Peaceful Heart´s Lord Tennyson

ARI# 31076296; D.O.B. 9/15/2007; White

Breeding Fee: $2,000

Lord Tennyson has it all, wonderful bloodlines – Bueno, Caligula, El Patron, The Silversmith; incredible fleece – brilliant white, tight, crimpy bundles; great size and conformation; and incredible presence. Tennyson has inherited the heavy fleece shearing weight of his sire Lord Byron; like his sire, Tennyson shears over 10 pounds each year. In addition to all these wonderful characteristics, Tennyson is a gentle alpaca with a regal sense of presence about him.

At the 2009 VAOBA Expo Fleece Show, he was awarded the Reserve Color Championship. Earlier that year, he won First in the light class of the Virginia Classic Walking Fleece Fiber Futurity for the second time in a row. In 2008 he won as the youngest in the class at exactly 6 months of age (and went on to win Best in Futurity), and next year as the oldest in the class, just one day shy of 18 months. He continues to do well in regional and national shows.

Lord Tennyson began his breeding career this year, and his first two crias are spectacular. Tennyson’s Milton and Tennyson´s Becket both have lovely fleece, conformation, and that sense of presence that hints at great things to come. We are anxiously awaiting more Tennyson crias this year.

Consider the benefits of adding Lord Tennyson’s great genetics to your herd. Contact us to schedule a 2011 breeding with this wonderful alpaca.

SOLD

Arch Angel is a Full Peruvian, Snowmass-bred, Bueno grandson. Son of the famous Rose Gray herdsire, Snowmass Casanova and PPPeruvian Halo, Angel is a large boned, impressive alpaca with correct conformation and bite. He has passed on his incredible staple length and fine fiber to his offspring. All his cria are large, heavy boned and beautifully balanced with straight legs and backs. His 2006 cria out of AHR Francesca (also a new addition to the farm) was the Reserve Color Champion at the 2006 VAOBA Expo. We repeated this breeding and are thrilled with the results. Peaceful Heart´s Gabriel has the same lovely color, dense fleece and great conformation of his sire.

FG Powergrid

ARI# 134529; D.O.B. 9/21/2004; White

Breeding Fee: $2,000

Powergrid has fabulous white fiber. He has placed in every show we have entered him, and won top honors out of 93 alpacas in the 2007 Southern Select Handcrafters Spin-Off. His fineness is not a surprise as he is a grandson of the famously fine Peruvian Hemingway. From his dam’s side, he also brings the bloodlines of PPPervian Chaparral and Peruvian King.

Powergrid has done particularly well in spin-offs. Judges have commented about his fleece “dense and lofty”, “spun perfectly”, “lovely spinning!” and called the finished yarn “light and lively” and “lovely, bouncy, soft and energetic”. In addition to his fine and dense fiber, he has very correct conformation and excellent coverage. Added to all this is his regal air.

Powergrid has sired 8 crias so far, and they are all lovely. His 2008 male cria, Peaceful Heart´s Asa Lee has won numerous 1st place ribbons, and in 2011 won Highest Scoring Alpaca in the Brown Color Group at both MAPACA and the AOBA Nationals. His 2009 cria, Peaceful Heart´s Solar Flare also won 1st place in the 2011 MAPACA Spin-off in his class of 9 White Alpacas.

FG Gryffyn

ARI# 30466715; D.O.B. 9/12/2005; Medium Silver Gray

SOLD

Gryffyn is a beautiful two toned Silver Gray alpaca with incredible fleece. He has wonderful staple length and fleece you just want to sink into.

We have been thrilled with the fineness he has been passing on to his crias. His 2010 cria Hyppogryff had an AFD of 16.4 at 10 months of age. So far in breeding him to black, we have gotten two gray and one black cria and they all are lovely. His beautiful black cria Liberte sold as soon as he was weaned. The two grays are especially striking alpacas in their markings and both have quickly become farm favorites.

Call to schedule a breeding with this wonderful gray herdsire today and add his fine, gray genes to your herd.

Peaceful Heart´s Regal Copper

Peaceful Heart's Regal Copper

ARI# 32057638; D.O.B. 10/4/2010; Medium Brown

Part of our next generation

Sire: My Peruvian Fire-N-Ice; ARI# 827637; Medium Silver Gray

Dam: FG Lystra; ARI# 814489; Medium Fawn

Regal Copper is beautiful. He’s was very large at birth (25 pounds), and is continuing to grow fast. At just 8 months, he weighed over 100 pounds. He comes from a family of large and award winning alpacas on his dam’s side. His half-brothers Lord Tennyson and Asa Lee have won numerous First Place Ribbons and Championships. His sire is My Peruvian Fire-N-Ice, a full Peruvian, silver grey, Color Champion. We expect Regal to continue the family tradition of show wins, and will be entering him in shows this fall.

He has incredible genetics from both his dam and sire. Regal combines the lines of Caligula and El Patron and The Silversmith through his dam and Silvio on his sire’s side. He has a lovely dense fleece with beautiful crimp and soft hand. His conformation and presence is regal, just like his name. We are keeping Regal Copper to add a lovely brown herdsire to our farm beginning in 2013.

Peaceful Heart´s Hyppogryff

Peaceful Heart's Hyppogryff

ARI# 31423502; D.O.B. 7/15/2010; Medium Silver Gray

Part of our next generation

Sire: FG Gryffyn; ARI# 30466715; Medium Silver Gray

Dam: Peaceful Heart´s Sharyn; ARI# 31076289; True Black

Hyppogryff is a true beauty. He´s the first you notice in the pasture and has an incredibly fine fleece that you can´t stop touching (AFD 16.4 at 10 months). His blanket is a very consistent medium silver gray, with white and dark gray on the rest of his body and face which combine to create a beautiful alpaca. He has correct conformation and a wonderfully sweet personality. All around a great future herdsire, and part of Peaceful Heart Alpacas’ 2011 showstring.

J Dubs 40 of Peaceful Heart

ARI# 32057621; D.O.B. 8/17/2010; Light Fawn

Part of our Next Generation

Sire: Snowmass Royal Thunder; ARI# 8031083; Dark Fawn

Dam: Peaceful Heart´s Bonnie Alice; ARI# 31076296; Light Brown

J Dubs, or Dubbie, is a beauty who keeps getting better each day. He has a sweet face and personality and incredibly dense, soft fleece. His dam, Bonnie Alice, is one of our most dense girls on the farm. We bred her to Royal Fawn son, Royal Thunder, who has sheared up to 15 pounds in a year.

From the looks of Dubbie, the denseness we hoped to pass on with this breeding was achieved. He sheared 5 pounds at just 9 months of age. We expect him to develop into a phenomenal herdsire.

========================================

Tennyson’s Becket of Peaceful Heart

Tennyson's Becket of Peaceful Heart

ARI# 32057669; D.O.B. 6/23/2011; Medium Fawn

Part of our next generation

Sire: Peaceful Heart’s Lord Tennyson; ARI# 31076296; White

Dam: Peaceful Heart’s Henrietta Ruth; ARI# 31076357; Dark Brown

Tennyson’s Becket hit the ground apparently knowing that he is one impressive little boy. He walks around the pasture with a sense that he knows he is a special alpaca. The product of a breeding between our Reserve Color Champion Lord Tennyson and our dark beauty Henrietta Ruth, Becket was born with beautiful, dense fleece in an incredibly consistent color from toes to nose. He is a curious and very gentle boy who likes to stay at his mama’s side (that easily accessible milk supply may be why he is growing so fast). The most impressive feature displayed in Becket, though, is not his perfect conformation, beautiful head, or regal manner, it is his fleece. Becket is showing the incredible density of his sire, with deeply crimped bundles, and the fabulous fineness of both his parents, with a fleece you just want to sink your hands in as you give this boy a hug.

Look for Becket in the showring beginning next year, and in Peaceful Heart Alpaca’s breeding program beginning in 2014.
