Many thanks to Wendi and Russell James of Little Providence Alpacas in Reno, Nevada for this donated breeding to Ephraim! Density, fineness, locking and luster! This male has it all, and has the capacity to pass these traits on to his progeny. His EPD scores are in the top 5% to 15% for almost every category--no surprise because his sire and dam also score in the top EPD percentiles. Ephraim is a son of the incredible Big Timber Josef, who has countless championships and champion crias. Josef is a son of the almost legendary Pucara Kahuna: for many years the star of the famed Pucara herdsire lineup. Ephraim's dam is also a champion and brings in genetics from Apache II , Uribe, Bruxo, and Mallory Jane. Take a look at Ephraim's show record--he has excelled in BOTH walking fleece and halter categories, with several championships in each! He clearly has an all-star profile that you want represented in your herd!

We knew this girl was special when we first saw her. She's our ranch ambassador and official greeter who makes friends with everyone she meets. If there was a competition for "Miss Congeniality" she would surely take the championship. Her official AOA color category is "Fancy." That's Apollonia alright! And with her impressive genetics we expected her to do well in the show ring. Now it's confirmed. Top 5% EPDs! First place ribbons! Amazing luster! ! Here's what the judges had to say. "Good uniformity of micron in both colors!" - Cheryl Gehly, 2021 AOA National Fleece Show "Soft hand to this fleece with good weight relative to fineness." - Diana Timmerman, 2021 Suri Network Fleece Show This Spring we had the incredible good luck to arrange Apollonia's first breeding to Little Providence Joseph's Ephraim, a multi-champion himself with near perfect EPDs. We're trying hard to manage our expectations for this cria who will arrive next Spring.

AOA# 32440591DOB: 7/23/201312 yrs

Proudly co-owned with Big Timber Alpacas, Derwydd Alpacas and Feather and Fur Ranch. We are excited to add the infamous Eagle Valley Spirit Dancer to our herdsire row. He is a a mult-champion male who has produced many champion offspring. His fiber stats support his champion reputation with his top 1% EPD traits and amazing histograms all the way to nine years of age. In addition to his fineness and uniformity, Spirit Dancer’s skin biopsy done in 2021 shows a follicle density of 64.5. All in all, outstanding fiber traits he has retained as he ages. Spirit Dancer is a well formed male with excellent conformation and is easy to handle. All positive traits we look for in a breeding male. He is closed to outside breedings, but check with us about available offspring in the near future.

Description

With great genetics on both sides -- We had high hopes when we matched up Apollonia with Little Providence Josef's Ephraim. And we are thrilled with the result! She's just what we were hoping for, and we're expecting her to be an important contributor to our breeding program for years to come. Jolene is Apollonia's daughter for sure. She's very comfortable around humans and is a solidly calm, sweet young girl. She's also shaping up to be quite a beauty. We're excited to get her into the show ring this Spring! UPDATE: Her beautiful fleece was so fine it became very cotted as an unshorn juvenile, and the judges all said "can't wait to see this fleece next year!" Due to unfortunate farm circumstances we were unable to attend shows in Spring 2025 when we expected her to really shine. So we decided to breed Jolene instead. She is due in Spring 2026 with a cria from the amazing Eagle Valley Spirit Dancer!
