Ganymede will be at AMAF in NY again this Summer! BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT VA TOO FAR TO GO? Contact us to discuss getting a breeding in VA, NY, or TX. Time is running out to purchase a breeding to Ganymede, the 2017 AOA Nat’l Supreme Champion. Color genotype: ee Aa. Can produce black! He's making Champions & Judges Choice offspring!! Extraordinary Offspring: 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!! AMAF Islamadora, has 14 Championships, including the 2024 AOA National Championship, and received her first Judges Choice award as a yearling in Fall of 2023! StrongShepherd Juno, is a 15X Champion, and CCNF (arguably the top breeding farm in the country) purchased half-interest in this incredible male to bring different genetics into their herd! "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 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. 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

"Sissy" is an Alpaca Palace Houdini granddaughter from her dam's side that also carries deep Snowmass genetics on the sire side. Her 2023 histogram, at almost 4 year’s old and following two full pregnancies, are still excellent, and her EPD’s are also. Sissy's been bred to Alpaca Palace Legend’s Rising Sun for her Spring 2024 cria. “Sunny” has the softest fleece I may have ever sunk my hands into — the soft staples break into little match stick bundles with beautiful crimp from skin to tip. Sunny's fleece is amazing at almost 6 years old! His 2023 histogram puts his fleece stats at 18.5 micron with only 0.4 % over 30 microns and an SD of 3.8! Check him out on his webpage through the link above...he's producing excellent progeny! Of only a few offspring (6 so far), one just garnered his second Championship as a 2-year old at the 2024 CAC Show - Alpaca Palace Superman. Sissy's dam, Alpaca Palace Houdini's Sumthn Else, was one of Alpaca Palace's most treasured dams, with extreme uniformity and fineness. At 5 years old, her fleece stats rivaled many crias at AFD: 18.6, SD: 3.8, CV: 20.5, %>30u: 0.9, and at almost 9 years old, it's only 1.5 micron higher! We're grateful to now have "Elsie" in the Man in the Moon foundation herd. Sissy's sire, Snowmass Divine Heart, is an unbelievable male straight out of Divine Inspiration and the Snowmass Lilly lines! Snowmass Quechua out of Accoyo Elite anchors Inspirations sire side, while the Snowmass Snowbells line anchors the dams side of Inspiration. Snowmass Lillystar has 4P Legacy and Don Julio in her pedigree. Divine Heart earned 14 blues and 7 Championships for his resume and his show career was stellar. His density is phenomenal at 76 which put him in the top 3% of males at the time of his skin biopsy!
