    • Funky Music is a finer-boned finer-fleeced alpaca with fantastic early statistics as displayed further down the page. It is speculated that finer alpacas will utimately produce superior fleeces, tending towards their vicuna heritage and similar to the merino vs other sheep breeds. Funky makes a very good argument for that case.

    Bloodline

    His sire is Stoney Meadows Genesis, a multiple Supreme Champion and in my opinion a very under-rated sire in his own right. His own sire is National Supreme Champion Homestead Farm Apollo so it is a very impressive male lineage.

    His dam, Rustic Dawn Elsa, is a daughter of Supreme Fleece Champion Rustic Dawn Columbus. Funky is Elsa's first cria while her second is the multiple Supreme Champion Rustic Dawn Sven, one of the very best best we have produced. Further her full-sister Rustic Dawn Eponine has also produced 2 awesome cria in Rustic Dawn Fantine and Rustic Dawn Marius. It is a highly productive line.

    Showing

    Funky is very lightly shown, mostly due to his lighter physique putting him behind the eight-ball in the show ring despite his superior fleece. I can only recall 3 times shown but as an intermediate he did win Champion Intermediate Male against very strong opposition including the National Class Champion.

    • Fleece

  • 1st Fleece: 14.6m 3.4sd 100%cf 45.9crv (AAFT)
  • 2nd Fleece: 14.6m 3.3sd 100%cf 50.7crv (AAFT)
  • 3rd Fleece: 16.2m 3.5sd 100%cf 50.5crv (AAFT)
  • 4th Fleece: 21.7m 4.4sd 95.7%cf 37.0crv (AAFT)
  • 5th Fleece: 23.4m 4.8sd 93.9%cf 36.8crv (AAFT)

    • Funky's early fleece statistics are what sets him aside and worthy of his stud male status. Unfortunately these stats have not held up at our new property with it's abundent feed, and hence the opportunity for purchase him at a very reasonable price. He will still produce great cria and he has the family genetics to greatly improve overall herd quality. He is a half brother to RD Sven who is now co-owned with Shamarra Alpacas.

    Progeny

    Funky has sired one cria who even at this very early stage looks to have outstanding fleece qualities.
