Not to sound like "name droppers," but we here at Split Rock Farms are proud to say that our herd offers among THE BEST bloodlines to be found anywhere in North America. We've worked hard to establish fine quality -- not by buying a whole herd whose genetics had been improved for us, but by doing it ourselves each year from scratch and bit-by-bit. The names of some of the famous herdsires who have left a mark on our herd read like a "Who's Who." What you're looking for may be here:
A) Alazam, Alfonzo, Amadeus, Apache, Armani, Avagadro, Avalanche;
B) Batido, Bravo, Bueno;
C) Camilio, Commandor, Commander, Comanche, Conclusive, Coyo Destiny;
D) Daniel, DHH Major;
G) Gulliver;
H) [Peruvian] Hemingway;
I) Ivano;
J) [Peruvian] Javier, Jolimont Peruvian Alpamayo;
L) [Peruvian] Legacy, Legacy's Golden Boy, Lionel;
M) Marcoyo, Moustachio;
O) Orlando;
P) Paheko, Patronne, Pauco, Pistachio;
S) Super Sam, HP Saharra, Shahtoosh, Sky Pilot, Sweet William;

They're All Right Here!
Some of our herdsires are available for outside breedings. Please call for further info. We do give discounts for multiple breedings and drive-by breedings. We always aim to please!

Along with his dense and uniform fleece, he has a strong, well-built physique, good height, straight legs, exceptional bite and gorgeous head. To top it off, he is always a gentleman. A perfect alpaca male specimen.

His fleece is extremely dense, luminous and sumptuous, translating into fabulous choices for use. Fert's conformation is incomparable, with good bite and a very handsome head. Your females will love him and their cria will be proud to call him "dad".

2nd 2009 Empire Alpaca Assoc. Spin-Off, Black
This true black, double-registered boy possesses impeccably proportionate conformation, bite and presence. Always anticipated to be herdsire material, he has never disappointed. Raven's first 2007 cria inherited all of his fine credentials including Raven's true black, lovely soft fleece (21.4 microns 2006) - wonderful for a black - and his beautiful head. Easily managed, yet always carrying himself like the king that he is, Raven is a grandson of the famous Batido, and, as such, carries his lineage to even greater heights.

Prime Time reigns supreme around the pasture. He wears proudly and undisputedly his herd placement of alpha male at Split Rock. For all his bravado, he is a calm male, displaying a regal head and conformation. His fleece is extremely thick and uniform throughout. A quality macho, he is the son of Pperuvian Javier (direct from Peru, son of the world-famous Don Julio, producer of many award-winning champions) and dam, MMR Prima (a Gold Standard daughter-tops in Western Canada). Prime Time treats his women with kindness and respect. A truly excellent source of fabulous genes!

Rain is one of the most beautiful alpacas you will ever have the pleasure of seeing: perfectly proportioned, gorgeous head, perfect bite, all topped with lovely, pure black fleece. We expect his leadership qualities will also spill over to adulthood and perhaps alpha male status wherever he resides. Curious, friendly and always aware of his environment. This boy's career is one to follow!
