Description
WHOLE HERD DISPERSAL. FOR SALE ONLY AS WE ARE RETIRING FROM BREEDING ALPACA. OTHER ALPACA AVAILABLE. PLEASE CONTACT FOR DETAILS, OR REFER TO OTHER LISTINGS AS THEY APPEAR. OPEN TO OFFERS.
WB Brown Sugar is one of my best brown huacaya female alpaca, out of one of my best, most reliable and consistent, solid brown breeding female’s. This is a very, very, extremely reluctant sale, and an opportunity not to be missed!
Brown Sugar is an exceptional female, with a delightful nature, and a stunning fleece! She has a particularly desirable phenotype, with a strikingly pretty, true to type head, and nice short muzzle. Brown Sugar is well grown, very consistent in colour, and has great fleece length with fantastic coverage. The shearer even commented on the extra effort required to remove her fleece, as it is literally everywhere! She grows a long, well defined staple with a high frequency crimp style. Her fleece is uniform in all aspects (as was commented upon recently by the Judge at the NSS), ultra fine, bright and soft handling. What I particularly like is the lack of visible primary fibres. If you zoom into her photograph, you can see she only has a very small number evident, confined to a very small area at the fore of her chest. None are visible under her tummy, or along her neck (front or back). There is no obvious transition line, and there is little difference in micron between the secondary and primary fibres. She carries her impressive uniform fleece, with its excellent attributes, right into her extremities.
Brown Sugar has highly decorated ancestors stretching right back on both sides of her pedigree. The names of these paternal and maternal lines are well regarded. Brown Sugar’s dam, Valley Alpacas Kirsh (a daughter of Supreme Champion Valley Alpacas The Diplomat), won Champion Brown fleece at the Eastern region fleece show with her Intermediate fleece in 2018. She has produced several Championship winning offspring, with both the same and different sires. Without exception, all of her progeny have been of show quality, even if they have not all been shown.
Brown Sugar’s sire is Willowbrook Golden Legacy, a Snowmass Sizlin Hot son, who we retained to carry on in his father’s footsteps. Sadly, he has not had the work he deserves, as we have so much of Sizlin Hot’s bloodline within our herd, and I didn’t want to part with him! Sizlin Hot requires no introduction, as he has produced numerous Champion winning offspring year after year (refer to website for list of Sizlin Hot’s progeny show successes). Golden Legacy’s dam was a three times Champion Black female.
Brown Sugar has only been shown twice, and her fleece on only two occasions, but she has performed exceptionally well. She was 1st and Champion at the Somerset County Fleece Show judged by Mary Jo Smith, scoring 19 points out of 20 for fineness, 5 out of 5 for colour uniformity, 8.25 out of 10 for lack of guard hair, with an overall total of 79.5. Brown Sugar was also awarded a final score of 80.25 points for her fleece at the National Champion of Champions Fleece Show in 2024 by Judge Barbara Hetherington, scoring 8 out of 10 for uniformity of micron, and 5 out of 5 for uniformity of length. She was placed just 0.5 of a point behind the Reserve Champion, after unfortunately having had 0.5 of a point deducted from her overall score due to a small amount of contamination from vegetation/dirt/seeds etc. in her fleece. She wasn’t cria shorn, which probably explains this! Brown Sugar was 1st Intermediate Brown Female at the recent NSS against a tough line-up.
Brown Sugar’s half sister, WB Molly Mischief, won 1st and Champion brown fleece, with a score of 83 at the Heart of England fleece Show in 2020. She was triumphant at the time in beating off some very stiff, and still highly regarded, competition! Following this success, Molly’s fleece then went on to win Reserve Brown Champion of Champions Fleece at the B.A.S. National in 2021. She scored 82 points, and missed the top spot by just 0.5 of a point!
Brown Sugar’s half brother Illustrious, scored 82 points with his Junior fleece at the Heart of England in 2022, and was placed first in his class with a final score of 79.75 with his Intermediate fleece at the same show in 2023. He has grown into a stunning macho, and we are looking forward to welcoming his first offspring this year.
Brown Sugar is a very special female. She is currently empty, and ready to be served. We did not mate her last year, as although well grown, we wanted to wait until the spring so that she would deliver her cria at a more desirable time of the year.
She is halter trained and has a very calm and sweet nature.
