Kissing Cousins Alpaca Farm ~ Since 1997

Description

Miss Congeniality's 2024 blanket fleece weighs a whopping 6 pounds making her the highest yielding daughter from her sire. She and her dam are quality stud hembras...high-quality producing dams that can consistently "criate" stud quality sons.

Miss Congeniality is completely adorable with a short muzzle and fully covered head. Her frame is correct and compact. She has a soft, dense, crimpy, uniform fleece and a calm temperament, even when pregnant. At shearing time this year (2024), she's one of those alpacas with a blanket staple length that far exceeds the rest of the fleece...making her look like a wine barrel on legs. See auction catalog for '24 pre-shearing photo (sheared 6/5/24).

Miss Congeniality and her pedigree are perfect breeding to MSG and nationals Composite Champion Snowmass RRoyal Fox who is at the top 2% for AFD in the EPDs. 2023 maiden breeding: 8/11/23; settled with one mating. (Her dam and maternal brother are maroons and both have produced classic grays.) Fox has been here for most of his soon to be 17 years...he looks great and acts like he's 12. His crias are healthy with uniformity for: fineness/character/color; tight crimp; silky softness and little to no guard hair so the fleeces barely need any skirting. They also have goofy personalities, are alert and intelligent with even dispositions and are reliable producers and very easy to manage.

Sire, Majestic Peruvian Champ (Jumanji son with Royal Fawn, MF champion; 1st at Futurity 2x) produced a 7 pound blanket (14 pounds total) when he arrived here at six years old. His EPD for FW is 2.866%.

Dam, Fiona, is a maroon (Paso Robles, Matrix, Sizlin, Dom Timbo) and one of my best producers. She has six EPD traits inside 3 to 18%. Also on the farm are siblings, a TB sister named Eclipse who has great EPDs and last year produced a classic MSG with Fox, named Granite, and her maternal brother, Jive Talkin', who is also a maroon and one of my best producing herdsires...see his son Rocky (Out of a fawn Fox daughter - classic MRG - 2nd at both CABA and AWE in 2024 in his unshorn cria fleece).

7/16/24 MB male cria born; unassisted; excellent mothering skills. He's full Peruvian and very typey nose to rump to toes...wedge-shaped head and short muzzle with depth of jaw, short ears, rump with low tail set, thick cria fleece with royal fineness, uniform fineness; uniform color, complete coverage, perfect proportions with level topline, deep chest, correct legs. Note his pedigree has several colored ancestors from the most stringent 6P importation. Rebred to Fox for 2025.
