Bold Ruler has extreme coverage with bold crimp up his neck and down his legs! He has consistently shorn 12 to 13 pounds of fleece annually, total fleece weight for 2009 was 13.4! Ruler has terrific staple length and density. His bone structure is substantial, teeth are perfect, and conformation is great. Bold Ruler is just what his name suggests....BOLD!
He has nearly 20 cria on the ground and they are quite impressive! His progeny are solid with heavy bone and structure. The fleece on his cria shows strong character and density. And the shine on the fleece makes you want to put on shades! Don't be afraid to breed Bold to your colored females, he's allowing most of the color of the dam to come through. His cria have ranged in color from white to brown, and even a few that are categorized in rose gray when shown. He's registered as white but I would call him beige with even a tint of light fawn at the crown of his head.
The results of his 2010 fleece sort are in! Bold Ruler came in at a grade 3 with micron range of 23 to 26 at 10 years of age! Remarks from the sorter, "very dense, bright white fleece". 8 out of 10 for brightness and density.
Bold Ruler now resides on another ranch but Alpacas from MaRS has retain breedings through Oct 2012. Breedings would need to be arranged as a drive by or we can have Bold Ruler available at our place with plenty of advance notice. We have some of his offspring and would be more than happy to provide fleece samples and additional information.
The breeding fee listed is for a drive by breeding. If you wish for your female to stay for pregnancy confirmation, regular agistment fees will apply.
