Narrative
They took this beautiful maroon color off of the Alpaca Color Chart but not away from CMac No matter what color you call him, CMac is a beauty - He stands tall and the “girls” love him. Sometimes called pretty, sometimes simply called a stud…Ameripaca’s Big Mac has reason to be proud of his son. Collaborator began his show career at a time when most are ending their time in the ring. What was sometimes referred to as the twilight show tour, began as a lark, but ended with “The Man” stepping out! His attention did wander to the fairer sex on more than one occasion; however, when it got down to performing, he was up to the task. CMac is now settled into his life on the farm, adored by all the female alpacas and often used to stir up their passions!
CMac has performed best at his most important task…passing along championship characteristics to his offspring. His sons, WKF Nighthawk and WKF MacGyver’s Mark, are winners in the show ring and in fleece competition. Other “CMac creations” will soon join these two to further validate his job performance.
CMac is open for outside breedings on the grounds of Walnut Knoll Farm. Come give him a look, see his offspring still on the farm, and book a breeding to this fine fella’.
Breeding Fee: $1,400 (Standard Breeding Program)
