FH Nicholas is wholly owned by Linda Cormier of LSC Alpacas and is offered here for sale by Close-Knit...Get to know all you can about this handsome male, so you can Make an Offer Monday! Nicholas is blessed with some obvious qualities one can see right off the bat. He offers up his strong, heavy bone and excellent form. He has a correct bite and is nicely endowed. Nicholas is a compact, well-proportioned macho and he is quite stunning with his straight lines. "Nicholas possesses a luxurious, dense, fleece in a rich, dark brown color that covers abundantly to his toes," exclaims Linda. Nicholas is of the legendary Hemingway line, via the incredible Snowmass Millenium on his paternal side. On his dam's side of the pedigree tree, we see that the great Jackpot Red and his sire, Wily Coyote, pass down their grey genetics to Nicholas. This is obvious on the base of his neck, where he sports a few silver grey spots. As for personality, this fella is a gentleman that does not start trouble with the other boys. If you are looking for easy-to-show alpacas, Nicholas simply stops walking with feet perfectly aligned. He is a natural. I asked Linda what she could share with us about Nicholas "the stud," and she said, "As a breeder, Nicholas is a sweet talker and likes nuzzles and kisses with the girls. We are finding that he also enjoys a good neck scratching, and a thorough hosing down on hot days. He actually turns completely around and lifts his tail to cool all important parts. Nicholas is a gentle breeder who loves to sweet talk and nuzzle. Your ladies will love a date with this macho!" His first cria? Due Summer 2011!

Description

Picabo (pronounced "Peek a boo"...it's true!) is owned by Linda Cormier of LSC Alpacas and she's offered via The Secret Meadow of Close-Knit Alpacas. Picabo is one of those ideal foundation dams, known to be "an easy keeper." Foundation dams are not often made available for sale, as breeders like to hold onto them FOREVER. Circumstances (including a new baby on the way for Linda) dictate that Picabo find a new herd to serve as "lead dam"...or for sure a position at the top of the order. "Picabo is extremely easy to handle," reveals Linda. Picabo's qualities as a production dam? Linda states, "Behavior testing always works (Picabo communicates very clearly)," and she births easily, always has plenty of milk, is a great mom, and an easy breeder. She recently delivered her 2011 cria (7/24/11)...a very dark - black or dark silver grey - with a wee bit of white on him around his face and head area. Of course, he sells with his dam and at her side in this offering. "She is a bit of a loner," says Linda, "but I believe she thinks she is 'above' the rest. She has a 'more noble than thou' attitude." Picabo is a special lady and makes a most wonderful foundation cornerstone. Linda tells me Picabo has been "Truly a blessing, as she produces progeny all worthy of winning ribbons. Picabo always puts forth her best and incorporates the best attributes of the service sire to create most wonderful offspring." Every one of her shown progeny have taken 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place ribbons! Picabo has fine, rich colored fleece that exhibits high frequency but very low amplitude crimp. Picabo's sire is a rare black and white appaloosa, and he passed a few of his black spots into her blanket. These spots have turned grey over the last few years. "Since Picabo does have silver grey in her ancestry I believe they are coming down from there," offers Linda. Picabo's dam is a beige & fawn appaloosa and ALSO the dam of Hilltops Chelsea, whom some might remember is another awesome producer of ribbon-winning progeny. Linda suggests, "Try breeding to a fancy gray and see if you can pull the appaloosa out of her!" Picabo is a dream! Now you can make her yours! www.The-Secret-Meadow.com
