Raymundo was one of our primary herdsires for many reasons. He had what it took to add quality to our herd. His color was one of his most attractive features. His fleece had a very distinctive crimp style and great density often seen in alpacas of his color. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of crias he has produced for us over the years. He has allowed mom's color to pass and we have color from white to MG with several grays. He was exactly what we look for when selecting males for our breeding program in terms of fleece quality, presence, and overall conformation.
Raymundo's sire was Antonio, often referred to "Taft’s Antonio" is an amazing true black herd sire that has made his mark on the AOA breeding program. Producing a number of incredible offspring, including our Raymundo.
You can see the use of past tense. We lost Raymundo this year and his presence is sorely missed. He takes a piece of our heart with him.
