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 20 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 16x Champion & JC male, 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

Dreamy is a hard one to let go. She's calm and easy going—a pleasure to have on the farm. She’ll sell at a special price as a companion to any other female purchased from our herd. Check out her 2025 cria for one. Dreamy has had mastitis several times. As a result, she’s being removed from our breeding program, but she’s great with visitors, and she’ll make a great pet or agritourism ambassador. It would be awesome if Dreamy could go in a package with her 2025 cria, Kamaria, and preferably at least one other female, if you don’t already own alpacas. Please contact us for a special package price with her dam, or special pricing for 3 or more alpacas. NOTE for OPENHERD AUCTION SALES: Auction reserve is set higher than price, as a fully executed contract is needed to complete the sale. Please give us a call or send an email if you're interested in any of our Openherd auction offers. 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.

Description

Well, this little girl has a lot to live up to -- all three of her siblings are Champions! So we have great expectations...Eclipse is the first female from the pairing of "Dreamy" and Ganymede, and we're so excited to add her to our foundation. Eclipse is also the largest Huacaya female cria we've ever had born on the farm -- 22.2 pounds! Congrats to her dam, Stillmeadow Farm Bella's Dream! Eclipse is bright, curious and friendly. She used to let me walk right up to her and pick her up so visitors could feel her fleece. Well, she reached a point where that it was no longer cool and I had to stop. It took a while for her to rebound. I don’t pick her up anymore and now she’s happy to come up to visitors again to take treats from their hands. Eclipse was also the cover girl for our August 2022 rural electric cooperative magazine!
