SAWDUST'S MADRONE

7/28/2019 BOMBSHELL had her cria today—a fantastic boy, 16.5 #. Excellent conformation and beautiful fiber. He is an ISIDORO son. A new wood name is coming soon. MADRONE!! We thank Chris and Lori Works, Kendall Creek Farms, Bradford, PA., for selling us this amazing PG female at the 2018 Snow Diamond Select Auction. She is truly a wonderful addition to our herd. From Kendall Creek Farms: The main thing to know about this young lady, other than her knockout genetics, is that her fleece is dark brown and yet the quality of most whites. She has incredible fineness and handle, buttery soft density, and a phenotype we want to impart to every alpaca. At her first show, the Buckeye in Ohio, where there were over 400 entries, Bombshell placed second in her class, losing only to the Color Champ and eventual Female Judge's Choice winner. She has gone on to the "Bride's Maid" 3 additional times in 2017.... darn it!! But you know, she is consistently at the top of challenging classes and in great company. Until........ low and behold - Reserve Champion at the 2017 PAOBA Breeders Showcase!!!! Well Deserved Bombshell!! This girl is second to None! Bombshell's sire is our very own LMFI Jeremiah's Indescribable. Indy now has 15 registered offspring from 8 different farms, which is enough to generate some statistics for you. Of the 15 cria, 11 are show age, and ten have been shown at halter. 100% of them have placed in their class, 86% of those have placed in the top 3, and 27 of the 35 awards were for first or second place. Four have won Color Champion or Reserve Champion banners, with seven banners between them. The four champion alpacas were one black, two brown, and one white. So, a 100% ribbon rate and a 40% Champion rate. This measures up rather well and, most importantly, is an indication of the consistency and uniformity of this male's production, regardless of color. We are looking for this in our breeding program, and we are proud to have him as part of the KCF Herdsire Row!! Bombshell is now confirmed pregnant to KCF ISIDORO. Madrone, her male cria, is growing and is a gorgeous guy. Bombshell has been bred to our Sawdust's Almond Thunder for a 2021 cria. A girl named Sawdust's Bethabara.
