Sire: MSA Hemingway's Bogart ARI#
828970 White Bogie has a new home! We are very proud to announce that our shares in Bogart have been purchased by COLUSA RIVERSIDE ALPACAS, effective March 23, 2013. We are leaving Bogie's page here for a while, for reference, but for the Big Man himself, please contact Colusa Riverside Alpacas, and also, SEE BOGIE's NEW WEBPAGE at Colusa's Open Herd site.
A truly remarkable Hemingway son, he's still got it all, at age 11! Bogart retains his elite fleece as well as his flawless masculine conformation and naturally (never trimmed) perfect bite. Heavy bone, great density, large working units driving a very healthy libido, yet ever the gentleman. This combination of characteristics is nearly impossible to find. I know because I looked for a long time to find a stud with Bogie's combination of lingering fineness, extreme uniformity, sustained fleece curvature, and absolutely correct, solid confirmation. Gorgeous deep chest and strong straight forequarters, well sprung barrel. perfect hindquarters and leg articulation, built like a draft horse. See fiber data on right for 2009-2011; see earlier shearing history at NorthwestAlpacas.com.
A time-honored strategy for choosing a stud is to 1) identify stud candidates that demonstrate the qualities you desire for your herd, 2) maximize the likelihood that the stud can pass those desirable traits on to his offspring, and 3) maximize the likelihood that your stud, as well as his offspring, will KEEP those good qualities through a long productive lifetime. Bogart has met all those challenges with flying colors. Bogart's EPDs rank in the TOP 1% of ALL HUACAYAS for AFD, SDAFD, %>30, MC, and SDMC. With Bogart, you can be assured that his offspring will be improved in fineness, uniformity, crimp, and conformation.
The proof of his EPD predictions can be seen in his babies on our sales/sold lists. He has produced both tiny-corkscrew and true silky fleeces; see the pictures for Blessing, Lance, Remix, and Silk Rogue, and Blessing in t

Description
This little boy could be the one. He has world class EPDs on both sides with Father Studmaster Hemingway's Bogart and Mother Rolex's White Diamond. Both parents are in the top 1% of EPD for white alpacas. Silver Proteus has conformation and fiber coverage from the tip of his nose to tail. He has genetics, looks, fiber and EPDs. There is no doubt his EPDs will be the same or better than his Mom or Dad. Bogarts EPDs are in the top 10 herdsires for insuring an increase in finess in offspring, and his mother is in the top 10 dams for increasing fineness of fiber in her offspring. Both Dam and Herdsire are elite white ideal alpacas. You can have a top EPD herdsire in a couple of years with Proteus.
