AutumnSun's RIMPAC

This girl has fine, soft fleece with a lovely brightness and small, even crimp style. Her conformation and health has no issues. She is a sweetheart and a great mom! We dry lot (feed mostly hay rather than pasture feed) and so our alpacas get their teeth trimmed as needed annually. Well, we weren't paying attention to Navy and one time a few years back we let her teeth overgrow before we noticed. So, her teeth are bit skewed now to the side but her jaw alignment is good and she was not like this in her youth and developmental years. Navy's sire is the many time champion Sunset Hill's Golden Thunder, who brought to the table awesome crimp, density, uniformity and staple. Navy is the daughter of a DB dam proven to produce black when bred to black; her granddam was also a brown that would produce black and grey when bred right. For her first cria, she was bred to our reserve light champion, Supermassive, to bring that massive bone ("rooted to the ground" was a judge's description at show), very full coverage and bold 'french fry' crimp to the mix. This cria was sold as weanling. She had not had an opportunity to breed again the last couple years to no fault if her own. She was one of our oldest son's girls, but he has moved on and is no longer in the alpaca breeding 'biz' so now she is back into the program. With our multiple champion Black Maelstrom she produced a fantastic roan male that has the look and fiber we are breeding for. This boy is passing through a desire to be grey as he exhibits a number of coin-sized spots on his body including in his blanket. He has since moved to his own farm. After, Navy demonstrated again her desire to produce dark, as her boy by Stradivarius is also a roan. As a nod to his parentage, he is named 'Sea Chanter' the name of the official Navy band. This modern grey / roan male was worthy of his own herd. However, in the interest of fast herd reduction we did include him in a 'pet' male group sold out east. For her 2024 offspring, she made.... another modern rose grey! This one a girl and a robust beauty! We love this girl!
