IT TAKES FINE BLACK FIBER TO MAKE A “LITTLE BLACK DRESS”
This started as a search for an exceptional fine fibered true black herdsire, which ended at Cinders of Ricochet Ranch in 2012. Only to find that Brad & Jandy Sprouse had recently purchased half interest in him, and his date card was closed. “But we could buy offspring next year!” In 2014 we purchased 2 juvie Cinders’ daughters, GLR Phoebe and GLR Ongeleigh. These 2 females helped us win the 2015 AOA Classic Breeders cup at the AOA fleece show and Black female Champion at Suri Network fleece show along with multiple halter championships, 7 banners in all.
LHSA CALLIOPE possesses TRUE BLACK genetics from both her Sire and Dam as well as their Sires & Dams, which includes: Rastamon, Cousy’s Midnight Rock, Cinders, GLR Ali and Shavano. In 2015 LHSA teamed up with OverHome Alpacas to purchase Calliope’s sire GLR Moab a true black 4-time banner winner and half brother to GLR Phoebe on the dam’s side.
In addition to show results, we rely heavily on proven genetics and fleece data as the determining factors in our breeding program. Strict adherence to this standard and years of research has come to fruition in this female.
