New Alpacas Coming to Pedro's Pride Ranch

We are pleased to announce that two new Alpacas will be joining the herd at Pedro's Pride Ranch in Sagle, ID.

Through a recent purchase, Pedro's Pride Ranch has acquired two wonderful, pregnant females from Alpacas de la Patagonia, of Camano Island, WA.

Patagonia's Lucky Charm is fawn colored, with very fine fleece. She will be two years old this August. Her dam is fawn, her sire is rosegray. Lucky Charm is bred to the famous Kapsa, a thickly-fibered rosegray who was the 2003 AOBA Gray Champion. Here is a photo of the Charmer after last shearing.


Patagonia's Cilantro will be two years old in September. She is a dynamic black with a white face and socks. Her dam is Jazz, a black. Cilantro's sire is champion Patagonia's Neruda, whose 10-month-old cria recently sold at auction for $80,000. Here is a photo our new girl, Cilantro:

Cilantro is bred to a statuesque black Alpaca named Guevara. Her cria is due in the spring of 2007.

As a continuing part of our breeding program, we will look at combining the championship qualities of these Patagonia girls with our future herdsire who is the son of Premier's Absolute, a champion for sure. We believe these two bloodlines will produce some incredible crias.

As always, our main goal in our breeding program is to guarantee genetic diversity and strong, healthy, conformationally-correct Alpacas.

I sure hope the Spring is as nice where you are as it is here in North Idaho.

Remember, if you have a ranch store, Lisa has some wonderful alpaca products from Peru at wholesale prices. Click here for Alpaca Products.

If you are going to be in the Tri-Cities area of Washington, contact these two ranches to meet some really nice people and visit some great alpacas.
