Lord Tennyson has it all, wonderful bloodlines – Bueno, Caligula, El Patron, The Silversmith; incredible fleece – brilliant white, tight, crimpy bundles; good size and conformation; and incredible presence. Tennyson has inherited the great fleece shearing weight of his sire Lord Byron, like his sire Tennyson shears around 10 pounds. In addition to all these wonderful characteristics, Tennyson is a gentle boy with an incredible sense of presence about him. At the 2009 VAOBA Expo Fleece Show, he was awarded the Reserve Color Championship. Earlier that year, he won First in the light class of the Virginia Classic Walking Fleece Fiber Futurity for the second time in a row. In 2008 he won as the youngest in the class at exactly 6 months of age (and went on to win Best in Futurity), and next year as the oldest in the class, just one day shy of 18 months. He continues to do well in regional and national shows. Lord Tennyson’s first crias hit the ground in 2011, and they are incredible. Tennyson’s Milton has lovely fleece, conformation, and that sense of presence that hints at great things to come. Tennyson’s Becket has all that in fawn, and Timbuctoo has incredible fiber and one of the sweetest faces I’ve ever seen. In 2012, we welcomed Lady Clare (and an almost identical beauty who was born off the farm) and Sir Galahad in the spring and Tennyson’s Arthur and White Owl in the fall. They offer additional proof that Tennyson is producing consistently dense, bright and conformationally correct offspring. You can see his stamp in their adorable ‘teddy bear’ faces and fleece. We were very pleased when Tennyson won First in the 2013 VA Classic Get of Sire. At the same show, Sir Galahad repeated Tennyson's success in the Walking Fleece competition, winning First and Champion. Consider the benefits of adding Lord Tennyson’s great genetics to your herd.

One of my favorite alpacas. When my son saw her when she was first born, he said she looked like a sugar cube. After she sat up and we got a good look at her, he decided she reminded him more of a sugar cookie with her white neck and legs and very light fawn blanket. We all agreed that he had found the perfect name (David is responsible for the most creative names on the farm). Our third cria from Powergrid, she definitely shows what he can produce. Sugar Cookie's mother Tequila was one of the initial foundation females of our herd and was one of our best producers. Sugar Cookie is living up to her mother's reputation. She has the same incredibly fine fleece of both parents and a wonderfully sweet personality. She and her sister have formed a great foundation for our herd. We bred Sugar Cookie to our Reserve Color Champion and multiple First Place winning Lord Tennyson, and they have produced two gorgeous male crias. Tennyson's Milton was born in 2011 with dense, silky fleece in tight, light fawn bundles. In 2012, they gave us beautiful, white, Sir Galahad, who won First and Champion at the 2013 VA Classic Walking Fleece Show (just like his sire did in 2008). Sugar Cookie was bred to the fabulous Kubla Khan, and gave us a super future herdsire, a lovely true black named Ninja in 2013, with incredible fiber and Top 5% EPDs. In 2014, we finally got the female we were waiting for, Snickerdoodle Twist. Deciding to make Sugar available for sale has been a hard decision, but she and her sister have made a great impact on our herd and we want to allow her to bring her wonderful characteristics to another herd while she is at her prime breeding age. Sugar Cookie ranks in the top 4-8% of all fiber characteristics related to fineness in the ARI EPD program. Sugar Cookie sells with a breeding and would breed with any of our Champion herdsires for a great cria. Talk with us to decide which would be the right combination for your farm goals.
