Giacomo was born on Silvercloud Farm with an extraordinary case of "soft rolling skin"! This is a rare occurrence in crias and is a precursor to extreme density of the fleece due to a high frequency of hair follicles per inch. That is certainly the case here. Giacomo's fleece is the densest on our farm and is truly the proverbial "Berber Carpet", yet with a buttery-soft hand. Fleece opens "like a book".
Giacomo's 1st cria, Silvercloud Farm's Katrina's Hope sold at The Eastern Extreme Auction to Magical Farms. His crias to date have gorgeous, popcorny fleeces. Please come see us at the Spring 2007 shows to see Giacomo's cria: Silvercloud Farm's Twinkle, Silvercloud Farm's Ouzo, Silvercloud Farm's Butterfinger and Celestine Ridge's Antoinette who took Reserve Light Female Color Champion 2007 Carolina Alpaca Celebration 2007.
Giacomo is the son of the late great Peruvian Dakotia, a son of the legendary Bueno, from Magical Farms who tragically passed away in the 2003 Land O’ Lakes feed poisoning incident. We are proud to offer these rare genetics for sire. His Dam, MFI Her Majesty, is part of our foundation herd and is a granddaughter of another late, great alpaca CALIGULA. Bueno + Caligula, that is some pedigree.
Giacomo is our "secret weapon" but the secret is getting out and he has become a very popular stud with our customers that have gotten a look at his crias. If you looking for a special male to add density without compromising fineness with world class bloodlines, book your breeding to Giacomo at Silvercloud Farm!
