[AlpacaTalk] Super Stud Raffle news

Hi there everyone,
What a great response we have had to our first ever pre-conference ARF Super Stud Raffle ticket sales!
I wanted to remind those of you who have been waiting for the right time, that the time is now! We are almost out of pre-sale tickets!

Without our generous donors we wouldn't be able to offer this incredible opportunity, and I would like to take the time again to thank Ernie & Barbara Kellogg, Nancy Johanson, Rick & Connie Bodeker, and Heather & Bob Newman for their gracious donation of breedings to these outstanding males.

A little background on our featured studs:

The Stunning Black Chip- Not just another handsome face, Black Chip, a gorgeous suri, is the picture of perfection. A male�s worth is measured by his progeny. Black Chip has sired numerous champions and show ring winners in a wide array of colors. Crias sired by Black Chip have been nothing short of spectacular. His offspring have consistently displayed excellent lock, luster, and coverage. They are very well conformed, and have good balance and presence, with solid bone. Black Chip has produced 100% suri crias in all colors, including maroon, black, gray, and fawn. No matter what color, there has been only one type of quality � exceptional! Black Chip even comes with a suri cria guarantee! Rick and Connie Bodeker of Bluff Breeze Farm Alpacas Inc. and Rob and Heather Newman of Three Crosses Alpaca Ranch have graciously donated a breeding to Black Chip as part of our Super Stud Raffle.
Both ranches are on the �same page� when it comes to use of exceptional males in our suri breeding programs. We specialize in quality suri breeding stock and unsurpassed customer service. Our promise is to see that your female will be treated the same as we treat our own females. After all, once she�s bred, she�s family. BBFAI is conveniently located in the majestic hills of Minnesota, just minutes south of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Rick and Connie Bodeker own and manage a herd of 60 alpacas. Rob and Heather Newman, owners of 3 Crosses Alpaca Ranch, LLC, are located in Walnut Shade, Missouri just minutes north of Branson. They currently own and manage a herd of 24 suris. Black Chip can be found enjoying the mild mountain air of the Ozark Mountains in Missouri during the colder winter months, while strutting his stuff all summer long in the beautiful Minnesota countryside. Don't miss out on your chance to benefit from some of the greatest suri genetics available today!

And the wonderful Invincible-
This huacaya�s name is synonymous with quality and excellence. Invincible has been dubbed the �Elite Alpaca� herd sire and for good reason. Invincible�s world-class genetics make him a top-of-the-line choice. His sire, Snowmass Legacy Gold, is an undefeated medium fawn male who has also double-championed at the same challenging All American Futurity two years in a row � 1999 and 2000, along with a host of other championships at other national shows. Invincible holds the world record for the highest selling herd sire, and Ernie and Barbara Kellogg of Double �O� Good Alpacas and Nancy Johanson of Brookhollow Farms have shown their continuing support of ARF by donating a breeding to Invincible this year for our Super Stud Raffle. Barbara and Ernie Kellogg of Double �O� Good Alpacas, and Nancy Johanson of Brookhollow Farm, are delighted to offer his services for this very worthy fundraiser for the Alpaca Research Foundation. Snowmass Invincible fits his name, as he beat out the entire U.S. in a growing competitive group of ultimate white alpaca males to take First Place in his class at the All American Futurity of Sires in 2003. As if that weren�t enough, he also won overall White Male Champion. Invincible has already raised nearly $15,000 for alpaca programs in previous herd sire services auctions! Here�s your opportunity to add his world class genetics to your herd! Both Double �O� Good Alpacas and Brookhollow Farm are located only minutes from major metropolitan areas. When you experience the quiet tranquility of Falkland Farm, home of Double �O� Good Alpacas, and walk among the lush green, manicured pastures filled with alpacas grazing contentedly, it�s hard to believe that the bustle of downtown Washington, D.C. is only 45 minutes away. Likewise, the beauty and serenity of Brookhollow�s lovely location in the gently rolling hills of Boonton Township, New Jersey is less than an hour�s drive from New York City. Both farms invite you to visit their farms this spring and ask to see Invincible crias. They will be show stoppers, we can assure you.
