The mark of a great herdsire is the success of his offspring. In only three short years, Hotazel offspring have taken over 90 awards. They have won 20+ Color or Reserve Championships, 30+ Firsts, 35+ Seconds, 10 Thirds, 6 Fourths and 2 Fifths. For those who say you can't compete in second fleece - a few of those Banners were with previously shorn alpacas! His offspring have won a banner at every show we have attended and in every color group except gray. His whites have even taken champion over full accoyo whites - now that's just plain fun!
Hotazel was specifically chosen to compliment Jet Stream and the rest of our breeding program. How rare it is to find a dark suri with lock structure superior to most lights! In addition to that, he is well balanced, conformationally correct, and exhibits outstanding luster. He also has well above average density, (skin biopsy in the top 10%- ask for results). In fact, we chose him specifically for his luster and density. Hotazel tends to pass a very distinctive head style to most of his offspring, in addition to improving the fleece characteristics of the dams.
To celebrate the success of his offspring, we have reduced his stud fee by $500 for any female sent home with us from Nationals or sent before the end of June. (regular fee - $3,000) Since we are looking to help create a Gray Color Champion, we are offering an extra discount for your second place - Champion gray girls. Contact us for details!
Skin Biopsy Stats:
51 follicles/sq mm
S/P Ratio: 10.4 to 1
Note: At the time that Hotazel was Biopsied, other stats like % Medullation, level of glands and the spread between the secondaries and primaries were not being measured.
Congratulations to Jackie Mathiason and Brad Dean of Alpaca Road on the purchase of this incredible impact herd sire! Hotazel has now moved to their beautiful farm in Maryland where he is available for outside breedings. We have retained a few sons who are standing stud here in St. Louis, M
