When WCA Dusty Miller was born, his fiber appeared to be the color of the plant Dusty Miller. However, as his fiber dried out we realized that he was white, but we just liked the name. We have used Dusty for PR and he has done a wonderful job. Dusty was in the Copley, Ohio, Heritage Day Parade in August, 2006. Dusty did something that I had never seen an alpaca do before on a parade route. As he was lead down the road, he would stop right in front of where a child was standing and would allow them to touch him. It was really slow going with him as he was constantly stopping. Dusty is also a very laid back alpaca. He shares a pen with 1 other male at this time and it is always a peaceful pen. Dusty would be an asset to any farm, especially as a PR alpaca or on a fiber farm.

We plan to use Arni in our breeding program as his micron counts have been great. In 2007 his micron count was 20.4 and in 2008 it was 20.3. Arni received a blue ribbon in the 2009 Southern Select Alpaca Show Handcrafters' Spin Off. This is an AOBA certified show. The spinner of Arni's fiber wrote that his fiber was soft and crimpy with a fabulous hand, tightly crinkled, very soft - nice bounce - pleasant to skin. This male has great conformation and a good bite. Arnie has definitely inherited the temperatment of his sire, WCA Ohio Buckeye and is very laid back. Arnie has inherited his fleece from his grand dam, OBS Snow White. All of the crias from this line have had excellent fleece. Arni has an interesting family tree as his grand sire on his sire's side is 5Peruvian Prestige Picchu 9065, Huacaya-R800682-Peru MF and The Silversmith HST G452, Huacaya-R65537-Chile LSG W, on his dam's family tree.

Here is a chance to buy a beautiful gelded alpaca that is being brokered by Wolf Creek Alpacas. This alpaca is from Curtis Farm who is going out of the alpaca business. Harley's dam is blue eyed and Harley inherited his dam's blue eyes. Harley will not be used for breeding and was gelded. If you are knowledgeable about the blue eye genetics, you will know that the fiber from a blue eyed alpaca is super soft and has a wonderful handle to it. Harley also has very dense fiber. Harley is a very gentle alpaca and would be a real asset for a fiber artist or someone who would like to add a gelded male to their herd. The owner of Harley had his first year's fiber, combined with others, made into yarn and in 2006, combined with other fiber, made into rovings. You can go to Wolf Creek Alpacas' "On-line Store" and check out the rovings. Harley can be bought separately, but is also included in a "Six Pack" package of alpacas: 5 females and Harley. Also, Harley has been included in a package along with WCA Dusty Miller, who is also gelded and owned by Wolf Creek Alpaca. Samples of yarn are available Micron Count 2005: FD 20.9; SD 5.1; CV 24.3; CF 96.3; Curve 26.5 (21) 2006: FD 24.5; SD 4.9; CV 20.0; CF 88.7; Curve 28.3 (22) 2007: FD 27.2; SD 4.7; CV 17.3; %>30u 22.2 Shearing Weight 2006: 7# 4 oz |

Champ was one of our foundation alpacas when we started out in the alpaca business in 1997. We were hoping to use him as a herdsire, but he did not cut the mustard in regard to his micron count, but his conformation, bite, and density was great. He also was one of our greatest escape artists on our farm,and thought he was the top herdsire. Champ was gelded in 2007 and he is now a very relaxed alpaca who spends time with two upcoming herdsires, Day Star's Peruvian Bulldozer and and WCA Arnica Montana, and there is peace in this pen. Champ no longer tries to jump fences. Champ also leads very well and he does not spit, and we have used him as a PR alpaca in our yearly Copley Heritage Day Parade. There is a funny incident between our LGD and Champ. Our dog would spend a lot of time in Champ's pen as they were buddies. We knew that the dog would sometimes mouth his fiber, but we had never caught the dog in the act. You can notice that on the picture of Champ. One day I caught the dog mouthing the fiber and I really chewed the dog out and he knew he was in trouble. When Champ realized I was on his side he started spitting at the dog, he just needed backup. The mouthing of fiber finally stopped. We will be honest, as this was a hard decision to put Champ up for sale as we would have like to have him live out his life on our farm. However, we have reached the point where we simply need more room for upcoming crias. Champ is an easy keeper,a very sweet alpaca and we are hoping that a fiber artist who may make rugs is out there who would be interested in Champ's fiber, or someone who would like to add another gelded alpaca to their present herd, or for a 4-H Project as he is easy to lead. We do put value on our alpacas, but we want to find someone who has a heart for a senior alpacas. 2007 Micron Count: Mean Fiber Diameter: 309.9 microns Standard Deviation: 7.6 microns Coefficient of Variation: 19.1% Fibers Greater Tjam 30 microns: 93.5% |
