Herdsires

At Windy Pastures Alpaca Farm we "Strive for Quality and Aim for the Best".

Windy Pastures is committed to the genetic improvement through diversification of bloodlines, which are carefully selected. We are continually striving for improvement in the quality of our Alpacas with regards to fibre, density, colour and confirmation.

In order to accomplish our goals we have been very selective in the choice of our herdsires. They are carefully chosen in relation to the characteristics we are aiming to strengthen, or introduce into our herd.

Windy Pastures owns some of these outstanding sires, while others have been chosen from other quality Alpaca farms for selected breedings.

The following sires have been used at Windy Pastures for select females.

Juliaca is from Don Julio Barrada's herd. The most renowned Alpaca breeder in Peru. He is big, bold and beautiful with  very dense fleece. He consistently throws offspring with soft crimpy fleeces and colour when bred to colour females.

Cromwell, son of Accoyo's El Moustachip, won the1999 International Fleece Competition, judged by Dr. Julio Sumar from Peru. He won Supreme Grand Champion fleece overall. His mother won third in her division. 87 fleeces were entered from the USA, CANADA and AUSTRALIA  in the division - an amazing accomplishment!

His picture says it all!

Cromwells' characteristics of fibre, confirmation, and his ability to throw offspring with colour are evident in his cria.

This herdsire was the Grand Champion Alpaca Male at the Red Deer Alpaca Fest July 1997. He was also the Reserve Champion in May 1997 at the Chinook Challenge. Wild Rose Grand Slam was also the Winner of the Fleece Competition in November 1996 at Northlands. Eleven Pounds shear weight. Proven herdsire.

Grand Slam almost always throws offspring the colour of the female, which makes it easy to breed for colour. His confirmation is perfect and his cria consistently inherit his fibre attributes and confirmation.

Grand Slam is available for a select number of outside breedings.
