Description
Wild Card has such a beautiful rich brown fleece, which has to be felt to really be appreciated. It is so soft handling, very uniform in micron and colour throughout, fine and exceptionally dense. This level of density in a dark coloured male isn't seen every day.
Wild Card is a compact male who is conformationally correct with a very attractive head type. He is very well mannered and easy to handle, and loved his time in the show ring, showing off his sashes with pride. His first outing was to the Northern Alpaca Show where he was awarded Brown Male Champion and overall Brown Colour Champion in a large competitive colour section. His second outing saw him awarded 1st Intermediate Brown Male and Reserve Brown Champion in a close ran race for the Championship. We purchased him from Beck Brow alpacas in January 2021 and he has impressed us by working so early successfully covering our females at a young age who are now due in 2023. Wildcard has been kept in house for 2021 and will also only be available through the BAS auction and very select females for 2023. We entered his fleece into two further shows were he consistently achieved over 80 points despite being a little tired from previous shows.
Wild Card has a real depth of high-quality genetics behind him and these have all played their part in the creation of such an exceptional brown fleece. Gilt Edge Samurai of Beck Brow has undoubtedly played a large part in the level of density, with Bozedown Achilles providing the fineness and very soft handle and add in Waradene St Patrick, who has proven himself a crucial ingredient in so many top-performing coloured alpacas, you can see why we rate Wild Card so highly
Wild Card has a great deal to offer as a herd sire in any herd looking to add high performing coloured genetics into their herd. This male has an exceptional level of density with a background that suggests prepotency for this trait, having parents who are both exhibiting above-average levels of density
Wildcard has been kept in house only for 2022 with only a few select females sold to one breeder mated to him for 2023.
We intend to keep in house again with the exception of the National Stud auction and only a very few select females for 2023.
