    2013 AOBA National Champion Fleece!

    BMF Taos' Zeppelin - sold

    Huacaya, Herdsire (Male), Proven | Bay Black

    AOA# 20005252   D.O.B. 6/5/2008 (15 yrs) , Full Peruvian

    Sire:
     
       

    Dam:
    Whitepine Midnight's Isabella 
    | AOA# 849943  | Medium Fawn  |
    Isabella is one of our foundation females and for good reason! Like fine wine, she gets better with age. At 9 years old, her AFD is still only 22.2. The luster and fineness holds consistent throughout and her crimpy architecture speaks volumes. She is well balanced, deep in the chest with good bone density. To date, every cria Isabella produced has become a Blue ribbon winner or color champion! The pairing with our herdsire Taos is something special.

    At 5 years old, Isabella took 1st place and was the highest scoring Huacaya fawn at the 2008 AOBA Fiber to Fashion Conference as well as a first place ribbon (out of 72 entries!!). Then at 6 years old, Isabella brought home another 1st place in a spinning competition at MIAF. This is an amazing accomplishment for a producing dam at this age and we are very pleased to have her as part of our breeding program.

    What makes Isabella valuable is what she produces! She is the dam to multi color champion BMF Taos Zeppelin and multi blue ribbon winner Pearl Jam and multi blue ribbon winner Ozzy. Her latest cria, BMF Taos Roxanne is already showing that award winning silky fleece just like her full brothers. She is the only female Isabella has produced and will be royalty to our breeding program! Because of her genetic's, Isabella is capable of throwing a wide range of color from bay black to white and everything in between!

    Description

    Congratulations to Derwydd Alpacas for honoring Zeppelin with a place on their esteemed herd sire row.
    Zeppelin is no longer available for outside breedings at Delphi Alpacas.

    **Zeppelin is the 2013 AOBA National Black Male Fleece COLOR CHAMPION**
    This with his 4th fleece - the judges do enjoy rewarding older fleeces that retain superb qualities.

    Congratulations to Snowmass Alpacas on their purchased of one black Zeppelin daughter, plus 3 of our black females bred to Zeppelin; as well as another female bred to him from a client's farm. We'll be watching for his genetics under the Snowmass name.

    Zeppelin's first baby to ever show, fawn Zeppelin's Rainsong, purchased by The Alpaca Group, won a color championship at her first show!
    We are honored that Zeppelin's genetics have also been chosen by Pacific Crest Alpacas / Accoyo America.

    Shearing Weight
    2009: 6 pounds total = 7.2 pounds annualized.
    2010: 9.5 pounds total = 8.75 pounds annualized
    2011 = 10.1 pounds annualized
    2012 = 10.8 pounds annualized

    Zeppelin is throwing lots of black.
    From black based dams his early production totals were:
    From 8 TB dams he has thrown 3 TB, 1 DSG, 3 BB, and 1 DF cria.
    From 2 BB dams he threw 1 BB and 1 LF cria.
    From 4 Silver greys (black base) he threw 3 TB and 1 MB.

    But regardless of color - with Zeppelin it's ALL about the fleece quality -
    for example look at his daughter Tessla's fleece at lower right -
    she sold for $18,000 at auction, after being awarded CC, Best Brightness and Best Hand at the Alpacamania Fleece Show. Tessla's yearling histogram: AFD 12.7, SD 2.0, CV 15.6, %>30 0.0. (!!)

    My pick of our entire litter last year was his daughter Deltana - a fawn with the kind of fleece we dream of. Congratulations to Bari Padgett on her purchase of Deltana!

    Zeppelin's dad, Taos, a stunning Legacy son, had a 22.9 AFD at 7 yrs.
    Zeppelin's mom tested at 21.3 AFD at 7 years as well. Zeppelin also offers correct conformation, impressive presence, size, coverage, and substance of bone. His crimp, luster and dense lock structure are stunning - staple length is extreme. Zeppelin is full Peruvian and 3/8 Accoyo.
    We thank David and Julie Wroblewski for allowing us to add Zeppelin to Delphi Alpacas' herd sires.
