| This
page shows our Champion Herdsires we use in our current breeding
program. Most are ALSA Halter Champions - all have earned
Grand Championships. The males we use for breeding have to
meet certain standards. We have worked hard to establish this
group of breeding males for our program. They are available
for outside breedings. We generally have proven breeding males
for sale. We are careful to be responsible breeders in today's
highly competitive llama industry. Reference sires to our
Champion Herdsires are at the bottom of this page. |

*2007
Update*
FOUR of Bravado's five entered offspring in the 2007 Celebrity
World Futurity placed in THE TOP 10! His Get of Sire entry
was the only non suri get to place in the top 10 of the
Celebrity World Futurity. At the Grand Slam show the same
weekend his offspring earned 8 FIRST PLACE WINS and 3
GRANDS AND 8 RESERVE CHAMPIONSHIPS. His Get of Sire entry
in the Grand Slam show was one of the most consistant
Hightest winning groups, capturing TWO Reserve Championships
and one top 3!
The above photos of Bravado
were taken, from left to right, 2002 GN Grand Champion;
January 2003; September 2003 - Grand Champion Lamafest.
Bravado is an incredible male. Not only did he command
attention during his showring days, but he still does
today. He looks for my attention and affection every single
day. He knows he is special and is truly a gentle spirit.
Words cannot express his meaning to me. He captured many
show wins and earned the prestigious title of Grand National
Grand Champion Heavy Wool male at the 2002 Grand National
llama show. He is an ALSA Halter Champion (20 times) and
also an ALSA Get Of Sire Champion with his first get entries
being shown in 2004. He has also earned his Register Of
Merit award in both categories as well. His book was closed
to outside females for several years, and in late 2006
we decided to selectively offer outside breeding's to
Bravado. Generally we have for sale some beautiful award
winning offspring sired by him. His young are making a
strong impact in the showring. Five of his get were shown
at the 2004 Grand Nationals and all five placed in the
top ten, with one winning his class, and Bravado's get
of sire entry finished 7th out of 18 groups. Bravado kids
made a sweep at the 2005 Grand Nationals as well with
at least 6 of is offspring that showed in the top of their
classes. At the 2006 Grand Nationals his kids earned SIX
Class Champion wins along with TWO Division Championships!
Along with that his get were awarded Reserve Champion
in the Get of Sire class! He is proving himself time and
again in how he is stamping his Champion cria.

Status Symbol - DOB:
9/17/04
ALSA Halter Champion at 11 months
(Peruvian Georgio x
MGF Seventh Heaven)
The above
photos, L to R, show Status Symbol as a long juvenile,
2 year old, and adult in May of 2008 after winning Double
Grand Champion and Reserve Best of Show! This guy caught
our eye when he made a sweep at our 2005 Millennium Magic
show and Breeder's Futurity! Then I seen him again at
the Hard Rock's Gold Rush Futurity where he placed 2nd.
Since the first time I laid eyes on her, I was drwn to
his Dam and have been very impressed with many of her
offspring. His sire, Georgio, has proven his abilities
as a great sire. We appreciate Status Symbol's disposition,
size, correctness, bone, fiber and coloring that he offers
as a breeding male in our llama program. Status
Symbol placed 2nd at Regionals and top 4 at the 05 Grand
Nationals! His only trip there to both. In 2006, he was
triple Grand and Best Of Show at the ILE show! He won
the Millennium Magic Breeder's Futurity! Status Symbol
won the competitive Lamafest Llama Futurity and was named
Grand Champion Suri Male of the futurity! Status Symbol
is 3rd generation suri and his first "kids"
arrived spring 2007: 4 girls, 1 boy, they are shown below.
2008
June Update
TWO Status offspring have
hit the Show Ring! With only two outings, they have captured
an impressive: THREE
Grand's, FOUR Reserve's, TWO BEST OF SHOW, TWELVE firsts
and Two second place wins and they were both in the TOP
of their class at the CELEBRITY WORLD FUTURITY in April!
AS A SIRE to date: 8/9/08, Status Symbol
has sired 10 females and 2 male offspring, with 7 of those
females being suri. To say that Status Symbol has exceeded
our expectations as a Herdsire would be an understatement.
Want to make a sound financial
investment? Invest in an ILR Incentive Fund Enrolled offspring
of Status Symbol or breed to him and criate one for yourself!
Check it out! Stat's first 3 offspring to ever show at
LFA and all three WIN BIG!! My Jesica was 3rd for owner
Cassie Miller, and Silver placed in the top 6 of the largest
class, and then ... well then ... that Wyoming HE WON
CLASS CHAMPION!! His
kids are shown below:

FormTheLineBehind DOB: 5/24/06
( Castlerock's Mojo
x Estrella Fantasia)
FormTheLineBehind's dam, Fantasia, is the Dam of our lovely
Final Choice, making
her grand dam to: LUA
Bravado's Choice, LUA
Bravado's DejaVu and LUA
Bravado's Rapture. On a farm visit in the summer of
2005, we fell in love with the cria at Fantasia's side,
Selection So Simple.
Purchase option at that time was Mom, cria and mom had been
re bred to Mojo. We did not hesitate as we have been blown
away with our Final Choice/Bravado cria and knew that investment
had merit for that sole purpose. Fantasia ended her production
days here on our farm with this guy. "Foreman"
traveled some miles beginning the end of March 2007. His
first trip was to OKC where in class of 31 he earned some
awesome placements in the suri juvenile male class at the
Grand Slam Llama Show! At the 2007 E/H Spring Llama show
he won first place in his class and Grand Champion AND Best
Of Show Male! He went on to win first place & Reserve
Champion Suri male at the Mid Michigan llama show! At the
2007 Ohio State Fair he won first place and was pinned Grand
Champion Suri male! Onto the Indiana State fair, he was
pinned Reserve Champion Suri male! He Rocks! He has earned
39 points and his Halter Register Of Merit Certificate!
He lacks just one championship for his finished Halter Championship!
To finish off his first year showing at the LFA World Championship
Futurity ~ he finished in the top 3 of his class!!
*2008 Update* Foreman is doing well in halter as
well as he is doing surprisingly well in performance too!
His level mind is consistent in as much as he was Reserve
Champion Novice Performance llama at the 2008 Millennium
Magic! He also had strong placing's in all 3 performance
classes at the recent Mid Michigan llama show! Foreman is
3rd generation suri, and look for his first cria to arrive
in 2009! |

ALSA
Halter Champion - 2006 Grand National Class Champion
2006
Grand National Reserve Champion Medium Wool Male
I just cannot say enough about this guy ~ I could fill up
this page with accomplishments earned by him as well as
what he offers in today's market as both a top show animal
and breeding male. We have sold half interest in him to
the De Boom family of Iowa and both of us look forward to
Deja Vu's future in the show ring and the breeding pen.
Llamas like him are not born every day or year for that
matter, and we surely have been gratefully blessed by his
many achievements! Just about every time he stepped into
the ring, he came out with the blue. He is a great showmanship
partner and does well in performance too! *Update*
BIG SPLASH BADABING BASH!! He
was the slam dunk first pace winner with
all of the judges at the quad Grand Slam llama show and
also earned Two Grands and Two Reserve Championships in
the MWM division! He then went on to place 2nd in the Celebrity
World Futurity and was part of dad's get of sire group in
the same World Futurity that earned another top 10 placement!
Deja Vu is now a 31 time Champion! Our
final show together, LFA 2007,
Deja Vu did not let me down, this incredible, talented,
trusting guy won the very challenging LFA Jackpot Obstacle
class! |
