Sire: Bluegrass Peruvian Prophecy ARI#
30594791 White PROPHECY'S EPDS ARE IN THE TOP percentages OF ALL MALE ALPACAS IN THE NATION! Colusa Riverside Alpacas is proud to have integrated this boy's genetics into our herd, Bluegrass Peruvian Prophecy from Stargazer Alpacas. Prophecy brings to Colusa Riverside those EPD production genetics for our customers in California and beyond. He is 9 year old and still has an AFD of 23.
We now have several progeny from Prophecy and true to EPD predictions, they all have the expected improvement in fineness and other positive traits this herdsire contributed to each pairing. Prophecy's River Phoenix, his first male progeny, has 4 fiber traits in the AOA 1% Club. Prophecy also has been sustaining his own fiber fineness from year to year. Unlike many farms we do fiber analysis every year, we want studs who maintain their fineness. Be cautious of those farms that only give fiber histograms for their studs when they were very young.
Breeding to Prophecy is a guarantee you will obtain the improvement in your offspring you want, no guesswork, no chances, just predictable fiber improvement based upon reliable statistical genetic inheritance. Out of 14,637 male alpaca tested by ARI, Prophecy's genetic fiber predictability (EPD) was better than 98% of all others tested. With the right pairing of a dam from your ranch, Prophecy could produce a member of the EPD 1% Club of your own.
Prophecy's breeder described his fiber as having great staple length, bundling architecture and uniform character down his thighs and shoulder to his knees. He is extremely fine. Prophecy's pedigree lists foundation Accoyos both top and bottom. Accoyos Sicuani, Vengador, Pucara and Felix contribute generations of density, staple length and uniformity. In addition to staple length, Hemingway is in his lineage and is widely known for passing on fineness that many Accoyos may lack. An important value in EPD determination is the level of accuracy. All of Prophecy's EPDs carry a high degree of accuracy, probably some of the highest accuracy values in the database. Prophecy has his first & second crop of offspring on the ground this year and each show impeccable conformation, health, bites and fiber quality. FOR THE DISCERNING E.P.D.

Dam: Arapaho Whitney Snow_deleted_11/15/2023 9:16:28 PM ARI#
31117128 White Whitney has had 3 offspring and has had effortless births, plenty of milk and healthy cria. What can you say about Whitney except she is the ideal foundation dam. Whit's staple length is her only fault, but she makes up for it density. Her staple length looks short because of this amazingly tight crimp. She is one of top 75 alpacas in AOA database for MC. MC reflects behaviors of crimp.
At age ten, she carries a histogram AFD of 22, and has uniformity in all those fiber traits, especially fineness. She is fine and consistently fine. Whitney is a rare genetically gifted Dam. We have lowered her price because of her age, but, she still has many years of reproduction left.
Whitney has given us herdsire quality offspring. Whitney's father Snowmass Snow Cloud was recently honored for having the top overall EPDs in the nation.
There is Hemingway and Snowmass heritage all around in this dam. Still young with many cria ahead in her future. She would be the perfect candidate for embryo transfers in other dams.
See her current EPDs under the DNA icon on this page.
Description
Pheonix is a gelded male, WITH INDUSTRY DESIREABLE FIBER TRAITS. THIS MALE HAS THE EPDS TO MATCH THE HISTOGRAM. This young man will make any ranch a desired fleece. This is a very reasonable price for this boy
Colusa Riverside Alpacas has been on the cutting edge in the development of a breeding line of alpacas, all of which have superior fiber and superior fiber trait EPDs. We have him on sale to reduce our herd size and his sale price is not reflective of his quality. Don't miss out on this opportunity. Phoenix received the best fiber traits from his parents. Pheonix Grandfather is the renowned EPD stud Accoya America Apocolypse.
Phoenix's fiber weight this year was 10 pounds. His blanket was over 4 pounds. He is a gentleman and has been handled regularly.
Phoenix is our first son of Bluegrass Peruvian Prophecy paired with Arapaho Whitney Snow. Both sire and dam are in MULTIPLE top AOA Expected Progeny Determination (EPD) database. Matching these two has provided Phoenix with histogram AFD values in the teens and EPD values are superior.
