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.

CoCo makes very fine fiber, tall large boned offspring. CoCo's daughter, River's Crystal Kiernan took color champion at the 2013 International Alpaca Odyssey in dark halter. CoCo's daughter took reserve color champion at the 2013 California Classic. CoCo is a big girl with rich solid brown fine fiber. She is priced to sell. The choice of a good herdsire breeding combination brought to CoCo's Cria more density, softness, richness, and crimp, but the offspring gets stature, bone and conformation from this elegant dam. She will make a good foundation dam with these attributes. CoCo's first AFD at 20 months is 20.4 and this past year at age 9 she is still has an AFD of 20.7 microns. That is true consistency of fiber. No change over 6 years. LOOK UNDER THE FIBER TAB TO SEE COCO'S EPDs. This is incredible consistancy of fineness. That alone makes this girl a good proven dam. CoCo is out of Bartolomeo Arrogante. Barolomeo's progeny have increased size, solid confirmation, significant bone mass, color, with improved fiber fineness and density. CoCo has given us cria every year since we have owned her, she was one our first purchase of an alpaca. She conceives easily, gives birth easily and is a great mother with plenty of milk. CoCo has a beautiful head, perfect bite, is healthy, still young and ready to give you years of production. We owned her mother, grandmother and father, we saw three generations of improvement. CoCo is priced to sell, and her price is certainly not a reflection of her quality. We are focusing our breeding goals toward white alpacas and CoCo would work much better for a breeder of color. SOMETIMES IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO BREED FOR SIZE, STATURE AND CONFORMATION AND NOT JUST FOR THE SHOW RING FIBER. CoCo has proven that she can produce a champion. Start your breeding decision with the alpaca frame and then go to the fiber. This is how we used CoCo and the results were River's Crystal Kiernan who had it all. She can also do that for your breeding program. SEE UNDER FIBER TAB TO SEE EPDS
