Champion Producer! Houdini cria due now!

Fortunato's Ali-Accoyo Raina

You may or may not have heard that her 2018 male offspring garnered 3 championships in 3 shows --- and subsequently sold to Tierra Prometida & Rancho Inca! Raina is an amazing foundation female and she's maintaining a respectable AFD of 23.1 as measured in her 2018 histogram at 7 years old. Raina sheared 16.3# of fleece in 2018!!! That's after having multiple robust crias for us--she has staple length and density that she's passing to her offspring.

Raina's been bred to Alpaca Palace's Houdini for her 2019 cria (Ultrasound Confirmed 5/13/2019). We can't wait to see the results, but we're pretty sure it will be something very special! Houdini continues to produce champions, and Raina produces very nice crias with outstanding fleece length and density...we just wish she'd produce a female for us!

Raina's a full peruvian -- 1/2 Accoyo, 1/2 Alianza -- medium fawn daughter of Heather's Acre Accoyo Sirius. She has abundant, bright fleece, with excellent density and coverage right down to her toes. She has stellar conformation, with great bone and an awesome head! In addition, she's a great mom and she has an incredibly gentle disposition. Her lineage includes Hemingway, Vengador, Predictor, Odyssey and others.

Her 2018 MF cria, Titan, out of Sunset Hills Zagato, received a RC banner in halter, with the Judge calling him exquisite, and 1st place in Walking Fleece at the 2019 CAC Show. He's turning into a really nice young male! At his first show, VAOBA, one of the judges walked up to his pen and inquired if he was as nice on the inside as he appeared to be on the outside!...well, he's pretty darn nice and getting nicer all the time! Zagato offspring have been winning in the show ring, and they are highly sought after. He is now closed to outside breedings, so we feel fortunate to have gotten this little guy! Looking at Titan this early, it appears he'll follow strongly in his herdsire's footsteps, and he definitely carries the amazing fleece length and density of his dam. See Titan's web page for more info.

Her service sire, Alpaca Palace's Houdini, is a 9 time Champion, with multiple1st Place Get of Sire awards. His offspring are cookie cutter consistent. He passes on his extreme brightness, fineness, high frequency character, consistency throughout the fleece and his Extreme DENSITY and BRIGHTNESS. Houdini's skin biopsy results, prepared by C. Norman Evans, DVM, at 4.5 years of age: shows true density is 82.93 follicles SQ MM of skin while 25 fiber clusters show an average S/P of 10.2 to 1. He shows level 3 of 4 glands which should relate to fiber brightness and appears to be a genetic trait passed from the male to their offspring.

Note: Special pricing available for multiple alpaca purchases.
