Mercury (CSAF .38’s Mercury Rising) is a striking Medium Silver Grey son of the legendary Aussie .38 Special. He stands on a strong, well-balanced frame with excellent bone, presence, and a notably calm temperament that makes him very easy to handle. His fleece has been recognized for its staple length, density, and commercial value, earning him multiple championships before beginning his breeding career. Mercury’s EPDs reflect his strengths, with Top 10% rankings in Mean Staple Length (MSL) and solid fiber traits, making him a valuable option for breeders looking to combine color production with fleece performance. With grey depth on both sides of his pedigree, Mercury is a consistent producer of desirable grey and dark offspring. At High Desert Farmstead, Mercury has proven his impact across multiple cria: Fynn – light fawn male with strong crimp and balanced conformation. Edison – yearling with exceptional staple length, brightness, and density. Stryker – true black male showing promising fleece density and staple length. Annie (Andalusia) – rose grey daughter with beautiful phenotype and color expression. Mercury reliably passes on staple length, frame, and grey influence to his offspring, making him an asset to any breeding program focused on color and fleece quality. We currently have five females bred to Mercury for 2026 cria, underscoring our confidence in his genetics and production. With his proven offspring, versatile color outcomes, show-winning heritage, and calm personality, Mercury continues to stand out as a premier silver grey sire.

Brightness is an outstanding white foundation female with elite fleece traits and a pedigree that combines two of the most recognizable genetic powerhouses in the U.S. industry. She is the daughter of KCF Illuminati, who brings together Jeremiah’s Peruvian Jumanji / Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah lines and the proven Snowmass King of Angels. This heritage has given Brightness a genetic foundation that is both reliable and versatile, making her a valuable dam for producing the next generation of elite alpacas. Her 2024 EPDs speak for themselves: Top 1% SDAFD (exceptional uniformity of micron) Top 1% %M (very low medullation for higher usable fiber) Top 5% SF (fineness and handle) Top 5% MC (crimp character) Top 10% AFD (overall fineness) Brightness’s production record demonstrates her ability to pass these traits on with consistency. Her first cria, Fynn (light fawn, sired by Mercury), carries a fleece at one year of age with 18.8 micron AFD, 99.5% comfort factor, 120 mm staple length, and 3.88 lbs blanket weight. With his pedigree and fleece data, he is already under consideration as a future herdsire prospect. Brightness is Full Peruvian and combines the best of the Majestic and Snowmass lines with proven production results. With her elite EPD rankings, correct conformation, and ability to transmit top-tier traits to her offspring, she represents a cornerstone female for any herd focused on both elite white and the potential for color through strategic sire selection.

Description

Fynn is a striking light fawn yearling male with pedigree, fleece, and potential that make him a standout herdsire prospect. He is the son of Mercury (Medium Silver Grey, son of Aussie .38 Special, multi-champion with Top 10% EPDs) and Brightness (white, daughter of Illuminati, elite Top 1–5% EPD rankings). This pairing brings together consistent grey genetics with the proven white strength of our foundation female line. Fynn’s 2024 fleece test confirms his promise: AFD 18.8 microns with 18.2 spin fineness 99.5% comfort factor with only 0.5% fibers >30 microns 120 mm staple length with strong curvature (51.1 deg/mm) Low medullation (1.1%) Yearling fleece weight: 3.88 lbs These results show a fleece that is fine, uniform, bright, and long, making him attractive for both breeding and fleece competition. His conformation is balanced and correct, supporting his potential as a future stud male. As a Mercury son, Fynn inherits the proven ability to pass on color, while Brightness and Illuminati add prepotent white genetics with elite EPDs for uniformity, low medullation, and crimp style. This unique combination gives Fynn the versatility to fit into either a color breeding program or a fleece-focused program. Breeding Readiness: Expected mid-2026, with potential cria on the ground in 2027. At High Desert Farmstead, Fynn is being retained for evaluation alongside Percy and Edison. His pedigree, combined with his fleece performance, suggests he may rise as one of the next-generation herdsires to carry our program forward.
