Liberator & Revolution are Black Suri Champions

Two of Saber’s black offspring traveled to the TxOLAN Alpaca Show and did very well this last weekend. We are proud of the accomplishments of our black breeding program and pleased about the results.

Stone Brook’s Liberator by Saber took 1st in his Yearling Black Class and then went on to win the title of Black Male Color Champion at the show in Fort Worth, Texas. Liberator is a solid male who will be begin settling females this year after the show season is completed.

Stone Brook Pucara Revolution is also black and she is the daughter of Saber as well. Revolution started her show career at the TxOLAN Alpaca Show. She is only 7 months old and won her Juvenile class before competing in the Championship Cass. She was awarded Black Reserve Color Champion and we are proud of the results from her first showing.

If you would like more information about Saber, the sire of Liberator and Revolution please contact us Josh at 231.409.2292. Saber was awarded the Dark Reserve Herdsire of the Year Award last year at the 2010 Futurity.

Alpacas Are…Worth Considering in Mother Earth News

We received our February/March Mother Earth News magazine today in the mail. As I was working through the articles about kitchen gardens and thinking about how wonderful my alpaca fertilized garden did last year I came across AOBA’s page bringing attention to alpacas being a “green” machine on page 33. It was nice to see, and I can honestly say that the “end” product, manure, is fantastic for gardening. We had wonderful success this last year when we tilled up an area where we had been spreading alpaca beans and grew a garden. Alpacas certainly are well worth considering when you are looking for a great fertilizing machine that is also easy on the land.

If you are interested in growing your own fleece producing fertilizer, give us a call at 231-409-2292 (Josh) or 231-409-4878 (Tonya). We would be happy to assist you!
