Captain Nemo's Nautilus  - Bay Black, Unproven, $10000
Einstein's Archimedes  - White, Unproven, $5000

Captain Nemo's Nautilus
Price $10,000


















This young male looks to be a spitting image of his multiple blue ribbon award winning sire, Captain Nemo. Nemo always puts a gorgeous head on his crias, and Nautilus is no exception. He exhibits a nicely conformed body with a dense fleece that is just now starting to show his crimp architecture. He had his cria tips shorn off. It appears to be a nice medium wave, high amplitude crimp. His fleece has a nice brightness and fine handle. He is very easy to handle and reminds me a great deal of his half brother, Blacksod. He hopefully will be in the ribbons also when he is old enough to show.

Registration: ARI Registered
ARI #: 31056755
Color: Bay Black


Cocoa Butter
    Dark Brown, 540609, 3/4 Chilean, 1/4 Peruvian

Cocoa is a correct girl who has the most beautiful maroon color I have ever seen--almost to the point that she looks burgundy! She has a very dense fleece that demonstrates a fine crimp. She is out of silver and rose gray parents and is bred to gray. We are hoping that all that gray will produce a fine gray cria in the summer of 2006.

UPDATE-----WOW!!!!!
Cocoa delivered a healthy 17.3 pound ROSE GRAY male on May 13, 2006. His fleece at birth is phenomenal!!! Density and crimp that just doesn't quit! I am very excited about his boy!

2007 UPDATE---she did it again! Our Captain Nemo cria is a gorgeous Bay Black male--healthy with the "Nemo Head" and crimpy fleece.

Captain Nemo
    
Dark Rose Grey, 849790, Full Peruvian

Nemo is as rare as they come.. Full Peruvian, solid dark rose gray!!! This male has it all...color, fineness, crimp, charisma, presence, and attitude!! His fleece (18.6 micron) has a uniform fine handle and crimp. He has consistent gray fiber throughout his blanket. His sire, 5Peruvian Santana, is an AOBA 2000 Blue Ribbon winner in halter competition and the AOBA 2003 and 2004 Blue Ribbon in fleece. His dam, Dona Perlas, Is the 2001 PAOBA Breeders Showcase Reserve Color Champ for gray females. Her sire is 6Peruvian Dom Timbo 5042, a superb dark silver gray herdsire owned by Magical Farms. This guy has inherited the best from both parents with impeccable fiber, conformation and presence. He gets more gray with each passing month.

Einstein's Archimedes
(Full Peruvian)
Price $5,000



Archimedes is the son of NWA/Line Einstein, a Hemingway son and multiple Blue Ribbon winner. His dam is a Pachacuti granddaughter, bringing these 2 great genetic lines together. "Archy" is haltered trained and is easily handled. He is a large boned boy and was pushing 60 pounds at 2 months if age. He has a dense fleece with excellent brightness when opened up. His crimp is a short wave, high frequency crimp that is consistent from front to back and top to bottom. He will make an excellent genetic addition to a herd that likes to work on white in their breeding program. Look for him in the show ring in the spring of 2008. He is well worth more than the asking price, but due to the number of boys on our small farm, I must make room.
