This boy deserves a special post because we love him so much 🫶🏼 Captain Phinneus, my Phinny boy. He was highly anticipated out of the farm’s very first cria of our own, P Pandora’s Box, and E Pluribus Unum (“Money”) pairing. And boy he did not disappoint. Not only did his fleece explode into extreme fineness and brilliant brightness as a juvie that went on to banner at the 2023 AOA National Show. His personality is also one to gravitate to on the farm, in the pasture, on the halter, and in the show ring. Referred to as a “show pony” by a judge, I couldn’t agree more.
At the Railsplitter and National Show this year, I got to show Phinn for the first time on my own. And it makes me wish that I had been able to show him this whole time! He walks like a dream, and is so respectful and calm. I also had the pleasure of seeing his first cria on the ground, HFAR Amber Spice, who expresses many of her sire’s traits in fineness, head style, and compact frame. Phinn closed out his time at the AOA National Show competing in an elite group in the Fawn Male Color Championship, and I could not be more proud of him!
On that note, my boy’s all grown up and open for breedings for 2026. Looking for a herdsire with an elite pedigree (Jeremiah, Jericho, Jumanji, CandyMan just to name a few) paired with fineness, uniformity, a desirable phenotype, AND a sweet disposition as a cherry on top? Phinn’s your man! Reach out to us on Facebook or Openherd to inquire about Captain Phinneus and coordinate breedings. He is currently being held by Brian Houchin of Houchin Family Alpacas.
