Description

This is Peaches' daughter Ginger Snap, who is no longer with our farm. She was very loving, tame and buttery soft to rub. Her fiber itself may represent the best quality in our female herd!! She worth a little more work just to have that devine very dense, buttery soft fiber!! About half a week after Amy brought Ginger to the farm, we sheared her and found she does currently have a zinc deficiency. But her blanket is beautiful to look at and touch and for "fiber alone" she is dreamy gal. Bolero or Kahlua rebred to her 5 wk after Snow. Ginger's skin issue due to an inherited deficiency in zinc (from Peaches) wouldn't clear up... so she is no longer on our farm. We tried several remedies and zinc items, as well as Nucote.. none worked very long. She inherited this from her dam Peaches.
She was a Peruvian Accoyo Chimbote (& son Ulysses) and Auzengate lineage. And back into her grand-dams, she has beautiful yellow fawn "Pizazz" (from Peru) as a grt-grand-dam on her sires side of lineage (see certificate). AUZENGATE LEFT 7 sons, including GG Ulysses & Corazon!!

THIS IS BEST in Describing her lineage:
Her grandsire, Peruvian Accoyo Chimbote, was sired by the world famous AUZENGATE who was exported to Australia after being purchased for well over $100,000. AUZENGATE LEFT ONLY 7 SONS IN USA when exported to Australia! Chimbote was one of them, and we have 3 of his granddaughters thru his sons GG Ulysses & Corazon!! Ginger's sire...GG Ulysses'.

Chimbote was owned by an AOBA judge as well, and had everything you wish for in a herdsire. His incredible presence in the ring elicited raves from judges. A prolific breeder, Chimbote settled his females quickly and efficiently. Chimbote died in June of 2006 MAKING THESE GENETICS EVEN MORE VALUBLE (1 of 7 Auzengate sons in USA)!!
This is what Mountain Edge Alpacas, LLC said about their famous sire Chimbote:
Peruvian Accoyo Chimbote won a second place at his first AOBA National Convention in 1998, a first place at the Eastern Alpaca Jubilee in 1999 and a third place in an extremely large class of 23 alpacas at the National Convention in Louisville in 2000. He continued to impress judges with his magnificent conformation and super dense fleece. In every halter class he has entered, he has won either a first, second or third, despite the significant competition of the best animals from all over the United States (All-WHITE class). At the Louisville convention on June 4th (age 4), he sheared an incredible 12.65 pounds of fleece and that did not even include his legs. Chimbote's sire was Auzengate, the FIRST pick of 550 alpacas in the 1995 Peruvian importation. Best of all, 70% of Chimbote's crias have been female.

Her half sister Lazy Susan has fantastic dense,long staple length fiber. Ginger Snap has a zinc-related deficiency. Her grand-dam, Mountain Edge's Nieve, was a sister to Mountain Edge RAYO.
