Suri, Female, Proven | Medium Brown
ARI# 35077787, D.O.B. 6/26/2016, 5/8 Peruvian, 1/4 Bolivian, 1/8 Chilean
Sire: WAP Man-O-War by Maserati ARI#
32081626 Medium Brown Combining the unparalleled genetics of Torbio and Bruxo (both deceased) this male has all the qualities we look for in a suri herdsire - Presence, luster, suri phenotype, density, lock structure, and genetics.
Man-O-War sheared nearly 9 lbs. of fiber at less than 2 years of age with a micron of 27.5. The judges consistently placed him in the top half of his class and have commented on his luster and density. We had his fiber sorted by a Certified Fiber Sorter in 2023 and his 10 year old fleece got these comments, "Lovely, Lustrous, few guard hairs" and still carrying some grade 1 fiber!! Pretty amazing for a 10 year old male!
His first cria, Calista, garnered top award of Judge's Choice at the CABA Classic 2017 show as a juvenile!! Judges routinely commented on her long staple length (9" at 10 months of age!). Very heritable trait......Shown as a juvenile Calista won her classes both in regular halter class and Bred & Owned, including her Judge's Choice award!

Service Sire: Admiral's Commandor_deleted_7/5/2023 6:42:48 PM ARI#
1442564 Beige Due Date: 6/11/2021 Admiral's Commandor was truly an amazing alpaca and should be considered an elite herdsire! He has truly made a huge impact on not only our herd, but the herds of breeders who chose to add his genetics.
Co-Man is the son of Pival Accoyo Admiral by Accoyo Ace, two incredible pivotal herdsires in the suri world.
Co-Man won his first Color Championship at MAPACA 2005 at only 6.5 months of age at the biggest alpaca show at the time. During his show career, he earned a total of Ten-1st places, Eight Color Championships and Two Reserve Championships. He finished his first show season with becoming Light Color Champion at the 2005 AOBA National. All of this under 19 months of age. He finished in 2006 show year, earning 10 Championships!
Our Commandor kids continue to have success in the showring! Sir OliverTwist and his full sister, Olivia, competed in the ring for the first ever competition for Supreme National Champion! Both of them have earned Judge's Choice twice at large shows! Look out for our future Co-Man kids - they are taking top awards at all shows they compete in including Judge's Choice, Color Champion, Best Bred & Owned, etc.
We have several Commandor offspring for sale - check them out on our sales list. Please inquire if these genetics are in your sights - we have youngsters not yet listed. Make an impact for your herd with these genetics that are no longer being produced. Rest in peace, Co-Man. You will be sorely missed on this farm!
Description
This girl has it going on! A top placer in large shows as a juvenile and a yearling, Calista is ready to be a standout as a foundation female. At just 11 months of age, she was a Judge's Choice winner at the prestigious CABA Classic show! She also snagged 1st and Color Champion at the 2018 National show as a previously shorn female in her 2nd fleece - judges continue to comment on her staple length.
She carries excellent conformation and all the positive traits we look for in our suri herd. She is dense, fine, and has luster to spare! Her staple length measured 9" at 330 days of growth as a juvenile!
For Calista's maiden breeding, we chose our newest herdsire, Sir Oliver Twist. A 2X Judge's Choice male, Oliver has proven himself to the best judges in the country. Now we're proving his production prowess with one of our best females. Check out Calista's first cria, a light brown female, Madison, DOB 6/4/20. Very impressed by this little girl and you will be, too! Check her out at 2021 shows!
Given sire to Madison, Oliver Twist, was at co-owner's at breeding time, we bred Calista to Oliver's sire, Admiral's Commandor, our #1 go-to man on the farm! Expected delivery 6/21 and includes a live SURI cria guarantee.
