BENCHMARK Alpacas at the Tin Roof Ranch

BENCHMARK'S Peruvian Shimmer   

Dark Silver Grey, 1102697, Full Peruvian

Shimmer is the result of crossing 5Peruvian Francesca x Peruvian Silver Marquis. This cross has locked a great deal of color into her genetics and she has proven that she will pass that on. Shimmer has the most brilliant luster I have seen on a gray - or on most Suri alpacas. She is silky fine, has long staples and independent locks.

Her first cria by Sundance Kid is a beautiful Maroon named Bolt and her second by Bo Jangles is a True Black Female named J.J..

Shimmer was bred on September 20, 2009 to The Sundance Kid which will bring in both the Accoyo and Condor lines. Our Sundance kids have really been impressive and the crossing and bringing Silver Marquis lines back to Condor has been a successful cross in the industry.

She is a easy birther and attentive Dam, however her milk supply has been low for her first two cria. Because of that, her price has been reduced.

Her cria have good vigor and neither needed a plasma transfer, but during their first

Luster -- Luster --- Luster! Plus Bo has locks density and is a macho boy.

A Black Mac son is rare enough -- but when you add that he is half Accoyo and Black -- that makes him even more rare.

You know the quality of his Sire, but Mac is only half of this equation. Bo's Dam, Felicity, is also a show stopping girl and has won at both AOBA Nationals and AAA Futurity.

Take a look at Felicity's other cria -- two of them are full siblings to Bo. All of Felicity's offspring have been Champion or Blue ribbon winners at major shows.

Bo Jangles is owned in partnership with Tim and Kayla Hengesbach of Double H Alpacas.
