Stud Males
Each of the working males housed in my program have been selected for their positive qualities in conformation, fleece production, and tractability of temperament. Evidence based practices are used to inform breeding decisions, and to assess each male's production qualities in both the breeding and fibre sheds. Temperament is an important quality for the program, and an emphasis is placed on males being easy to house and handle. You will find the complete histogram history, progeny records, show records, and any available EPD data on each male's page, in addition to their public availability for hire.

Please contact us if you are interested in adding any of these males genetics into your program.
Up and Coming Males
Males who have promising futures, and are being put through their paces until they earn their spot in the breeding shed. Until they're proven, these boys are not yet available for stud, but if you would like to be notified of their availability for stud or purchase, please let me know!
Companions & Sale Animals
It is estimated that only 1% of the males in a given breeding program meet the criteria to become stud males. This does not, however, negate their value in the fibre shed. All alpacas, breeding and non-breeding, produce fibre that can be used in a variety of ways, and can bring value to the producer. Furthermore, many animals additionally present with aptitudes that also make them valuable candidates for agritourism programs, which may include alpaca treks, light packing; or even for therapeutic activities. Those males who are housed in the program who may not fit into our personal goals for our program to be retained as breeding stock for ourselves (but may suit another program's individual goals), and/pr may fit a niche in another area are welcomed as part of the FTP family for their own unique qualities; and may also be offered available for purchase to the right home.
