Lystra has provided a strong foundation for our herd. She is a beautiful, large alpaca with a lovely fawn fleece. A Caligula granddaughter through her sire El Patron, and from The Silversmith line through her dam, Lystra has the genetics to produce beautiful crias. She has been doing just that. Her crias are all incredible. Her 2006 cria, Sunrise Surprise “Sunny” is now producing her own incredible crias (four great boys so far). In 2007, Lystra produced a fabulous male, Lord Tennyson, who has won numerous awards, including Reserve Color Champion and now Get of Sire, and saw his first fabulous crias born in 2011. In 2008, we were pleased to welcome Asa Lee to our herd. The fineness and hand of his fleece is something that just must be felt. It has already won him multiple First Place ribbons and the Highest Scoring Brown Huacaya Alpaca at the 2011 AOBA Nationals and MAPACA Spin-Offs. In September 2009 we greeted beautiful Pirate’s Luck. Yet another cria with incredible fleece, 16.8 microns at 32 months of age. Lystra’s 2010 cria with multiple award-winning My Peruvian Fire ‘n Ice is another gorgeous boy, Regal Copper. His fleece is incredibly dense with tight bundles of shiny copper fleece, and he has the same size and strong frame of his siblings and is now starting his herdsire career at another farm (RC's first cria was just born, a beautiful girl). In 2011 and 2012, we repeated the breeding to our award-winning herdsire Powergrid that produced Asa Lee in 2008. Their 2011 cria, Lightning Bolt is now a junior herdsire at a local alpaca farm. Their 2012 cria, Elise will join her mother as a foundation of our herd. In 2013, Lystra did it again with a fabulous male cria out of FWD Kubla Khan. Augustine is a beautiful boy with dense, beautiful fleece.
