Suris Sold
We have always recorded our sold Suris on our Alpacanation site, but thought it would be a good idea to show everyone the quality of Suris we've sold on this site, too!
Buttercup Prince Pearl
Name: Toni's Princess Buttercup - SOLD
ARI: 1105780
Color: Multi - dark fawn and white
DOB: 06/13/2004
Sire: Kiyu Peruvian Accoyo Dancer
Dam: Toni's Peruvian Kiva
Fiber Stats: Not tested
Offspring:
Salt River's Prince of Belmonte
White Knight's Pearl
Salt River's Teacup
Description: Buttercup comes with great genetics, including Renzo and Juan, as well as CPeruvian Liviana, who is the dam to Accoyo Diamond River! Besides her striking presence and fun pattern, she is conformationally correct and has a strong suri phenotype. We are keeping her 2009 offspring, White Knight's Pearl, as the genetics are great, and we just sold a half interest in her 2010 offspring, Cafe au Lait - he is dynamite! We have sold Buttercup to Alpacas of Greater Tennessee, but look for Cafe au Lait in the upcoming show season!
Cecilia Salt River's Earl Edition Salt River's Pretty Penny
Name: Buggati's Peruvian Cecilia - SOLD!
ARI: 1301663
Color: Maroon (registered medium brown)
DOB: 06/15/2005
Sire: Buggati of PVA
Dam: Bouldermont's Ebony
Fiber Stats:
Density - 25; S/P - 10.3:1; Glands 1 of 4; Medullation - 80%; Micron spread - 6.0; 2009; MFD - 28; CV - 22.2
Offspring:
Salt River's Early Edition
Salt River's Pretty Penny
Salt River's Memphis Cool
Description: We purchased Cecilia to take our breeding program to a new level and she has not disappointed! We have had three awesome crias out of Cecilia, we've sold the first - Salt River's Early Edition - we will keep the second - Pretty Penny - and while the third cria - Memphis Cool - is being sold as a fiber boy, he is still quite nice. Cecilia is a rare mahogany color and has wonderful conformation. Her fleece was still 19 microns after her second shearing and she locked up on her third fleece. Her fiber has a wonderfully silky feeling and her genetics are top of the line - her sire is Buggati of PVA, one of the most outstanding males by Mahogony Prince, and her dam is Bouldermont's Ebony, a third generation true black out of Sergeant Major Jax!
While not dense, her high S/P ratio and low micron spread gives her fiber a wonderfully soft feeling, even at 28 microns. Cecilia did carry a micron average of 19 through 3 yrs of age, so we know if bred to a male with that trait, the offspring will offer amazing fiber! We bred Cecilia to LCA Boots in the Fall of 2010 as we were so impressed with his first offspring and thought he could bring lock definition, luster, and density to Cecilia's offspring.
What we do with the fiber: Cecilia's fiber falls into the Grade 4 category, so we will be spinning it into yarn for the weaving community to use for an outer garment project.
Name: Salt River's Awesome Boy - SOLD!
ARI: Not registered
Color: White
DOB: 12/3/2009
Sire: SBS Solstice
Dam: HCLA Trixie
Description: "Awbey" is a wonderful boy with extremely even locking from shoulder to hip. He did not get the luster that we had hoped for, so we are placing him for sale as a fiber male. If you are thinking of getting into the alpaca business, this is a great guy to start with to see what the "alpaca lifestyle" is all about! If you are a fiber person, we expect Awbey to produce great fiber for you for years to come. Both his sire and dam have retained low average micron counts (24 and 22, respectively) well into adulthood, and we think this is a critical element of what a fiber arts program will need.
Name: Salt River's Memphis Cool - SOLD!
ARI: Not registerd
Color: Medium Fawn
DOB: 7/19/2010
Sire: SHS Elvarez (aka "Elvis")
Dam: Buggati's Peruvian Cecilia
Description: Memphis is a darling boy - great Suri head, wonderful conformation, amazing luster, and a soft, silky handle that will be great to spin. He did not get the lock structure or density needed to become a herdsire, so we are placing him in the category of fiber male. He will, however, be an awesome fiber producer - his sire has great uniformity of micron, and his dam has a good S/P ratio and low S/P micron spread.
Name: Hannah Gale - Sold!
ARI: 848621
Color: Medium Brown
DOB: 06/30/2003
Sire: DDF Peruvian MacGyver
Dam: NWA, Ltd. Helen
Fiber Stats: Not tested
Offspring:
2007 - Lillianna Mac of Suri Park
2008 - Salt River's Miley Ray
2009 - Salt River's Lola
2010 - Salt River's Brownie
Description: Hannah's offspring have been absolutely lovely - high luster, extremely fine, and silky to the touch. The only reason we have Hannah in the 'B' category is because she does have a huacaya two generations back. Because of this, we would not recommend Hannah to a new buyer. However, if you are a seasoned alpaca breeder, don't let that huacaya stand in your way - her offspring have been just beautiful. Her second offspring Miley Ray, is a fleece champion, and is honestly our best female produced on the farm (check out Miley's skin biopsy results!) so is in our foundation herd for the time being.
Hannah's fourth cria, a medium brown girl (4th girl in a row!) out of our herdsire, SBS Solstice, just took a halter championship at GMAF and the Reserve Championship in the SN All Suri Fleece Show in 2011! She'll be going into our foundation lineup as well! So don't miss out on this absolute steal of a deal! At the new owner's request, Hannah has been re-bred to SBS Solstice, so look out for another wonderful offspring!
What we do with the fiber: Hannah's fiber will be processed into roving as the primaries are a bit wide relative to her fine secondaries.
Name: Salt River's Ginny - Sold!
ARI: Pending
Color: Bay Black
DOB: 05/26/2011
Description: Ginny is a big girl, conformationally correct, with a beautiful, "showy" head. Her fiber is silky and lustrous and we think she is going to make a great breeding female! Ginny got "snatched" up before she was even weaned and the new owner already has her first breeding lined up when she is ready! Look for these offspring in the future.
Name: Matillda
ARI: 820158
Color: Light Brown
DOB: 07/14/2000
Fiber Stats: Density - 19.5; S/P - 10:1; Glands 4 out of 4; Medullation - 100%; Micron spread - 11.1
Description: Tilly has produced a series of champion offspring with amazing fiber quality, so don't let these fiber stats fool you. And as a result, we've got her in the 'A' category. Tilly scored 4 out of 4 for luster on the skin biopsy results, and has an S/P ratio of 10:1. Tilly is a well conformed girl who scored quite well when conformationally classed. As we got a girl out of Tilly in Fall 2010, we are putting Tilly on the sales list - she is being bred to Accoyo Bronzen for a Fall 2012 delivery! Based on the champions that Tilly has produced, as well as her current breeding, we have placed Tilly in the 'A' category.
Price: $8,000
What we do with the fiber: Tilly's fiber is a bit coarse, but we are actually going to spin it into yarn for weaving. It will be available on our fiber page in the Fall.
Name: Columbia River's Snowberry
ARI: 172891
Color: White
DOB: 08/13/96
Description: Snowberry has produced multiple champion offspring. Each of her offspring have had a soft, silky handle with Mean Fiber Diameter (MFD) of less than 20 microns. Snowberry produces offspring with extremely independent locks, great uniformity across her blanket, and high uster. While Snowberry's primary fibers have widened with age, she still maintains secondary fibers with a MFD of 22. Retention of fine fiber is a critical part of our breeding program, and Snowberry fits right in with this profile. This girl will remain in our foundation herd until her "retirement".
Snowberry had a beautiful girl out of SBS Solstice in August of 2010, and given the time of year she had that cria, we decided to hold Snowberry open until Spring of 2011. We are going to breed her now to full accoyo Montoyo for a 2012 offspring. Given Snowberry's age, this will be her last breeding.
What we do with the fiber: Given her wide primaries and age, we will use her fiber for rug production.
