Shaquille

Shaquille is co-owned with Fleecy Dale Alpacas

His awards can fill a page... his ribbons can literally fill a stage. This incredible son of 5Peruvian Quicksilver and NWA LTD Sunshine has the outstanding lineage, fleece and conformational qualities to take your grey breeding program to the very top. Shaquille is the grandson of Accoyo Peruvian Leon, a rare dark fawn Accoyo herdsire owned by Heart’s Desire Farm. His dam, NWA LTD Sunshine, is no stranger to producing championship sons, as evidenced by her other son, MFI Scimitar. We believe that “Shaq,” as we affectionately refer to him on our farm, has set the standard for outstanding grey fleece with crimp and density characteristics usually seen only in light fleeces.

Shaquille offers both new and established farms instant recognition…a female bred to Shaquille simply sells for more off of our farm! Our wonderful partnership in Shaquille with John and Lauren LoVerde is coming to an end, and we have chosen the 2005 Magical Farms/Ameripaca Breeder’s Choice Auction as the venue worthy enough of offering this remarkable herdsire.

Shaquille’s show career has been nothing less than phenomenal…just some of his show winnings are listed below. He stands at the “head of his class” in so many ways! All of his ribbons, banners and awards and most of his incredible show-winning fleeces will be available for viewing at the auction and will sell with Shaquille so that his new owner will have them for marketing and promotional purposes. It is extremely rare to find a grey alpaca with such excellent fleece characteristics and density; you must see Shaquille to fully appreciate him. Anyone serious about breeding for outstanding greys should consider Shaquille. He will put your farm on the map!! The Forstners and the LoVerdes are PROUD to offer Shaquille in the 2005 Breeder’s Choice Auction!!

Another picture of this stately herdsire, you can clearly see Shaquille's incredible coverage and excellent conformation.

Look below for a picture of Shaquille's fleece, as well as just a few of his incredible offspring and what their happy owners have to say about them.

At left is a picture of Shaquille's fleece, but a picture cannot (and does not) do it the justice it deserves.  Have a look at Shaquille's long list of show winnings above to get a better idea of the fleece quality we're talking about, but most importantly, come see it yourself!
Owners of Shaquille offspring have been thrilled with the results - the male pictured at left is a Shaquille son named AofO Silver Celebration who is co-owned by Alpacas of Ohio and Hilltop Alpacas.  Here is their writeup on Silver Celebration:

"Silver is now a four time Color Champion, after winning First and Champion at the AOBA Nationals Fleece Show in Utah (again as a juvenile!). More proof that his fleece is amazing! In halter, he has been judged by 4 different judges, and all have said that he is the full package - typey, great bone, great head, but the best part is his fiber!!! The judges routinely comment that he is well balanced, has great bone, and his fleece is very consistent, dense and fine with wonderful crimp structure. He is the total package, and he is definitely living up to our expectations! He will be a great herdsire one day - like his sire Shaquille!"

BlueGenes Alpaca Ranch owns a Shaquille daughter named Amelia Bedalia that they too are extremely proud of, here is what they have to say about her:

"At BlueGenes Alpaca Ranch, we are very proud owners of Amelia Bedelia, a Shaquille daughter and the very first cria born on our farm. She's special to us in many ways. She has come in first in her juvenile class at Empire, second in the yearling class at the Virginia Classic, second at North American, and most recently first at MAPACA's Jubilee.

She's a big girl for her age, and her fleece is just dynamite. Believe it or not, we think this year's fleece is even better than last year's. Her conformation is terrific and her head is the type the judges love to see in the show ring."
