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.
Dam: RR Priscilla ARI#
32661972 White Priscilla is a gem of a foundation female. At age one she has histogram average fiber diameter of 16 and at 3 it is only 19. She has other trait characteristics that are also very desirable, such as a CV of 10 and a SD of only 3.7. Her fiber density is as good as it gets with her father being Snowmass RRoyal Stars whose density skin biopsy is one of the best in the world. Priscilla has fineness and density, a grower's dream for a foundation dam. Her latest cria is out of Hemingway's Bogart and she is gorgeous. If you purchase Priscilla she will come with a breeding to one of our herdsire with a guarantee of offspring improvement and guarantee of producing offspring.
Priscilla not only has fine fiber but her Standard Deviation of fine fiber is 3.7. This SD is an exceptional indicator of uniformity of fine fiber across her fleece. If you look at her expected progeny determinations below on her standard deviation of AFD she should also pass along this uniformity of fineness trait to her offspring. We will show Priscilla at IAO this year in both halter and walking fleece. Take a look at Priscilla's histogram included on this webpage. It is truly outstanding in all fiber character traits.
We have purchased Priscilla and a number of foundations dams known to have good density or bred to a stud known to have exceptional density. We have made those purchases to insure our production line of alpacas will possess the density necessary for what we want to offer our customers. Plus we will striving, in our breeding program, to produce the ideal alpaca with the ideal fleece both in fineness and density. Priscilla has produced just over 8 lbs of fiber at every shearing. That is density and she is small framed.
Priscilla's trait values below are a set of well rounded values that represent improvement in 7 out of 9 traits. These kinds of values are important in a dam being used for breeding improvement. There is no one individual value that is a "Wow" v
Service Sire: Snow Diamond Chateau-Cerise ARI#
32731651 White Due Date: 10/29/2021 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.
Description
Passion is one of our last dams out of Hemingway's Bogart. Soft white and full fleeced medium sized girl. Has that Bogie conformation, longevity of fineness and improved fleece. The density that Bogie puts on his offspring is certainly an added benefit. Dam Priscilla is out of Snowmass RRoyal Stars also renowned for his fiber density. We expected good things from the pairing of Bogart and Priscilla, and got it in Passion. We lost Dam Priscilla so Passion became even more important in our breeding program. Passion was bred to Snow Diamond Chateau Cerise and his first cria is on the ground. Chateau has all the phenotype attributes and EPDs for a working sire to produce quality offspring.
Passion is packed with fine fiber. Her shear weight since age 3 was 6+ pounds for the past 3 years. Passion's AFD is 19 with an SD of 3.5 at age two. Her staple length is quite good, luster and brightness is beautiful. Nice Handle and best of all very rare guard hairs. Passion's SD is less than 4.0 and fibers greater than 30% is 0.7%, confirming what I observed, very few guard hairs and good uniformity.
Passion's EPD values are wonderful. She is at 5% ranking in all the top 4 fineness fiber traits. She is well improved over the national norm for 7 of 8 trait values. She will improve her offspring in all these fiber traits making her a very valuable foundation dam, not just minor improvement but major improvements. See her most recent 2021 EPD values under the EPD icon: Chateau will certainly compliment Passions EPD picture with his 2021 EPD picture.
