MAPACA/MABA Champ w/Champion Crias!

AABC Marauder

Hmmmm, so why did a huacaya breeder buy a Suri herdsire?? Look for yourself--he's an outstanding example of black Suri genetics!! I figured our Western State Suri breeders could use a magnificent male like this to bring color, conformation and LUSTER into their herds.

Dale Davis of Derwydd Alpacas agreed--and ended up with a half interest in this boy. We have owned, used, and appreciated him in our herds for 7 years, but now we agree it's time for Marauder to improve other herds!

When Kathy Stumpf of Prairie Lakes Alpacas purchased Maruader from Ameripaca she said, "When we saw this male, we knew we had to have him! We purchased him just before he entered the show ring at Mapaca. Solid, true blue-black with locking to rival any white, Marauder impressed the judges as well! Champion at 2010 Mapaca, the judges comments included that he was the 'most unique black male they had ever seen in any country!' They liked him so much that they kept him in the ring after naming the Judges Choice winner to specifically call out his attributes to the audience and stated later that they would have named him judges choice, but, due to the fact that he had been belly shorn, they had to give it to the other male as they could not adequately compare density..."

And check out his histogram---An AFD of 20.8 at 22 months of age in a BLACK SURI?!! WHOOOO-EEEE!!

Marauder's first crias were born on the East Coast--lustrous offspring with strong conformations, and BLACK! In 2012,Marauder's full sister, Ameripaca's Mona Lisa, took a blue ribbon in halter competition at the Nationals!

All in all, Marauder has 19 registered offspring. Between those 19 offspring I count 14 blue ribbons and 3 Reserve Championships (3 separate alpacas). Marauder produces spectacular offspring! Add to this the fact that he is a sweetheart--so easy to handle and a pleasure to have on the farm. He is equally well-behaved with weanlings and with herdsires.

Marauder is co-owned with Dale Davis of Derwydd Alpacas, and for the time being he is at Derwydd.
