Sire:
FG Powergrid
| ARI# 134529
| White
|
Powergrid has fabulous white fiber. He has placed in every show we have entered him, and won top honors out of 93 alpacas in the 2007 Southern Select Handcrafters Spin-Off. His fineness is not a surprise as he is a grandson of the famously fine Peruvian Hemingway. From his dam’s side, he also brings the bloodlines of PPPeruvian Chaparral and Peruvian King.
In addition to his fine and dense fiber, he has very correct conformation and excellent coverage. Added to all this is his regal air.
Powergrid has done particularly well in spin-offs, and continues to score high as he ages. Judges have commented about his fleece “dense and lofty”, “spun perfectly”, “lovely spinning!” and called the finished yarn “light and lively” and “lovely, bouncy, soft and energetic”.
In 2013, Powergrid was ranked number in the ARI EPD program for Standard Deviation of Fiber Diameter. He has been passing on his incredible consistency of fineness to his offspring. Powergrid sired 13 crias, and they are all lovely. His 2008 male cria, Peaceful Heart´s Asa Lee won numerous 1st place ribbons, and in 2011 won Highest Scoring Alpaca in the Brown Color Group at both MAPACA and the AOBA Nationals. His 2009 cria, Peaceful Heart´s Solar Flare also won 1st place in the 2011 MAPACA Spin-off in his class of 9 White Alpacas.
We lost Powergrid in late 2013, but we are blessed to have a lot of his fabulous genetics in our herd. You can see the quality of his offspring here and at our farm.
Dam:
Rancho Chico's Marquessa
| ARI# 31109161
| White
|
Marquessa has an impressive 7/8 Peruvian background that includes Caligula, Jedi Accoyo, AccoyoGrandTriumph, and Royal Fawn. She has great fiber and a shy temperament, and is a wonderful mother. She has milk to spare and is willing to share. We have caught almost all the crias this year regularly supplementing their nursing with a little from Marquessa. She ranks in the top 15% for SD of AFD and staple length in the ARI EPD program.
She was bred to our fabulous herdsire Powergrid for a fall 2013 cria. Their cria Marcus is spectacular. Great conformation, beautiful fawn fleece, and so much energy.
Her 2014 male cria Hercules is out of our two time Champion Rivanna Peruvian Maximus (ARI#31201391), a dense and crimpy true black. Hercules has a great, light fawn fleece and friendly personality.
Marquessa is currently open and sells with a breeding to any of our Champion herdsires. We would recommend breeding Marquesa with FWD Amaro Khan, but you may choose from any of our Champion herdsires for her next cria.
Originally $2,000. Now reduced to $1,500 to make room in our pastures.
