Hilltop Alpacas Adds To Our Quality Herd with Extreme Animals

Scott made a quick trip out to Washington and Oregon in January and made 4 very significant purchases for our breeding program.  We are excited to introduce them to you below.

	High Points Legacy’s Elegance - We are so excited to be adding this Light Fawn Full Accoyo girl.  Her mom is a Caligula Daughter and her former owners, Bill and Sue Henry of Skagit Valley Alpacas made the insightful decision to pair mom with Legacy.  Wow what a decision.  Scott took one look at her and knew he could not pass her up and had to add her to the Hilltop Line-up.  Talk about insightful; she has already earned 3 championship banners in her short show career.
	High Points Honeysuckle Rose – Here is another top animal from the Skagit Valley herd.  She’s an extreme quality female that has 4 firsts and 2 Reserve Champions to her credit.  She is out of a grey Guellermo dam and a fantastic Fawn Sire.  We are really excited about the genetic potential of this girl.
	Pacific Crest Palisade - The last of the 3 girls purchased from Bill and Sue Henry.  Palisade has also won in the ring taking a first at the 2001 AOBA National Show.  She is a Camilio Daughter and she has passed her quality off to her cria, 2 girls so far and her first had a 13.7 micron and her second daughter took a 1st and Reserve Champion at Palooza this year.  Palisade is bred to a top West Coast black male for an August cria.  This is a very good chance for a knock out black baby.
	Upstream’s Nebula - Scott just couldn’t get over this fleece when he parted it in the middle of a rain storm in OR over the winter.  Many, many whites don’t achieve the fiber quality of this girl, she is just incredible.  We got her home, sheared her and sent the fleece off to the National Fleece Show in June and it won a first and Reserve Champion.  We guess Cammeron Holt agreed!  She is a Microsoft girl bred to a very nice fawn Caligula son for an August Cria.  We just can’t wait.
	Princess Zoe -  Zoe brings many things to the Hilltop herd, black for one.  But she also has some really strong lines behind her, Accoyo Leon and Drambuie her grandfathers are pillars in this industry, however the part that sold us on her was the Peruvian Matadore baby that she will be having in November.  These are all lines that we have been looking for recently and we were able to get them all combined in this genetic powerhouse.

A gigantic Thank You goes out to both Bill and Sue Henry of Skagit Valley Alpacas, Frank and Jody Hezoucky of Lana Bella Alpaca Farm and also Alan McConkie and Chris Riley of Upstream Alpacas for making these 5 girls available to Hilltop this year.  We are really ecstatic to have them in our herd.

The Next Generation of Alpacas Farmers Starts at Hilltop

Tyler (4) and Kelsey (2) have made the big leap into the alpaca business with the purchase of Nebula (mentioned above).  The college funds have been such dogs that mom and dad decided to start them off on the college path the alpaca way.  They are so excited to be in this industry (especially when they can remember which alpaca is their’s) that Tyler has already picked out the name of their first baby due in August.  Tyler says it will be Angel if it’s a girl and Davey Jones if it’s a boy.  I guess we will have to wait on that one, but we really need to work on a name for their farm.  We will let you know when we pick one.

Hollywood Has a Big Spring!

Hollywood has been retired from our show string and is now designated to working man’s status on our farm.  However, he further established himself as quite possibly the best Fawn Male in the State this spring with out ever leaving the farm.
