What a Showman!

In our first outing, Linux earned 2nd place in Showmanship at the 2025 Ohio State Fair—an impressive debut in a tough class filled with llamas. He handled the crowd, the judge, and the pressure with calm confidence and style.

Personality matters, and Linux has it in his blood. He carries the legacy of Superhombre ALOA, a male known for his intelligence, gentleness, and calm. Years ago, Jodi Wever and I bred Superhombre to RB Eryn and produced Poco Lago Eileen, an alpaca whose quiet strength helped Miss Sue return to the show ring after her paralysis. Linux is her great-great-grandson, and he shows the same steadiness and grace under pressure.

His character was tested early. Just one day after arriving at his new home, Linux was viciously attacked by two German Shepherd dogs. A team at OSU Marysville, including Dr. Jacque, and three students, spent more than two hours cleaning and stitching his wounds. Through every painful injection and daily wound cleaning, he remained trusting and easy to handle. His resilience and gentle nature have been nothing short of extraordinary. When Dr. Moran removed his stitches, she was pleased to see that he was healing well and was still tolerate of treatment.

Though both parents are silver grey, Linux black with patches of deep brown across his blanket and warm reddish tones at his chest and along his legs. His fleece is extremely fine and evenly distributed, just as expected from his grandsire, Aussie.38 Special and his rich Accoyo lineage. He has fine bone structure and a lovely, soft handle. His Accoyo ancestors includes Caligula, Victor, Royal Fawn, El Moustachio, and Felix. Chilean roots extend to Cisco KId , El Gris, The SIlversmith, and Regal Appeal.

In spring 2024, Linux took 1st 2024 Bred & Owned, juvie, Wisconsin Alpaca & Fiber Fest, from Judge Jude Anderson. He spent the summer at White Pine Berry Farm as an alpaca ambassador—gaining confidence amid the bustle of tractors, wagon rides, and kids.

Now healed and thriving, Linux is just beginning his journey in training, showing, and, eventually, breeding. With his calm disposition, notable EPD, and impressive genetics, he’s a future herdsire with a bright future.

Grateful thanks to Wibotawot Farm for the opportunity to bring this remarkable young alpaca east.
