Trying to downsize!\r\n\r\nAdd $250 and you may choose any of our boys that you would like to breed her to. (A great deal! Dirk's breeding fee is usually $1000 and he'd make a super choice.) IF YOU WANT, you may leave her here on our farm until she births. Your cost will be $30/month once she is confirmed pregnant. \r\n\r\nChoose her next breeding to our own finely-fleeced Dirk or McTavish. Check out the their yearly EPD \r\nhistograms results. Excellent! These boys have lingering fineness which is an heritable trait. It seems a sure bet they will upgrade Hazelnut's cria. Notice Hazel's daughter Rhiannon has a finer micron than Hazelnut, the result of a finer stud.\r\n\r\nShe's a sturdy and petite little paca that you will find quite easy to work with. She has a pleasant personality--even when pregnant! She amuses me. After throwing regular ole hay in the bucket, she will stand at the gate watching to see if I go to the \"special pile\"—alfalfa. If I grab a handful and start for her gate, she'll leap straight up in the air—just once! You can almost hear her say \"YIPPEE! Treats!\"\r\n\r\nIn the reproduction department: Hazelnut is a proven dam and did a super job with her first cria, Rhiannon, sired by another amazing stud, Premier's RUBIO (MRG). Rhiannon has Caligula, black/grey Zorro, and Snowmass Black Legend and Bueno genetics.\r\n\r\nHazelnut has black points on her eyes, ears, and muzzle from her black dam. She has a stocky, boxy, compact frame (like her sire Duncan) and is on the petite side at 125 lbs. She's got an adorable face, nice wedge-shaped head, and huge expressive eyes. \r\n\r\nReproductive and 14-day live birth guarantees, free board for 1 month, free delivery within 100 miles.\r\n\r\nYou might also consider our RENT-A-WOMB plan with her. You choose one of the many excellent studs available locally to our farm and pay the stud fee. Or use one of our own excellent stud choices and take 25% off their regular breeding fee. Our girl stays here on the farm and you pay her \"womb rental\" fee ($50/mo) until she delivers. You get to use our alpaca to produce the cria of your choice without the expense of buying an adult female or tending her for 11-12 months. If you decide later, before the birth, that you'd like to buy her, you can apply the rental fees toward her purchase price. Interested? Give us a call and we'll tell you the details.\r\n\r\n<--description-->","AnimalName":"Stirling Ridge HAZELNUT","is_ArrivalDate":null,"Price":0.0,"is_ForSale":false,"AnimalCatchPhrase":" Will be BRED to Bradford soon!"},"ChampWins":null,"is_myFive":null,"is_PartialInterest":false,"UltraSound":null,"is_Male":null,"Migrate":null,"FarmID":869,"ImageUrl_mobile":null,"videos":[],"extendedBindings":{"PrimaryPhoto":null,"SecondryPhotos":null,"EditLink":null,"BredIcon":null,"ShowBredIcon":false,"DueDate":null,"SireDescription":null,"SireMore":null,"SireColor":null,"SireReg":null,"SireName":null,"DamDescription":null,"DamName":null,"DamReg":null,"DamColor":null,"DamMore":null,"ServiceSireDescription":null,"ServiceSireMore":null,"ServiceSireColor":null,"ServiceSireReg":null,"ServiceSireName":null,"RegNumber":null,"DOB":null,"StudFee":null,"StudFeeLabel":null,"ShowPricing":false,"StudFeeDescription":null,"Price":null,"PriceLabel":null,"PriceDescription":null,"TermsLink":null,"PurchaseTerms":null,"Offsprings":[],"Breed":null,"Email":null,"ScientificData":null,"awards":null,"penHtml":null,"ExternalLinks":null,"nEpdId":0,"sCert":null,"sHist":null,"FarmLink":null,"Age":null,"sThumb160":null,"sThumb320":null,"farmName":null,"auctionLink":null,"sEditLink":null,"sHHRecords":null,"sHHFiberRecords":null},"ItemID":null,"ListOffspring":false,"is_planned":false,"is_deceased":false,"userLeftCol_ViewPageModel":null,"BreadCrumb":null,"show_animal_categories":true,"show_logo":true,"show_product_categories":false,"show_featured_items":true},{"Alpaca_Accoyo":0,"AlpacaID":17451,"AnimalCatchPhrase":"15 yrs old: 22 micron 95% CF!","AnimalDescription":"Kenzie was bred to Bradford and she produced a beautiful dark fawn girl, Rosheen (little Rose) with dark points in Sept 2021.

We like Diomedes so well, we bought Bradford, a Diomedes son, with a 17 micron fleece at 10 years, so we were hoping for a beautiful cria, and with color—and got it!\r\n\r\n2021 EPD RESULTS (at 16 years):\r\nRanked 68% for AFD, value —.028 meaning her cria should have a finer fleece than breed average\r\nRanked 28% SDAFD, value —.207, her cria should have a more uniform fleece than breed average \r\nRanked 52% for Spin Fineness, value —.229, her cria should have a lower SF than breed average\r\n Top 23% for %F>30, value —3.985, her cria should have less micron >30 than breed average \r\n Top 15% for Mean Curvature, value 2.664, her cria should have more crimp than breed average\r\nRanked 35% for %Medullation, value —1.037, her cria should have less medullated fiber than breed average \r\nRanked 92% for Mean Staple Length, value -3.018, her cria likely to have a shorter staple length\r\n Top 15% for Fleece Weight, value +.4901, her cria should have a FW heavier than breed average\r\nBirth Weight, value -.168, her cria will likely have a lower birth weight\r\n\r\nKenzie's look and fiber quality are what we like: shorter muzzle, triangular head, great histogram and fiber qualities, nice conformation. And she has a VERY calm temperament and is easy to work with, even pregnant. She'll pick up her feet and let you look in her mouth, easily. She is a beautiful animal and about as sweet an alpaca as you'll ever find. Her kids learn that nice behavior from her and they are as well behaved as mama is.\r\n\r\nFirst cria, Dirk, was an easy delivery; second cria McTavish delivered in 8 minutes; same with baby #3, Rosie! She's a very good mama and has plenty of milk. We love this girl because she's a beauty herself and has produced some of our best cria.\r\n\r\nHer initial histogram as a cria was AFD 14.5 with a curve factor of 35.5. Her histogram has been holding steady with fineness and consistency even at 13 years, a GREAT quality she has passed on to her two stellar sons.\r\n\r\nKenzie is out of our best dam, Kupcake, and my assessment is that the daughter has surpassed the mother. With Kenzie's sire, Onyx de Mico (bay black) and his Michaelangelo/Guellermo genetics, she is one of our top-of-the-line females.\r\n\r\n","AnimalDOB":"2005-06-02T00:00:00","AnimalGender":"Open (Female)","AnimalID":3514609,"AnimalName":"Stirling Ridge KENZIE","Awards":"[2nd] 2006 PNAA Fiber Odyssey Spin Off:\r\n2nd place at 97/100 points, one point behind 1st place, with 14 white entries\r\n\r\n[2nd] 2007 NW Alpaca Showcase:\r\nHalter, 2nd place out of 5 entries.
