Meet SPF Sugar Baby, our first baby this fall! Sugar Baby arrived on September 12. She's a beautiful medium fawn girl out of our own Baby Ruth and Accoyo America Archimedes. Sugar has mom's petite and correct conformation and fine fleece along with dad's fawn and ultra-crimpy fleece -- one of the crimpiest we've produced!

Our new girl has MA Black Cloud Boy, Merrill Lynch, Pperuvian Camilio and Accoyo Caligula in her background. Archimedes is a multiple Champion, so watch for Sugar in the show ring next year!

SPF Ines (on the right) arrived just two days after Sugar. You should have seen me going crazy! Ines is the second girl from our own Wings of the Storm, sired by our newest boy Rahoul. She shows mom's fine fleece and robust conformation with dad's crimp and density. Way to go, Stormy and Rahoul! Ines carries Royal Fawn bloodlines from dad, and Peruvian Challenger and Cordero genetics from mom. This beautiful girl is Rahoul's second daughter out of two breedings for us!

The little boy next to Ines is SPF Weapon of Choice. Weapon arrived on September 24, and is our first cria from the new girl on the farm, Calamity Jane (CJ). Weapon is a feisty one, just like mom, and he also has her lovely maroon color. He was sired by A Paca Fun's Memphis and displays dad's crimp and density. "Weappy" carries Royal Reggae, 5Peruvian Camelot, Pperuvian Caligula, and PPPeruvian King bloodlines.

SPF My Gal Sal arrived the week after Ines, on September 20. Sal is the first cria out of our own SPF Tiny Bubbles, and our third female cria sired by Rahoul. She carries mom's beige coloring and smooth handle with dad's crimp. Sal was (and still is) the biggest fall cria -- she's following in mom's tall and robust footsteps. Royal Fawn, 6Peruvian Accoyo Titan, and Peruvian Challenger bloodlines combine to make Sal an outstanding girl.

SPF Harrigan arrived the week after Weapon. Harry is our own My Fickle Cowgirl's second son. He was sired by Caligula's Accoyo Atlantis and carries dad's crimpy fleece with mom's fineness and brightness. DPA Quetzal, PPPeruvian King, and Pperuvian Accoyo Caligula are only a few of the famous names in Harry's background.

Last but not least, we received a final blessing in the form of SPF Come On Eileen. Another girl! Eileen is the second girl from our own T for Texas, and the fourth girl (from four breedings) out of our now beloved Rahoul. She has mom's color and density with dad's crimp style and handle. Eileen's bloodlines include DPA Quetzal and Royal Fawn.

Nice going everybody!

Ladies, say hello to Maple Brook Rahoul, our newest herdsire! Rahoul arrived on the farm about eighteen months ago, and has already given us four crimpy girls out of four breedings! Rahoul -- a Blue Ribbon son of the LEGENDARY Royal Fawn -- brings new elite blood lines to the Shepherd's Purse breeding program.

His conformation is perfect, his fleece is dense and has incredible fineness with medium amplitude and high frequency crimp. Among his awards, Rahoul took 1st place in fleece at the VAOBA Expo, 2007. Rahoul began his breeding career in 2008 and has 9 cria on the ground, ranging from white to DRG! He settled four females here so far, and is available for outside breedings (if you're looking to get a girl).

Shiloh, a Rahoul daughter, took a 2nd Place at the 2010 Carolina Alpaca Celebration and a 2nd at the Palmetto Classic.
