    Stirling Ridge McCHEYNE

    Huacaya, Male, Unproven | Medium Fawn

    AOA# 35317364   D.O.B. 9/27/2013 (12 yrs)

    Sire:
    Diomedes' DIRK of Stirling Ridge 
    | AOA# 31414913  | White  |
    We must say, with much sadness, Dirk is no longer with us. He had a urinary blockage and had to be put down on May 6, 2019 . The vets at WSU tried valiantly to save him, but it was obvious to all that he was going downhill. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord! Job 1:21 He was a phenomenal male.
    ______________________________________________________________
    Look at his 2018 histogram. He's TEN years old. Do you think that might mean lingering fineness? This boy just keeps on amazing us!

    In 2018, I did a search on OpenHerd of white proven 1/2 Accoyo Peruvian studs, 2 to 9 years old in the U.S. 42 white studs came up with stud fees ranging from $200 to $3500. The interesting thing is that of those 42 studs, only 6 had a recent histogram from 2016 or 2017. There were NO STUDS with recent histograms that had a micron under 21.

    This piqued my interest so I did a search on Alpaca Nation and pulled up 67 white studs, 6-10 years. Of those, only 6 had a recent histogram (2016-17). Of those, the best was a 5-year-old with an 18.3 micron (very presentable!) There were famous farm progeny and even an Aga Khan son and most had no recent histogram.
    The fact that Dirk is 10 years with a 18 micron is rather phenomenal!

    He did us proud with his 2018 EPD results

    Top 3% in AFD with —1.908 value: his progeny should have lower than average AFD
    Top 1.5% in SDAFD with —.602 value: progeny should have more uniformity than average
    TOP 1.5 in Spin Fineness, —2.145 value: progeny should have lower SF than average
    TOP 5% in %F>30, —6.265 value: progeny should have less micron >30 than average
    TOP 3% in mean curvature, +5.444 value: progeny should have more crimp than average
    SDMC, value +2.041:progeny should have more uniform crimp than average
    %Medullation, value —1.024: progeny should have less medullation
    Fleece Weight, value +.241: progeny should have heavier FW than average

    ALL of these are POSITIVE fleece characteristics. His only ding was in staple length. We recommend you choose your girls with the LONGEST staple length and the coarsest fleece and see how Dirk will improve them.

    Excellent 2014 EPD results of 16828 alpacas:
    Top 1% SDAFD
    Top 1% Mean Curvature
    Top 2% Spin Fineness & SDMC
    Top 3% AFD
    Top 4% %F>30

    And . . . DIRK won the 2014 AOA National Spin-Off!

    His sire, Accoyo America Diomedes (now deceased), ranked in the top 1% in the 2013 EPD stats for all these: AFD, SDAFD, SF %F>30, MC, SDMC.

    Rubio's RHIANNON of Stirling Ridge

    Huacaya, Female, Proven, White, 3/8 Peruvian, 1/8 Bolivian, 1/2 Chilean
    ARI# 31949408 | DOB: 6/1/2009
    Here's one pretty, easy keeping little lady with a fleece that's SO USEABLE! Yes, she may be 16, but she's in great shape and doesn't require any special care for her age.

    Here's what her 2022 EPD shows she is likely to give her cria:
    Ranked 64% for AFD, value —.051, a bit lower AFD than breed average
    Ranked 49% for SDAFD, value —.085, a more uniform fleece than average
    Ranked 56% for Spin Fineness, value —.187, a finer SF than average
    Ranked 30% for %F>30, value —3.435, a lesser micr...

    Bidding Info

    Description

    We are aiming to downsize our herd.
    Also be sure to check out McCheyne in our package deals where his price is even better!

    McCheyne (pronounced McShane) is a handsome little lad with a great heritage.
    He produces a wonderfully versatile and useable fiber. It's Grade 3, great for mittens, hats, scarves, socks.
    He is being sold here as a fiber boy with no breeding guarantees.

    His 2023 EPD results:
    Ranked 29% for AFD value —0.97, his cria will likely have a finer fleece
    TOP 25% for SDAFD, value — 0.301: his cria will likely have a more uniform fiber diameter
    Ranked 27% for SF, value —1.029: his cria will likely have a lower spin fineness
    Ranked 30% for %F>30, value —4.162, his cria will likely have a lower % of fibers greater than 30 micron
    TOP 24% for MC, value 2.391, his cria will likely have a higher frequency crimp than average
    SDMC, value 0.835, assesses the uniformity of curvature
    TOP 20% for %M, value —2.584: his cria will likely have less % fiber medullation
    Ranked 96.5% for MSL, value —4.922, his cria will likely have a shorter staple length
    Ranked 79.8% for FW, value —0.017, his cria will likely have a bit less heavy fleece weight
    BW, value —0.07 his cria will likely be a bit less for birth weight

    His dam is Rhiannon, who has quite the genetic lineup: Caligula, Don Julio, Rosario, Bueno, Cloud 9 Comet (MSG). His sire, Dirk, also has an impressive background: Hemingway, Hemingway-Accoyo Nautilus, Guellermo, Michelangelo, Onyx de Mico, Caligua, Accoyo America Diomedes!

    McCheyne, as you can see in the second picture with my husband, is quite small! He gained weight as a cria until he reached 40 lbs., then was stuck there for quite awhile. We had him checked for parasites, which revealed nothing. Quite a bit later, we got him checked again to find that he had the elusive Emac. Once treated for that, he continued to gain weight, but he is small. The vet said that Emac definitely could have stunted his growth. It wouldn't surprise me though if he produces average sized cria.
