HMFS Declaration by Independence "Decker"

Indi is now at our farm for the 2024 spring breeding season! Now is your time to take advantage of adding his spectacular genetics to your herd!! Give us a call to schedule your breeding. His stud fee includes 60 days board and ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy for your female. We can discuss alternate pricing for drive-by breedings!! **PROUDLY CO-OWNED WITH HEART & SOUL ALPACAS** We are very excited to announce our partnership with Heart and Soul Alpacas, as we team up with them to co-own Indi! He is a wonderful herd sire and is producing absolutely beautiful offspring with luster to burn! He is also throwing density, lock structure and great body conformation. After the birth of his male cria on our farm in 2022, we knew Indi was something special! Check out our boy Declaration by Independence, "Decker," for just a sample of what Indi can produce!! Shortly after Decker was born, Indi was awarded a Reserve Championship for his fleece...at 6 years old!!! This is what we strive for in our breeding program...long lasting positive fleece traits. We are proud to be bringing Indi on board at Honey Maple Farms in 2023! With the recent passing of Maxx Macgyver, Indi has some BIG shoes to fill in our breeding barn! We are looking forward to his contributions to our herd!! ________________________________________________________________ **AS DESCRIBED BY HEART AND SOUL ALPACAS** This young male has a lot going for him! He is a Judges Choice winner at one of the most prestigious shows in the country, The Suri Network and boasts 9 Championships and 26 blues, quite impressive! His most recent win was taking the national Reserve Championship at 6 years old!! We bred Indi's Dam to Aero Ranch's Auguste Piccard, one of the Last Inca sons still breeding, hoping to get exactly what we got... Indi! His luster is off the charts, his hand amazing, and his regrowth remarkable. We cannot say enough about this future herdsire. He has a remarkably soft handle! And even in the dustiness of late summer, he was still lustrous with amazing lock structure! He makes a great impression!
