. A breeding to one of our herdsires will guarantee fiber fineness and will bring about an offspring of extreme density. Capulet's dam is Juliette who is the elite El Nino Manchu' daughter. Outstanding genetics up and down. Capulet EPDs are totally respectable. The phenotype of her fiber is award winning. She has ideal conformation and perfect bite. There is no doubt Capulet's offspring will inherit superior density. As you can see from her EPDs she is ideal for a foundation dam for fleece density. This particular blood line has a high degree of accuracy and provides insurance that this dam will produce offspring predicted by these statistical rankings.
