My award-winning huacaya alpaca herdsires possess great conformation with extra-soft fleeces that are highly uniform in density, crimp, and luster. As you can see from the images below, I'm also breeding for luscious solid colors.

Although a small ranch, I've carefully selected award-winning alpaca herdsires from superior genetic lines, such as Peruvian Hemingway, Dom Lucillio, Peruvian Royal Fawn, Peruvian Vengador, Shere Khan, Crescent Moon, Patagonia's Danko, and Lanark's Silver Charm. Many of my herdsires are the only representative of their genetic lines in Texas, so you get new genes for your breeding program.

My newest herdsire is El Capitan, a Hemingway son. El Cpaitan is the herdsire with persistent fiber fineness. At 11 years, he had an amazing fiber fineness of AFD 22.5!
