Alpaca Stud Males
Warramunga Downs Miguel of Fowberry
Miguel possesses all the qualities one requires from a young black male. He is the result of careful genetic selection, has an impressively black lineage, including the addition of some spectacular genetics from Peruvian Hemingway, ILR NWA Luminosa, Peruvian El Bueno, Kingston Park Paragon and Samaria Valley Saladin to name a few. Date of Birth: 15/03/2006.
2010 sixth fleece: 24.64µ SD:4.35, CV:17.7, 8.2% >30µ
Miguel is a well-grown, early-maturing male with notable testicular size for his age; a strong and true-to-type macho with balanced, correct conformation and an excellent substance of bone. His fine fleece has a luxurious handle, displaying crimp with deep amplitude on well defined, thin staples. He produces an exceptional coverage and weight of fleece and he also inherits the spectacular brightness so essential in any black fleece.
This boy has followed in his sire’s footsteps by consistently performing in the show ring on his own merit and also winning over white progeny groups (including those by Jolimont Warrior) in the progeny classes with his black half brother.
Miguel’s sire: Samaria Valley Saladin is having a huge impact on black genetics in Australia at the moment and being heavily used in embryo transfer programmes. This multi-champion young male won back-to-back best black fleece, at the Australian National Show 2005 and 2006 at the Royal Melbourne 2005 and 2006 and at Bendigo, 2004, 2005 and 2006. His fleece has won ten out of eleven of it’s last outings and received some exceptional comments from judges, including “Superior white fleece characteristics, captured in a black fleece.” Saladin is a big bold macho with an impressive, correct frame to carry his outstanding fleece on. His progeny are consistently winning in the show ring.
Miguel’s dam: Warramunga Downs Ghemma comes from a productive line of prize-winning females going back eight years to Miguel’s grand-dam, Warramunga Downs Rebah (Ghemma’s dam) winning 1st Intermediate Black at the Royal Melbourne show 1999. This undeniably fine-fleeced female line includes a great-grand dam recording fleece statistics of 25μ, SD 4.0 at nineteen years old! Ghemma has been so successful for Warramaunga Downs, that she has a full sister.
