HUACAYA STUD MALES

HUACAYA STUD MALE ALPACAS At Spring Farm. We have always strived to include the best genetics in our alpaca breeding program by utilising the very best stud male alpacas – in both huacaya and suri – available to us.

To further enhance our breeding program, we have selected from amongst the worlds best genetics.

In 2018, we added the proven grey stud male huacaya to our team: EP Cambridge Gunsmith (mid grey).

Gunsmith will need no introduction if you were at the BAS National 2018. He had one cria at the Show - Velvet Hall Storm Surge. Storm Surge won the grey championship and was the only junior in the line up for Supreme! At the 2019 National, Gunsmith's crias took Champion Grey Male and Reserve Champion Grey Female.

We are now starting to see his genetics come through within our herd. Gunsmith's son, Springfarm Wizard, was the top junior grey fleece huacaya at the Eastern Alpaca Group Fleece Show in August 2020. With halter showing resuming in 2021 we took him to the South of England where he took Champion Huacaya Grey Male. In Autumn 2021 we entered his fleece to the Heart of England Show. Not only did Wizard take Champion Grey again, but went on to take Best Huacaya Character...and Judge's Choice. Although Wizard has now gone to work at Peak District Alpacas as a stud male, his genetics are available via his crias here at Spring Farm.

In 2021 we added two more young stud males with amazing pedigrees from Artwork Alpacas: Debonair (light brown) and American Legend (mid fawn). We expect their genetics to take our breeding programmes forward in 2023 and beyond.

In 2022, we have further added two more huacaya stud males. Houghton Blaine is light grey, already proven and has joined us already. The other is a stunning black male - Beck Brow on the Rocks. On the Rocks worked for the first time in late 2022 and we cant wait to see what Blaine and On the Rocks will do for our black and grey genetics in the future.

In 2024, at 2 year of age, Spring Farm Caesar stepped up to breed successfully. Caesar is a home bred son of Agamemnon which brings a new genetic line to our grey/black breeding lines. He has an absolutely strapping frame and abundance of fibre coverage. His fleece is fine, dense and low in SD. He represents exactly the characteristics we are breeding for at Spring Farm Alpacas. We are very excited to see what he produces in 2025.

 

 

EPC Gunsmith (Date of birth 17/12/2012)

EPC Gunsmith, recently purchased by Spring Farm Alpacas was originally selected and imported as the first grey stud male ever owned by Beck Brow Alpacas. This followed his success at the Australian National Show 2014. Gunsmith is sired by the noted Wyterrica Propaganda who is in turn sired by the famous Blue Grass Waterloo Sunset. Gunsmith has a mid steel grey fleece which displays good density, character and style, and a very good degree of fineness and uniformity of micron. Gunsmith first progeny were born in 2016 and Beck Brow Alpacas and their co-owners Velvet Hall Alpacas were delighted with their quality.
Gunsmith’s first progeny entered the show ring in 2017:
Champion and Reserve Champion in both grey male and grey female categories were awarded to Gunsmith’s progeny at NWAG Alpaca Championships 2017.
Champion Grey Female and Reserve Champion Grey Male (Gunsmith was Champion) at SAG Alpaca Championships 2017
Gunsmith’s progeny in 2018:
Champion Grey Male (Velvet Hall Storm Surge) at the BAS NATIONAL 2018 and was the only junior in the line up for Supreme!
At the BAS National 2019, Gunsmith’s crias again were dominant in the grey classes. Talla took Reserve Champion Grey Female and Storm Surge took Champion Grey Male for the second year running!
At the NWAG 2019 the same two Gunsmith cria took Champion Grey Female and Champion Grey Male.
Storm Surge and Talla then went on to win Champion Grey male and female respectively at the Scottish and Northumberland Shows!

Our first Gunsmith cria were born in 2019. We had hoped to take at least one to the 2020 BAS National – but COVID intervened. However, we entered Springfarm Wizard’s fleece to the Eastern Alpaca Group Fleece Show 2020 instead – and his fleece was awarded first place in the highly competitive junior grey huacaya fleece class! Gunsmith’s cria have continued to impress and we are expecting 5 more in 2025.

If you are interested in grey genetics – contact us for details as early as possible.

Beck Brow On The Rocks (Date of birth 09/05/2020)

Black stud male alpaca - On the Rocks

We bought On the Rocks from Beck Brow Alpacas in 2022. On the Rocks has a very dense fleece and is very colour consistent as well as bright and soft handling and carries these qualities into the extremities well. The change of only one micron between his first and second fleece stats is exceptional for a black male.

On the Rocks sire is Beck Brow On the Money who is a multiple Championship winning herd sire. His dam is Beck Brow Cloud 9 who herself is a Championship winning female.

On the Rocks worked for the first time in 2022 and we are super excited to see his first cria – due in 2023

Debonair (Date of birth 21/6/19)

Brown huacaya stud male fleece

When we first saw Debonair at Artwork Alpacas, we just knew we had to add him to our stud male team. Debonair is beautifully conformed with a stunning fleece. Then we looked at his pedigree and just thought wow. Debonair joined us in 2021 and we are expecting great things from him in 2022 and beyond.

Debonair’s pedigree reads like a roll call of top Snowmass genetics on his sire’s side allied to the very best international black genetics on his dam’s side. Debonair’s sire is Snowmass Bronze Royalty, his grandsire Snowmass Matrix Midnight and his great grandsire Snowmass Matrix (sold at auction in the US at $675,000 – the highest recorded price paid for an alpaca at auction). On his dam’s side is Lilyfield Jack of Spades and Canchones Witness – two globally important black stud males.

American Legend (Date of birth 24/6/2019 )

American Legend's fleece

American Legend is a beautiful solid mid fawn huacaya with an impeccable pedigree on both sides of his parentage.

Legend’s sire is Snowmass Mystic Star who is both a UK and US Champion brown champion with Snowmass Matrix (sold at auction in the US for $675,000 – a record) in his near pedigree.

Legend’s pedigree on his dams side is no less impressive and all Snowmass. His dam, Snowmass Lacey Velvet, won the Kansas Futurity Champion Brown.

Legend joined us in 2021 and we are expecting great things from him in 2022 and beyond.

Houghton Blaine (Date of birth 15/6/2016 )

grey huacaya stud male in sussex

Houghton Blaine joined us in March 2022 from Herts Alpacas. We are so pleased to be able to add another proven stunning grey huacaya stud male. Blaine was shown at the BAS National Show in 2019 taking 1st Place as an adult.

Blaine’s fleece is very dense, very fine and even in his fineness. He has a very low percentage of primary fibres and cuts a very heavy, stylish fleece full of high frequency, high amplitude crimp from skin to tip.

When it comes to adding elite bloodlines, Blaine offers an outstanding opportunity for those looking to breed elite grey alpacas. Sired by Houghton Noah II a stunning grey male who has produced a number of top champions. Blaine’s dam is a top Australian import Britannia of Houghton (light fawn).

Blaine’s pedigree is unrivalled boasting famous names including Cedar House Brave Heart, Purrumbete Highlander, Jolimont Ruffino, Peruvian Hemingway and Snowmass Peruvian Escabar.

Springfarm Caesar (Date of birth 30/5/2022 )

Springfarm Caesar - grey champion huacaya stud male

Spring Farm Caesar is an impressive young male with a striking stature. Bred at two years old his first crias are due in 2025. He is broad across the chest and with a strong frame and good coverage. Caesar has a dense, uniform and fine fleece with a low standard deviation at second shearing. With a pedigree to match this stylish male, we are confidently looking forward to his first progeny.

His sire is Redens Agamemnon – and to date, Caesar remains Agamemnon’s only grey son. Agamemnon is an exceptional son of Surtierra Shadow who has himself had significant success in the Show ring. Agamemnon achieved Champion or Reserve Champion black huacaya in every halter or fleece show in which he was entered.

Caesar’s dam, Spring Farm Vivien, is a Cedar House Long John granddaughter. She has produced another knockout grey cria in 2024 to Beck Brow on the Rocks.

Black Velvet (Date of birth 18/7/2019)

Black Velvet - super quality black stud male huacaya

Black Velvet joined us in 2021 from Butlers Farm in Essex. We selected him in large part for his outstanding pedigree. Black Velvet’s sire is Surtierra Shadow. Surtierra Shadow was imported to the UK from Australia. Amongst his many Championships and prizes, he won Champion Black Huacaya Fleece at the Australian Nationals in both 2013 and 2014.

Black Velvet’s parents and grand parents are all true black although Black Velvet does have Snowmass Grey Legend on his dam’s side. On his dam’s side he also has Daer Enahs Streslecki – another outstanding black male.

Black Velvet was born in July 2019. After arriving here at Spring Farm, we asked him to do a small number of matings in 2021 – in the hope that he might prove fertile as a 2 year old. We need not have worried and so far, he has 3 crias on the ground: 2 grey and 1 black. We are hoping for great things from Black Velvet given the quality of cria he is already producing.

Mobile Stud Services

Owners of female alpacas can have their newborn crias and mothers on their own farm while the females are remated – by choosing our mobile stud services. Alpacas load easily once halter trained (into a trailer or purpose built van in our case!) and sit (cush) when travelling, making the process of getting your females remated relatively stress free.

All of our stud males are halter trained and used to travelling. Typically the male would need to visit approximately every two weeks – until the female is rejecting (spitting off). In our experience, the first mating is normally 70% successful.

We should point out that the loading pictures are of Charlie Brown who is not a stud male but had hoped to be! We now have a purpose built van with all creature comforts for travelling our stud male alpacas.

Alpaca Stud Services - Terms & Conditions

We guarantee a live cria on the ground for 3 days or a free return to service (mileage not included).
The live cria guarantee will be honoured subject to a vet post mortem proving that the death was not as a result of negligence. It applies to the original purchaser and is not transferable.

All females must be in good health prior to a mobile mating – and should not be offered for mating if in any doubt. We will discuss bio-security prior to a mobile mating taking place.

The first visit with our males is free for a 50 mile distance from Spring Farm. For greater distances or return matings, a fee for mileage will be charges (currently £0.55 per mile).

If the female has sat three times following successful matings, it is the owner’s responsibility to speak to their vet for advice on the female’s status or offer a substitute female.

We will raise an invoice upon a scanned confirmed pregnancy. This scanning service is free – subject to being within 50 mile distance of Spring farm – otherwise a mileage fee will apply. Payment terms are strictly within 30 days.
