Color coat tested Ee aa - Magnetar is fabulous and he's creating beautiful offspring!!! Magnetar's first 3 offspring have hit the ground and they are incredible! -- 2 fawn females & a fawn male -- all out of white or light dams and all having rock solid conformation and promising fleece characteristics! Magnetar has started working, and we're so pleased with everything about him. His fleece length is amazing along with all of his other stellar fleece characteristics — fineness and uniformity, just to name a few. We believe he'll be a rockstar in our herd! Magnetar’s color coat test came back from Neogen and his base coat phenotype is black. His color genotype is Ee aa. He can produce black! Chris Works had this to say about him: "So fine, such incredible structure and tertiary bundling, the phenotype that just says wow....And with his family tree, it is no wonder." Magnetar's 17 time Champion sire, KCF Isidoro, received his 6th Spirit of the Industry award at the 2019 PAOBA Fleece Showcase. The Work's were so proud to have him receive this award from Wini Lebrecque with such raving comments about his fineness and structure at the age of nearly 7! And of course what they really appreciate as breeders is Isidoro's ability to past his traits to his offspring, and frequently in living color!! Enter Magnetar! On the other side of Magnetar's ARI is an absolutely stellar dam, Stillmeadow Farms Majesty. This girl is a line bred Matrix Majesty rockstar that was just perfect for an out-cross to Isidoro's fleece style. Here at MMFA, we are certainly enamored of the Matrix Majesty line. We actually have three young males that have so impressed us...and with the purchase of Magnetar, we may still keep them all! Magnetar's show record reflects the fact that he was competing with CCNF Dominion over the vast majority of his show career, a true dominator in that color class. We had the opportunity to compare them side by side and we were super impressed with how very similar they were in fleece attributes.

While we have not done any color genotyping on Diamond, her genes must be firmly locked in at white! We have bred her to fawn and brown, but thus far all she has produced is bright white. We’re so excited to announce that Diamond's 2022 offspring, Lightning, was awarded the Reserve Championship at his first show, the 2023 Carolina Alpaca Parade at 8.3 months old!!! White Diamond was bred to KCF Magnetar for her Spring 2023 cria and she delivered a beige male cria on 6/24/23…We haven't decided who Diamond will be bred to for a Fall 2024 cria. Perhaps back to Ganymede, or to Legend's Rising Sun for a white offspring. Either would be a great choice! Diamond was bred to 11X CC SSKY Kevlar's Christianos for her 2022 cria, and she delivered a bright white male cria on 6/3/22! This guy is amazing! The density, curl and feel of his fleece is incredible! With Thunder Valley as his grandfather, we decided to name him White Lightning. Diamond had a beautiful white female cria out of Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede in Fall 2020. We named her Maia...Unfortunately, she was sold before she was shown. See more in her profile below. Diamond has proven to be a great dam with easy birthing, plenty of milk, and robust show quality crias. She also has a calm and gentle demeanor. She's a gorgeous girl that caught my eye at the 2018 Buckeye Fall Alpaca Fest. Once we opened up her fleece, I was in love! She has a Spin Fineness of 17.0 microns, with lovely handle, brightness and uniformity just like her Judges Choice herdsire. Diamond's sire, 7SAF Thunder Valley, is a multiple champion and Judges Choice recipient. He's a true to type male with perfect conformation and head to toe covered with a bright, dynamic fleece. He has exceptional fineness and uniformity with superior staple length. At age five, he carries a 19 micron fleece, SD of 3.9 and CV of 20.7. The uniformity of crimp from skin to tip is remarkable and carries throughout front to back, side to side. He carries himself upright with pride and commands your attention as you look out into the pasture and yet he is so easy to work with, a very calm and confident male. 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.

Strong and healthy cria arrived the day we returned from vacation weighing in at 19.2 pounds. Glad he waited for us, but his gestation was 367 days long so it was about time!! The only surprise so far is his color--we were hoping for a fawn, but the color genetics of his dam are apparently locked in at white! (No, there’s not a spot on his head. It must be dirt!)

Asterion is currently for sale with his dam. See Diamond’s webpage for more information.
