Update: Blackbeard won the Reserve Black Male Championships at the 2022 AOA National Show (Out of 36 black males) and the 2022 MAPACA Jubilee at almost 10 years old! Amanda Vanderbusch's comments were , "very very impressive", this is what happens when they are put together corrrectly - they hold up over time", and much more. Blackbeard is stamping his powerful frame on all of his offspring which is creating a powerhouse of breeding alpacas!
Blackbeard named 2019 Futurity Herdsire of the year in Small Farm division!
I could talk about this gorgeous boy forever! Blackbeard has a simply gorgeous head, an incredibly fine, dense fleece with amazing architecture, and talk about coverage everywhere, Wow! Add all that to a male with huge bone and a strong frame and you have yourself a truly unique true black herdsire. He also has a gentle personality as he is extremely easy to handle and work with even since he has been breeding. Blackbeard is passing on these traits to his offspring in a very consistent manner when paired with any female so far. A good friend referred to him as an "Impact Male" due to him putting his stamp on all of his cria.
Blackbeard's offspring are on the ground, hitting the shows and collecting banners across the country! Check out some of his amazing offspring on my site and add some of his a babies to your herd. With 106 registered offspring, it is hard to find any of them for sale due to the desirability of his genetics!
This is the kind of male that I have dreamed about having in my herd and I feel extremely fortunate and blessed that God sent him my way when he did as he is one crazy amazing boy!
