Re: [AlpacaTalk] First time daddy!!

If you're looking for a good LSG herd sire, my mom's got a really nice
jr sire, placed 2nd at AlpacaMania 2005 ahead of Aussie Rockford and El
R Luciano sons. Woodland Meadows Greyson had 22 microns at almost 2
years of age, from last year's clip. He has really nice crimp and
excellent conformation, and a very full topknot. He has no spots, just
a very uniform LSG with the typical tuxedo white. He's one I'm
seriously considering breeding my TB Bolivian dam to this year.
