This Jumanji son has it all. Most importantly a winning show record for both fleece and halter. We purchased A Man Among Men at the 2016 futurity and he has been winning every since. His record as a juvenile is unmatched, starting with the 2016 Futurity and ending with being in the running for Supreme Champion at the 2017 AOA Nationals. At the nationals he received light color champion in the Invited light classification. Man now has many babies on the ground that truly reflect all his elite qualities. Take a look below at this 3 year long winning record. When we looked at this boy at the futurity, Dave & I were simply blown away. I have never seen fiber this beautiful. His full brother was the high seller at the 2016 Futurity auction. Not only is his fiber incredibly dense it is long with the most luster & character I have ever seen. And this was not just our appraisal, everyone at the show were amazed by he and his full brother's fiber. A Man Among Men's breeder is Faye Farley of Majestic Meadows. Majestic Meadows was awarded breeder of the year and owns Herdsire of the year, Jumanji, Man's sire . We are so honored to have the progeny of this Herdsire of the Year at our ranch. Man Among Men's fiber and phenotype is all Jumanji. The only difference is his fiber is light, but don't let the light fiber shy you away, there is ample color in his background. We purchased him on the spot and then he went into the show ring he won first for light and color champion in a very large 2016 field of alpacas. Man's breeder Faye Farley of Majestic Meadows describes Man Among Men as having a "Breathtaking fleece and breathtaking phenotype". An excellent combination for sure!" All you have to do is look at this fiber and you know he is destined for greatness. AOA agrees by giving Man a first place in white male juvenile fleece in 2016 AOA National Fleece show. The most striking quality is his uniformity. His histogram value for uniformity is outstanding. Check out his histogram and in particular his standard deviation for average fiber diameter at 2.9. His entire histogram is exceptional. His fleece is bright, has magnificent luster and a handle to die for. A Man Among Men has lots of color in his background. His full brother is brown and his mother and father are dark fawn. Grandmother and Grandfather on mother's side are dark brown and true black respectively. His color breeding will be versatile in producing both light and dark with the right pairings. Man has many cria on the ground after starting his breeding career. All outside breeding have produced beautiful offspring that have also produced breed backs by satisfied customers.

This female brings together Mom's lineage of Caliente and Dad's Lineage of Hemingway. She will prove to be a promising foundation dam for us or for a lucky buyer. Faith's dam Catarina has density and fineness and so does her sire. Mom Catarina, has one of the most well rounded genetic pictures for trait improvement in our herd and also when much better than the national herd. Faith has this same well rounded histogram and EPD trait portrait. Her EPD for staple length is a rank of 20%. So, in combination with her fineness values in the 5% to 15% ranges this makes an ideal fiber character trait she will pass on to her offspring. Hemingway's Bogart stamps all of his offspring with longevity of fineness. Dam Caterina at age 13 is 23 microns for AFD. Bogart's AFD at age 19 is 22, SD of 4 and the same CV. This is longevity Faith has no doubt inherited. Faiths fiber is extremely fine, she has excellent staple length, her luster and handle are also nice. She is quite dense with few guard hairs. You can see from her fleece pictures on this page she has luster, broad crimp, staple bundles, and good density. Faith is the whole package from both actual fiber trait quality and the genetic predictability to pass those favorable traits to her offspring. Faith is presently bred to our new Stud Snow Diamond Chateau Cerise. Chateau's will improve their offspring even more. Faith is an easy breeder at age 3 years. Faith is 3rd generation in our breeding program of white alpacas. Her EPD picture is very desirable for a seed stock dam. I am especially pleased with the fineness traits with no loss of staple length. It is very difficult to get grade 1 fineness and excellent staple length together, we have been breeding for that combination over the past 5 years. This combination is now present in our new stud Chateau Cerise and in most of our farms offspring. We have essentially bred out ultrafine fiber and short staple combinations in nearly all of our females. Take a look at her EPDs under the strand of DNA link on this page.
