Champion from Champion Dam!

Hidden Hill Peruvian Bonhommie

He looks like Dually, he has a uniformly fine, dense, well-organized fleece like Dually and he took his share of blue ribbons and a purple banner like Dually. But Bonhommie is amazing in his own right. His dam is our white color champion, Peruvian Brietta, and we breed Brietta to Caligula's Casanova each and every year, with such consistent and elite results. Bonhommie's elder full brother, Brigadier, is working at a customer's farm and his first cria have begun to arrive. Guess what? They have the same fleece we have seen on all of Brietta's Casanova kids. Next, Bonhommie's full sister Brillanta, herself a banner champion, has been retained for our foundation herd. Bonhommie took second places at both MAPACA and PAOBA in the 2010 spring shows as a juvenile, and we took him out as a yearling to the Big E last year, where he stood first in his class amid serious competition and won the White Male Color Champion honors. At NAAS he took the blue in a very competitive Yearling Bred and Owned Class with ease.

Bonhommie finally got a little of Brietta's colorful heritage - he has a fawn spot just below his muzzle. We have little doubt that he can produce color if bred to it!

The biggest compliment that means the most to us came from certified sorter extraordinaire, Pam Harwood, who looked at his fleece while at our farm and said, "this guy has the STEAK I am looking for -- his fleece is so uniformly fine!" Now, that means a whole lot more to me than the sizzle of his blue ribbons and banner!

Bonhommie will start his breeding career up at Longwoods Alpaca Farm in Cumberland, ME, starting this next week. The introductory stud fee will be $750. Please contact Pam Harwood at Longwoods Alpaca Farm for details. We will also offer discounts for multiple breedings.
