Sire: Goliath by Torbio - Deceased ARI#
30427518 Dark Fawn Goliath passed away unexpectedly in 2020 due to a fall injury.
Goliath has his sire's trademark bearded head. Full Peruvian and half Accoyo. He is a rich dark Fawn color. His fleece is extremely dense with excellent lock structure and 22 micron at 3 years old! Goliath has shown well. And now is breeding well. He has sired a half dozen crias and is passing on his fineness and density.
Goliath has a fleece density of 47.75 follicles per square mm. He is still showing us that genetics do count with EPDs in the top 10%!
The awards list is only a partial list of his offspring's success.
Dam: White Knight's Ember ARI#
30387591 Medium Fawn Ember is now a retired female at LHSA. She had her last cria in 2022 LHSA Icy Hot sired by Mr. Slick by Black Ice.
Ember was very fine at 19.1 micron and has passed this onto her cria's over the years. Mr. Slick by Black Ice has given LHSA Icy Hot his rich deep color and density, uniformity, & luster make this juvenile an interesting future Herdsire.
Description
We love this male's head style. LHSA Shade definitely shows off the Suri Breed Standard for head shape. LHSA Shade excelled in the show ring with a Color championship, a reserve Color Champion in Halter, and a Best Luster award in Fleece.
LHSA Shade is a Bay Black genetic powerhouse. His Sire ATC Goliath by Torbio was a reserve champion with density of 47.5, AFD 28.95, S/P 10.6, Sec 28.3, Pri 35.8, EPD Top 10%. LHSA GrandSire was PPeruvian Torbio with EPD top 1%.
LHSA Shade's Dam White Knights Ember is equally impressive with all of her cria's becoming successful alpacas on our farm. Her Sire Crown Royales White Knight was a Champion with EPD Top 5%. Both Dam and Sire have a composite SHIP score average of 4.77 out of 5.0!
LHSA Shade has had limited breeding as he is related to many of our show alpacas in the past. Currently, we have increased his breeding options with promising results.
