Ned Kelly

The success of any breeding program rests on the selection of only the highest quality males, more so today in a market downturn than ever before. You simple can’t afford to make a mistake. As they say, “the proof is in the pudding”!

Ned Kelly is the son of EPD tried and true Peruvian Hemingway G171, and dam Peruvian Benatton W827, both are direct imports.

Mike Safley has written recently that he thought Benatton to be the best dam ever imported to North America, for she won produce of dam at AOBA Nationals, and produced National blue ribbon winners when bred to three different sires.

At the age of eleven, Ned’s dam’s AFD was 23.3, SD 4.1, CV 17.6.

Also at age eleven, Ned’s sire’s AFD was 24.5, SD 3.9, CV 15.9 .
You can see from these microns why Hemmingway is the core of Snowmass Alpaca’s breeding program, and a main focus for us here at Bella Fina.

Magical Farms owns Mister Antonio, who is the full brother to Ned Kelly. Libby Foster bought a 1/2 share over ten years ago for $125,000. To date, Mister Antonio has produced 4 AOBA Color Champions, mostly in white classes.

As you can see from the photos, Ned is a very macho guy with a very correct frame, and a very dense, bright, fine fleece. Two of Ned’s first cria have taken blue ribbons at level 5 shows in white classes.
