1st Place MAPACA Small Breeders!
Sugar Hollow's Leonidus' Layla
Huacaya, Female, Proven | Medium Brown
ARI# 35131007, D.O.B. 5/24/2016,
Sire: Snowmass King Leonidus ARI#
31139625 White What can we say? Banners, Blue ribbons, amazing bloodlines (have you looked at his ARI?), Champion offspring. Why are you NOT breeding to this amazing specimen of everything you can ask for in a herdsire?
Leonidus' Layla took a 2nd place in the dark brown juvenile halter show and a 1st place in the Small Breeders Show at MAPACA 2017, and a 1st place in the 2017 PAOBA Breeders Showcase. She's the pretty brown one with the blue ribbon -- she is lovely, and if you choose to breed to Leo, yours can be too!
Leo consistently stamps his progeny with his phenotype, density, and fineness. He is maintaining phenomenal density well into his breeding years! Leo's previous owner did not do a histogram, but we can tell you his offspring are winning ribbons of their own, and all who have been tested have fiber under 20 microns. If you'd like histograms from some of his crias, just ask and we'll happily forward them to you. Check out the pictures of Leo crias at the bottom of the photo column. None prettier!
And Leo's biopsy (May, 2014) reports are in! Density: 58.6 mm; Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 9.8:1; In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 24.8 microns SD 3.2 microns range 19.9 to 31.5 microns; secondary fiber diameter: 19.8 microns SD 2.8 microns range 14.2 to 19.8 microns. Everything we thought we knew about this male is TRUE!
Discount breedings are available for champion females, multiple breedings, and breedings to Snowmass Quechua descendants. Give us a call!
You know you want to breed to him -- what are you waiting for?
2018 EPDs are available by clicking on the EPD link above right. Besides being top 1% for %M, he's top 5% for AFD and %F>30, and top 10% for SDAFD, SF (spin fineness), and MC (mean curvature). He's still amazing and holding his own after all these years! We are so proud!!
Dam: Sugar Hollow's Sweet Caroline ARI#
32736595 Light Brown Sweet Caroline took a blue ribbon in the MAPACA 2016 Spin-off! Judge commented on her nice color, soft fleece and loft. And you should see the yarn we just picked up. Gorgeous! Her daughter Layla won a blue ribbon in the 2017 PAOBA Breeders Showcase in Halter and also in the 2017 MAPACA Small Breeders Jubilee Halter so we know she's passing on her quality genetics.
Caroline is the friendliest alpaca on the farm -- she loves to have her neck scratched and will stand quietly to let us pet her.
Description
We know Layla is beautiful -- and at the 2017 MAPACA Jubilee the judges confirmed it! She took a 2nd place in the MAPACA Halter Show. The judge said he really like her long staple, high degree of fineness with a soft handle, and a high degree of density. He really liked her frame and capacity for her age -- "She's got it all there."
THEN she went to the Small Breeders Show, where the judge said he really loved her balance of conformation, width across her chest and good bone structure. Regarding her fleece he noted consistency of fineness, soft handle and absence of guard hair.
We are so proud! Her dad, Snowmass King Leonidus does it again!!
