Marius Supreme

Rustic Dawn Marius has won SUPREME CHAMPION at the South Otago A&P, our last show for the season.

This is the second SUPREME for Marius this season after previous success at SI Colourbration earlier in the season. We look forward to him now commencing stud duties and producing cria with his wonderful fleece style.

We also had RD Dexter D in the Supreme line-up after taking out Intermediate Champion with RD Khonshu almost making it a clean sweep but having to settle for Reserve Champion Junior.

RD Buster Scruggs

While RD Sven was doing what he does best - winning Supremes - this guy was in the background going about his business - winning championships. Firstly as champion junior male at Winchester before stepping up an age group and taking out champion intermediate male at Mackenzie.

These are the only 2 shows he has attended and therefore remains unbeaten in his highly competitive white class. Without RD Sven in the field he may well hold a Supreme or 2.

His sire is RD Yahudi, our son of Algoma Chaska and Eskdale Izarra who just keeps throwing out champs. His dam is Rustic Dawn White Gold, a daughter of the very well performed and well related Awatere Gold Dust, who is developing her own dynasty here at Rustic Dawn.

Alaska Supreme

Welcome to the latest addition to our ranks of SUPREME CHAMPION alpacas - Rustic Dawn Alaska. Scoring a massive 88.5pts with her intermediate fleece against a large field of almost 70 entries she is a deserving champion.

If ever we were to shear an alpaca twice in a year, she is the most likely candidate. She produces a massive fleece yet still retains quality fineness and style. With her massive density comes a rolling skin which may produce its own issues - something to be aware of if this is the direction we continue to head.

Her sire is BE Bronson and she is his second SUPREME along with RD Sven. Her dam is Awatere Juneau a broad ribbon female and closely related to some top alpacas.

Sven Supreme

RD Sven has completed a perfect Autumn Show season winning Supreme at both shows he competed at - Winchester and Mackenzie. His short (3rd) fleece has been outstanding with an elite fleece style. Combined with his fineness and density he is a superb fleece producing alpaca that will undoubtably be at the leading edge of the future of NZ alpaca breeding. Next stop - Nationals!

RD Sven will begin stud duties at the end of the year and he has a significant lineup of our top quality females awaiting his debut breeding season!

Introducing Rustic Dawn Fabio

His sire is RD Iolaus, his dam is RD L'Amour. This is a very special cria as it is the first of the dam and also from the first crop of the sire, both of whom have just turned 6 years old. Needless to say there were question marks on the fertility of both. But RD Iolaus is a now a working male with a good strike rate and there is no reason to believe RD L'Amour won't continue either. RD Fabio certainly looks to be worth the wait - perhaps one of our best!

And now for something completely different!

Introducing Rustic Dawn Lord Vader

His Sire is Black Jack BT Lord Shachor, his dam is Pejo Keiko. We recently purchased P. Keiko based on her fleece statistics and our desire to add some black into our breeding program. We have her tagged to match up with RD Iolaus. In the meantime she has produced this little fella, a fine blue black, and it is with interest we shall see how he grows out.

Cria #8

Introducing Rustic Dawn Athena.

Her sire is Rustic Dawn Iolaus, her dam is Honeyfields Persephone. Another matchup of a SUPREME CHAMPION sire over a broad ribbon winning dam. This is Persephone's 2nd cria with her first (RD Be Frank) winning a broad ribbon in the fleece tent.

Finally another female to stop the run of males! Athena is a gorgeous looking female alpaca and I would say at this very early stage potentially one of our best.
