We are honored and thrilled to co -own Zoltar of Halo with Halo Ranch. Zoltar is the product of two award winning alpacas: GLR Amayah (Judge's Choice 2014 Futurity) and the two-time Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Cinders. His genetics include GLR Picasso, Rockstar's Paloma, Shavano, MacGyver and Jackpot. At six months old, Zoltar won 4 championships in shows across the country, both halter and fleece. 2018 Suri Netwrok Fleece Show- Cheryl Gehly- "Such fine secondaries in this lustrous fleece". We specifically selected Zoltar to add to our dark program because of his stellar genetics and his fleece characteristics. He is very fine with a high degree of density. Zoltar was biopsied in the spring of 2021 at 41 months of age. His 15x scan shows fiber clusters irregular in size and shape but uniform in placement within his connective tissue. His density measures 55 follicles SQ MM and his S/P ratio from 25 typical fiber cluster averaged 11.1 to 1. Zoltar's scans shows level 3 of 4 gland presence. His 250x scan shows less then 20% of secondary fibers show a degree of medullation which is rather uncommon is a true black. 100 typical secondary fibers averaged 21.5 microns while 50 typical primary fibers averaged 32.3 microns for an average S/P spread of 10.8. His AFD measures 22.46 microns. Zoltar’s offspring are here, and they are amazing!!

This lovely female is a best kept secret. Blue's Rumor comes from top black genetics on her sire side-Bluegrass Peruvian Rhythm & Blues and top genetics on her dam side- USA Accoyo Ruby and Dinero. These genetics combined to create a beautiful female with top SHIP scores and top density stats!! Rumor was SHIP evaluated by senior judge Cheryl Gehly and received scores of 5 of 5 in color uniformity (rare for a fawn); and scores of 4 out of 5 in luster, fineness, uniformity of micron, uniformity of lock structure, hand and type; and a score of 3.5 out of 5 for density. She received the top scores of 5 in all the conformation traits. Outstanding SHIP scores in all the measured traits! Rumor was biopsied in 2021 as a 4 year old. Her density measures 58.5 follicles SQMM and her S/P ratio is 9.7 to 1. Her secondary fibers averaged 17.4 microns while her primary fibers averaged 22.3 microns for an average S/P variation of only 4.9 microns. Her biopsy AFD is 17.89 microns. Dr. Norm Evans comment on her biopsy was simply: "WOW"!! Rumor is stunningly fine, dense and uniform. She is retaining her fineness and uniformity as she ages. At eight years old, she is still 21 micron. Definitely Suri, Simply Stunning! Rumor gave birth to her first offspring, Twist and Shout, a beautiful female loaded with gorgeous bay black fleece, in June 2020. This girl was sired by multi-champion Sir Oliver Twist, and she is everything we hoped for! Rumor's Zoltar cria, Rhiannon, was born on July 10, 2022. She is a lovely dark brown female with a very fine and uniform fleece at 17.7 micron and 4.1 SD. Rumor’s 2023 cria sired by Iced Kola, Big Timber's Storm is a stunning bay black male with a gorgeous fleece. Storm has a very fine juvie fleece at 16 microns with an advanced Suri lock structure. His fleece won awards at major fleece shows, including Best Lock. We chose to breed Rumor to Big Timber's Quebracho for a 2024 cria. In August 2024, she had a stunning dark fawn female, Flame, with out of this world luster!
