In celebration of our 15th year breeding alpacas we are offering introductory breeding prices of $2,500 to SIX (6) Upcoming Superstars of our Herdsire row until the end of the year! To make things sweeter, we are offering a multiple purchase discount! Limited to 4 intro breedings per sire! Bracken is part of this, don't miss out! This well grown, upstanding, true to type male has exceptional fleece qualities and great phenotype. With color in his background, we expect him to produce extreme COLORED and WHITE offspring!
Red Granites Bracken By Val D Lsere exhibits excellent brightness within his fleece and is very fine with good density, well organized crimp that bundles and excellent staple. All these traits you would expect as a son of our very own, Red Granites Val D Lsere. His sire needs little -- to no introduction as he has claimed three AOA National Dark Male Supreme Championships, and was the 2021 Futurity Herdsire of the Year, 2021 Futurity Reserve Light Herdsire of the Year, and 2021, 2022, and 2023 Futurity Dark Herdsire of the Year. In our opinion, he stands as one of the most distinguished colored huacaya males in the world.
Red Granites Bracken's Dam, HDF Peruvian Batista, was one of the finest animals from Heart's Desire Farm, she was rated as one of the best they have produced. Batista had a first year histogram test of 12.2 with a curv of 62.9, second year 14.9, fifth year of 18.8. Her progeny have elite fiber traits and big bones and have all made their way into our foundation herd, which says a lot. She brings lingering fineness to the table.
Bracken himself had a yearling histogram that reads: 16, 3.7, 22.8, 0.4, CURV 55.1 SPIN FINE 15.9 and a fourth year histogram that reads: 19.8, 4.0, 20.4, 1.9, CURV 53.9, SPIN FINE 19.2. His micron went up 3.8 microns and SD went up 0.3. This is a genetic trait from his dam: LINGERING FINENESS & UNIFORMITY.
It was no surprise that Bracken was the primary excitement during his show career winning many championships and was still winning Best Bred & Owned banners as a 2-Year-old breeding male. One of the championships was at the 2021 AOA National Show where he placed behind the light male Supreme Championship winner. He also took 1st place as a yearling at the Futurity 2021. He recently took the 2022 TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular Best Bred & Owned Male Award under Amanda V, and at the 2022 TXOLAN Bluebonnet Stakes side he won his class but lost to our Dark Fawn Val D Lsere son for the Best Bred & Owned Male award judges by Diana T.
Bracken's first cria was welcomed into the world in the Fall of 2023. A gorgeous white male out of a Rembrandt daughter. He shows amazing brightness and staple length for his young age to boot. We look forward to many more Bracken crias in the future! For those wanting to improve phenotype, fineness, and uniformity while adding high-frequency bundles, consider Bracken.
We would consider selling half-interest in Bracken.
