R.I.P. Losing Megabuck was like losing a best friend. He had the energy and spirit of 10 alpacas yet always behaved like a gentleman for me. His lines will continue on our farm through his descendants.
When Megabuck was used for breeding or behavior checks, his orgling would cause ALL the females in the pasture, irregardless of pregnancy status, to run up and gather around. They knew he was special too! As the oldest male he was alpha, but 95% of his life he was kept in the male herd.

R.I.P. Losing Megabuck was like losing a best friend. He had the energy and spirit of 10 alpacas yet always behaved like a gentleman for me. His lines will continue on our farm through his descendants.
When Megabuck was used for breeding or behavior checks, his orgling would cause ALL the females in the pasture, irregardless of pregnancy status, to run up and gather around. They knew he was special too! As the oldest male he was alpha, but 95% of his life he was kept in the male herd.
He was our veterinarian's favorite alpaca for his spirit, disposition / libido, very correct and robust conformation and silky six inch long crimpy, drapey true black non-fading fleece.
**********************************************************************************************************************
If you have a female that needs bone and substance, uniformity and less guard hair, back and legs straightened, and depth of color infused...here's your stud!!!
We're breeding his daughters to our Snowmass RRoyal Fox and getting beautiful offspring.
Excellent breeder! Customers come back to do repeat breedings to Megabuck.
Throws gray and lots of solid, non-fading, BRIGHT and SILKY solid true blacks.
Many award-winning crias and grand-crias.
Champion paternal brother Constantino!
Thanks to his two remarkable parents, Locota and Jacira, Megabuck very consistently produces perfectly correct leg structure and movement, substance (robust, heavy bone and muscle and loads of fleece), desirable fleece traits (esp. crimpy primary fibers / lack of guard hair, luster, staple length, HANDLE!), wonderful spirited energy (vigor), and a respectful disposition in his crias. All have outstanding luster and silkiness, above average density, fineness, aligned crimp, long staple, very heavy bone and correct conformation and phenotype. Some of Megabuck's cria's fleeces are finer than their dams!
He passes on his wonderful personality and vigor; very heavy bone and muscle; lg. testicles; wide, even leg spacing; correct bite, conformation (esp. legs!) & movement; coverage; crimp; staple length; density; bundles; silky handle; high luster; uniformity; crimpy primaries and fineness..low 20s AFDs and SDs in the 4s!
Dam:
Cocoa Truffle
| 30434103 | True Black |
3/4 Chilean, 1/8 Peruvian, 1/8 Other/Unknown - 6/12: Cocoa's first cria is a very dark DSG male sired by our award-winning, TB, full Peruvian, Megabuck Mink; textbook birth; 17 pounds; 1/2 lb per day gain; IgG 1363 @ 36 hrs.; sound and healthy; Fantastic structure and more energy and libido than he knows what to do with and a dense, crimpy, silky fleece. Cocoa is being a fantastic mom. I'll post another cria photo as soon as it's available.
Cocoa's lineage has strong productivity and many award winners. You'll find the names Patagonia's Compadre/Caballero Adante, Michelangelo(TB)/P. Guellermo in her lineage as well as beautiful silver dams.
Cocoa is very people friendly, healthy, anatomically and structurally correct with an attractive phenotype, balanced proportions, heavy bone, a tall frame (37"), correct movement and bite. She is very easy to manage, very alert and very funny girl with a zest for life! Her fleece has very good density, luster, handle and crimp with no prominent guard hair in her blanket.

Details
Sire of Dixie, Starry, Betsy Ross and Mateo.
Very sadly, a couple years ago Dusty got overheated (only 70 with
strong sunshine and plenty of shade) the day before shearing. He sired one cria shortly thereafter and none since, so he's now for sale as a pet. We really need to think about breeding alpacas with too much density.
Like his TB sire, Megabuck Mink in his first 4 years, Dusty's entire fleece shows no visible strong guard hairs, is silky-soft and fine, very long stapled and very bright with very good density; medium amplitude and frequency crimp; very abundant fiber coverage all the way around and down his perfect legs! We sheared Dusty's black cria tips at one month of age to reveal his silver dust...no spots! His fleece is becoming more dusted with silver as he matures. Dusty's parents have produced 4 lb. annual blankets (1sts only) and Dusty's 08 fleece is going to be huge!
We still can't find a conformational fault on this male, teeth to toenails as the judge confirmed! Following in his parents footsteps, Dusty is robust and very healthy with large testicles, heavy bone and musculature, proportions and bite.
Dusty is one of the smartest and easiest alpacas I know with a wonderfully calm and trusting dispostion. As a young cria, he let me run my hand down his leg without even a flinch.His solid pedigree is full of successful bloodlines in the showrings and the breeding pastures: Patagonia's Compadre/Caballero Adante, Michelangelo/P. Guellermo, 4Peruvian Lanark's Locota (see sold listings)/Megabuck Mink; champion uncle Constantino; and three gorgeous, successful and silver granddams: C&S Cookee, Silver Empress and 6Peruvian Dona Jacira (see sold listing).
