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.

Zia is a truly international girl with genetic lines from Bolivia, Chile, Canada and New Zealand. She has lovely eyes with black “eye-liner” showing off the incredible amount of color (including many true blacks) in her background. Her fleece is maintaining its fineness with a great consistency. She ranked in the top 6% of the ARI Expected Progeny Difference program for Standard Deviation of Average Fiber Diameter (a measure of consistency). Her 2013 daughter ranks in the top 1%. Zia is a protective mother, and provided her 2013 female cria Ziva with lots of milk for fast growth (and an impressive 2402 IgG). Her 2014 female cria Zima, out of true black champion Peruvian Maximus, also grew fast and has a gorgeous dark brown, dense and crimpy fleece and a beautiful head. Zia is currently open, and sells with a breeding to any of Peaceful Heart Alpacas' Champion Herdsires.
