"Tica" was our first female alpaca, purchased at auction from Alpacas of America as a maiden. We were an Ohio-based farm and wanted to introduce west coast genetics to the Ohio suri gene pool. She remained in Washington until her pregnancy by 4Peruvian Meteor 6050 was well established. On her trip across country, we were offered $65,000.00 for her, but in the old days, we believed she would bring us greater fortune on our farm; so home she came. Her head shot is used in our logo and she is now the Grand Dam of our herd. As you can see in her photos, Tica - even in 2003 - had a very dense, lustrous, and consistent fleece. Her blanket's first shearing weighed over 8 pounds! Her fleece production remains consistently above average over the years and, while microns may have increase a bit, her handle remains cool to the touch and slick due to her consistency and close proximity of primary and secondary micron counts. She has passed this on to her offspring, with improvements also coming from each of the full Peruvian Champions we have bred her to. She typically throws the color of the herdsire. Two of her daughters and one of her sons are currently listed for sale: HVF Echo of the Sun, HVF Tiny Dancer, and HVF Quervo Gold, respectively. All have been shown and are blue-ribbon winners. Tica is an excellent dam, birthing on schedule with no complications. Even at her current age, Tica cushes faithfully, waiting for us to open the gate and let a herdsire come to call. Since we are not breeding any longer, we hope to find her a caring home who would appreciate a half Accoyo dam with an excellent track record who will sell at an attractive price to the right farm. Like all our females, Tica is currently open, not because of any limitation on her part, but because our travel schedules and limited vet support do not support a good cria watch or aftercare. She is a proven breeder. Purchase price does NOT include a pregnancy or breeding from Humm V Farm and Buyers should take that into consideration during their buying process. We do offer reduced pricing ($500) and live birth guarantees on breedings with any available Humm V Farm herdsires if the Buyer is interested, or you may choose another farm of your choice for a future breeding. Live birth guarantees are only honored by us for breedings with a Humm V Farm herdsire. We remain committed to support for new owners and to the success of Tica's pregnancy. We'll be there for you and for Tica, and trust she will be too. p.s. Tica has a deep friendship with her daughter HVF Tiny Dancer - one of the best females we have bred. Tiny Dancer is 5/8 Accoyo with Baron, Ramilo, and CV Peruvian Moses in her bloodline. She is a blue ribbon winner and is also for sale. If you are interested in purchasing both, our Sweetheart pricing deals will apply.
