Keltie delivered a beautiful black female cria out of Man in the Moon’s Rigel on 9/23/23! We purchased this gorgeous girl at the 2014 Double O Good Auction. She was a head turner then, and continues to be one of the most "showy" females in our herd. Keltie has been bred to 6X Champion Man in the Moon's Rigel for her Fall 2023 cria -- this pairing should produce a phenomenal offspring, as our favorite offspring thus far was when Keltie was crossed with a Matrix Majesty line herdsire. Rigel comes from lines with Matrix Majesty behind him and he's out of CCNF Leviathan, who has been an incredibly prepotent male. Rigel's first cria hit the ground in December and she’s spectacular!!! See Rigel’s webpage. Keltie is strong and solidly built. She has a very pleasing body style with gorgeous conformation, excellent size, great head, and heavy bone -- and full coverage fleece from her head down to her toes. She consistently has one of the heaviest cutting fleeces each year. We've come to love her quirky and inquisitive nature. She has proven to be a very good mom, with easy birthing and plenty of milk. We purchased this gorgeous girl at the 2014 Double O Good Auction. She was a head turner then, and continues to be one of the most "showy" females in our herd. Keltie's offspring thus far have been competitive in the show ring. We especially love Keltie's 2017 male offspring, Deimos (out of TGF Freestyle -- a Matrix Majesty line), who is a gorgeous dark fawn that garnered 1st Place and Best Bred & Owned as a yearling (19 months old) at the 2018 MAPACA show. He's been in more than one halter class where the judge indicated that every alpaca that placed had excellent fineness, character, and density, and that it was an extremely tough decision on placement. This is what CCNF had to say about Rigel’s sire, CCNF Leviathan: Sired by our beloved beige Champion Herdsire, CCNF Elixir (whom we co own with our friends at A Paca Fun Farm), and out of one of our top Snowmass Matrix Majesty daughter, CCNF Capuchin, Leviathan is everything we could have hoped for when we decided in 2014 to start crossing his sire with some of the best colored females in our breeding program. The question coming into last year’s birthing season though, was whether Elixir could sire the same elite quality fleeces for us across the color spectrum that he had already proven he could in our lights and whites? The answer was an unequivocal yes, and the just-completed spring show circuit really validated that beyond any shadow of a doubt. Note: MMFA offers its best pricing on packages of three or more alpacas. Let us know what you're looking for and we can help you find the right package within your budget.

Ganymede is the 2017 AOA Nat’l Supreme Champion and he's making Champions!! 15X consecutive Banners including 4X Judge's Choice!...You've just got to see his fleece -- it's the same ALL over! Championships of his offspring are adding up! With relatively few offspring, we're seeing a lot of very positive results! Color genotype: ee Aa. Can produce black! Bred to EE aa would almost guarantee it! His daughter, CNTRL Ganymede's Hannah B, has 22 Championships and 4 Judges Choice awards competing as a fawn female -AND she is the 2021/22 #5 female in the Nation!! "This male shows extremely strong fiber traits that should be passed to his offspring...Bred to top notch females, you should expect many champions." -- Comments from Dr. Norm Evans' biopsy report A Banner for every show he attended in the 2016/2017 show season! Ganymede has an advanced elite fleece, indeed, and perfect conformation! Judges called it early on...and he achieved top honors at the 2017 AOA National Show as the Supreme Champion Light Huacaya Male, including the White Invited Male Color Championship...Ganymede has an amazing fleece with an unbelievable structure and density. He exhibits a tight little zipper crimp with extreme uniformity, matchstick bundling, brightness and fineness across his fleece...the character lasting well down into his legs and belly. SKIN BIOPSY was performed at 30 months of age by Dr. Norm Evans in December 2017. Of note, his 15x scan shows large fiber clusters uniform in shape and placement within his connective tissue. This uniformity trait likely came from his dam. His scan shows only 4 guard type hairs from the 6800+ fibers in his 10 MM tissue punch. His true density is 86.75 follicles per SQ MM of skin. He shows a level 2 of 4 gland structure, with an average S/P ratio of 14.1 to 1, and only 11% of his secondary fibers are medullated which is rare since the average is near 60%. His 250x scan shows the presence of many round secondary fibers, and one hundred typical secondary fibers averaged 17.8 microns — at 30 months old!! According to Dr. Evans 30 months is the recommended age for skin biopsies and gives the most accurate values. Full report available upon request. While Ganymede’s breeding fee is firm, we can offer attractive discounts on any solely owned herdsire in a multiple breeding package. We also have females available that have already been bred to Ganymede or can be purchased with a future breeding to him. Please give us a call to discuss. Ganymede is Co-Owned with Rancho Inca Alpacas located in Navasota TX

Thank you, Jodie Vanselow! We hope you get another modern rose gray! Mira's rose gray female cria out of GANYMEDE has arrived (4/6/20) -- and, she's already sold! So, Mira has been rebred to Ganymede. Obviously, if you purchase her, she'll need to hang out here until her new cria is weaned.

Mira's Spring 2020 cria, Proxi, is a beauty with solid bone just like her dam. She has a beautiful medium modern rose grey fleece, and we bet it'll be quite nice with excellent coverage and very good fineness. Her frame will likely be outstanding, and she is growing like a weed.

Mira has solid bone, excellent fleece coverage, brightness, great density, and a very good staple length. She's also proven to be an attentive mom, and an easy birther with plenty of milk. And she has a couple of very well known gray's in her pedigree.

Mira has an interesting and quirky personality (she's actually quite fun and inquisitive), and she gets along well with her herd, but when it comes to people, she can be a little difficult - especially if you want to touch her! Despite this, she's one of those girls that everyone who comes to the farm is taken with her big eyes and personality. She'll come right up to check you out...but, when you reciprocate by putting your hand out, she responds by saying: "Please...don't touch me!"

Mira's sire, Patagonia's Lennox, is a well known and sought after multi-Color Champion herdsire, and with 274 registered offspring to date (2/2017), he has produced more champions than any other sire at Patagonia Estates. His sire is one of the direct Chilean imports, Danko. Mira's dam brings the genetics of Snowmass Nova, 5Peruvian Chaccu, Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, Peruvian Bueno, and PPeruvian Caligula.

Note: MMFA has refined its focus to specializing in fawn, light and white alpacas, so now is your chance to purchase any of our alpacas with darker color genetics at a very reasonable price. Ask us about a package price.
