Genotype Ee a2a3 Non-Grey BLACKJACK - a game of luck. And we won! This magnificent male at the tender age of 8 months, with no cria shearing, entered the showring and did extremely well (see awards section). Sired by Black Dynamo from the Snowmass Midnight Diamante line, combined with his dam from the Jeremiah/Jericho lineage, he brings the best of the best to the table. Keep an eye on this young male to see what the future may bring. Spin off Nationals he placed 1st and "highest point" receiving a score of 97 out of 100. Nationals Spin Off you send in 3 oz of fiber and spinners actually spin it into yarn. Blackjack's fiber is really nice. His fleece has all the attributes we are looking for fine, nice handle, uniformity, etc. He is very dense and has a luscious handle. He checks all the boxes for conformity. Congratulations to Dean and Gina Ross of Heather Glen Alpacas on their purchase of Blackjack of Cabin View. Blackjack is off to new adventures in AZ and will make a stellar herdsire. Can't wait to see what he produces. We are so excited about welcoming Blackjack to our herdsires here at Heather Glen Alpacas. Love his uniformity, fineness, density, color, crimp/staple & perfect conformation. We are so excited to bred him to our beautiful dams & look forward to the amazing crias he will bring us. Proud to announce he took first place at the 2024 National Show in his class. Awarded: 4-Championships 9-First Placements 6-Second Placements 1-Advanced Fleece Awards 1-Best Uniformity Award Blackjack bred four females all spit off after the first breeding. His first crias are due fall 2025.

DDF Peruvian Rico Suave is an excellent example of long lasting fineness. Age 7 Rico's micron is at 17.1, SD 3.3, CV 19.3, %>30 0.4% and age 8, Rico still has a micron of 17.1, SD 3.5, CV 20.5, %>30 0.5, and now at age 10 (2010 testing), Rico's micron is 16.6, SD 3.3, CV 19.9, %>30.05%...WOW! In 2008 we did a skin biopsy on Rico and the results are fantastic, "I found no fibers above 30 microns, which is unheard of," states Dr. Norm Evans, "This male is the whole package based on my stats. He appears to have every desirable genetic trait that this industry is looking for. As the whole package, Rico Suave tests in the top 1% of near 1800 huacayas that I have tested." This is outstanding! With his pedigree consisting of 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite and Peruvian Hemingway.
