Pheromone (Pheri) is listed for a bargain price. She has EPDs in the near 1% in fiber weight and staple length fiber traits. Pheri puts ample staple length on all her babies if that is what you are looking for. She is presently out of our breeding program as a dam because we have multiple females out of Pheri that are now much finer. That does not mean she can do the same thing for your ranch. These two traits she expresses on her cria are extremely important when choosing a breeding female. You won't find a better price for this wonderful producing dam. Pheri is our easiest breeder, she has uneventful births, she is large, well conformed, produces ample milk and is a great mother. We would also consider Pheromone in a package sale. The value of Pheremone is her ability to pass along fiber weight and staple length to her crias. Her genetics for fiber fineness is average but she puts lots of fiber on her crias. She is a great starter dam in any breeding program to pass along fiber weight which really means fiber length plus density. Pheromone's second offspring Contender's Prodigy was evaluated by Dale Davis and characterized his fleece as the best on the ranch. This 2012 offspring took fourth place at I.A.O. in both halter and walking fleece. He took 2nd place in halter at the California Classic. Pheromone with the right breeding for fineness can produce exceptional offspring. She is young, with many years of production. This dam is gentle, easy to handle and has ideal conformation & temperament. The progeny from Pheri are consistently well above her quality, but her EPDs simply don't fit into our trait enhancement at this time. If you would like her bred to Bogart, we will give you a screaming deal. Bogarts AFD is 22 microns at age 16. We base our foundation females on EPDs values that are all better than the national norms and Pheri does not meet that threshold, but as a proven dam she would add to any foundation herd. Pheri is out of the Caligula breeding line and her fiber represents that type of architecture.

PROPHECY'S EPDS ARE IN THE TOP percentages OF ALL MALE ALPACAS IN THE NATION! Colusa Riverside Alpacas is proud to have integrated this boy's genetics into our herd, Bluegrass Peruvian Prophecy from Stargazer Alpacas. Prophecy brings to Colusa Riverside those EPD production genetics for our customers in California and beyond. He is 9 year old and still has an AFD of 23. We now have several progeny from Prophecy and true to EPD predictions, they all have the expected improvement in fineness and other positive traits this herdsire contributed to each pairing. Prophecy's River Phoenix, his first male progeny, has 4 fiber traits in the AOA 1% Club. Prophecy also has been sustaining his own fiber fineness from year to year. Unlike many farms we do fiber analysis every year, we want studs who maintain their fineness. Be cautious of those farms that only give fiber histograms for their studs when they were very young. Breeding to Prophecy is a guarantee you will obtain the improvement in your offspring you want, no guesswork, no chances, just predictable fiber improvement based upon reliable statistical genetic inheritance. Out of 14,637 male alpaca tested by ARI, Prophecy's genetic fiber predictability (EPD) was better than 98% of all others tested. With the right pairing of a dam from your ranch, Prophecy could produce a member of the EPD 1% Club of your own. Prophecy's breeder described his fiber as having great staple length, bundling architecture and uniform character down his thighs and shoulder to his knees. He is extremely fine. Prophecy's pedigree lists foundation Accoyos both top and bottom. Accoyos Sicuani, Vengador, Pucara and Felix contribute generations of density, staple length and uniformity. In addition to staple length, Hemingway is in his lineage and is widely known for passing on fineness that many Accoyos may lack. An important value in EPD determination is the level of accuracy. All of Prophecy's EPDs carry a high degree of accuracy, probably some of the highest accuracy values in the database. Prophecy has his first & second crop of offspring on the ground this year and each show impeccable conformation, health, bites and fiber quality. FOR THE DISCERNING E.P.D.

Goldie is a very promising young dam for any breeding program as seed stock. Her mother givers her fiber length, stature, bone, and conformation. Bogie will give her improvement in fiber traits. Her mother is easiest birther we have on the ranch. She breeds quickly and has uncomplicated births to good sized healthy cria.

Gold has two very rare EPD traits in the 1% & 5% club of AOA. Those traits are for staple length and fiber weight, with 1% for fiber weight and 5% for staple length. Both of these values are a reflection her density and her ability to pass along density to her offspring. At age three, she still has a staple length of over 100 mm. This makes for a good basis as a seed stock for a program needing to integrate more staple length and density in their program.

Gold is presently being bred to our Herdsire, Majestic's A Man Among Men. This offspring should have improved overall fiber traits, especially the fineness traits, with little loss to her ideal staple length. Gold is a proven dam, she was an easy breeding and gave birth easily as well. One breeding to Man and all those fiber traits will improve considerably.
