ARI# 35230793 D.O.B. 6/8/2015 Huacaya, Male, Proven White Full Peruvian

He's still 18 microns and his fleece is still beautiful...and he’s passing down the uniformity as demonstrated by Championships of his offspring! Ganymede is standing stud in Virginia from mid-May thru 1st week of December. His offspring thus far have been AMAZING! We also have quite a few females available that have been bred to GANYMEDE for 2021 crias! "This male shows extremely strong fiber traits that should be passed to his offspring...Bred to top notch females, you should expe...

ARI# 32691771 D.O.B. 11/1/2013 Huacaya, Female, Proven Light Fawn 7/8 Peruvian, 1/8 Chilean

5th shearing: Grade 1 Ultra Fine Royal Baby fleece with a comfort factor close to 100%! And this beautiful female's given us four stellar offspring, -- all show string quality: two are banner winners; one achieved 1st place at AOA National show and will show more; and the last one was just born on 6/1/20. WP Elite Delilah will stay in our foundation herd...but there's always a price, right? She's one of the best out there, and she's maintaining incredible fleece stats with a Spin Fineness of ...

So, this auction price probably won’t last for long! Orion's strong points are uniformity of micron across the blanket, fine micron and his extremely nice staple length. If you need these in your herd, Orion is your boy! Weak points: He's currently small for his age at just under 100 pounds as of January 16, 2021. We're hopeful he'll pick up the pace, and it appears that he might just be doing so after sitting between 80 & 90 pounds for quite a while. His thyroid has been tested and it's normal. His anatomy is well developed—lol!

Orion has a bright and well organized fleece, with uniformity of micron and character across his blanket. And...OH, the STAPLE LENGTH is AMAZING!!! Note that he had been cria tipped, so the histogram and fleece sample shown only account for 9 months of growth! As Ganymede did, we expect Orion to get better with age. And, if his parents are any indication, we'd expect him to remain fine and consistent for many years to come. Both of his parents are maintaining AFD's in the 18's at 5 years old!

Orion received 1st place halter & 2nd place Walking Fleece at just over 6 months old; 2nd place at 9 months old, where the judge commented how close 1st and 2nd place males were in the class. And 1st place under Judge Jude Anderson, who stated he had the finest fleece in the class with excellent organization. At 18 months, he took another 1st place in halter under Judge Wade Gease, and he took a 2nd under Judge Amanda Vandenbosh in tight competition where both judges indicated that the top three males were very close!

Orion is out of our stud female, WP Elite Delilah (who is out of none other than The Elite Maximus), and his amazing multiple Champion and 4X Judges Choice sire, Man in the Moon's Peruvian GANYMEDE (who is also the 2017 AOA National Supreme Champion). LOVE, LOVE, L O V E this young male! and you should take a serious look at him. Orion should definitely go to a herd that will use him as a herdsire...
