  • Bronson is a superior quality alpaca sire who will enhance your herd. He displays outstanding attributes in terms of his retained fineness, fleece quality, physique and placid temperament. We are certainly looking forward to him passing on these highly desirable traits throughout our herd. Is there another sire out there that can match his fineness, low sd and high curvature - I think not!

    Bloodline

    His sire is Oak Ridge Oliver, a National Supreme Champion and the sire of numerous quality offspring. His dam is Hemiccoyo Olivana who has proven to be a prolific dam with her grandson, Bemersyde Estate Romeo (also sired by Oak Ridge Oliver) a multiple Supreme Champion. Her own progeny feature the broad ribbon winners Bemersyde Estate Fergus, Bemersyde Estate Stirling as well as Bronson himself. We love productive families and Bronson certainly fits the bill on both sides of his pedigree.

    Showing

    Since his acquisition we have shown Bronson 3 times in the ring where he was awarded Champion Adult Male at Ashburton Show 2018, Waimate Show 2018 and Mackenzie Show 2019. We also entered Bronson's 4th fleece in the high quality Little River Fleece Show where he won his class and was awarded Champion Senior Male Fleece, yet another broad ribbon! Bronson is so fine that even if he was 2 micron higher it would still receive maximum points for his age group! It went on to win his class at the Nationals.

  • Bronson's retained fineness is quite astounding and an attribute that we are definitely attempting to breed into our herd. Beyond that though he maintains excellent curvature and a quality fleece style from the tip to base of the staple. He displays a high frequency staple with good amplitude while his fleece qualities extend well into his extremities even into his 6th fleece!.

    Bronson has proven himself capable of producing superior offspring including:

  • RD Sven - multiple Supreme Champion

  • RD Fantine - multiple broad ribbon winner

  • Bronson has passed on his key attributes of retained fineness, style and excellent density to his progeny - a winning mix.
