For Sale - 'Otto' ... Ottoman

With ten stud males on our farm we have decided to sell Otto. An upstanding certified male (IAR: 49001, born January 2002) with progeny on the ground this guy is well established. His fleece remans dense, bright and crimpy. He remains content to be handled and lives, calm and happy, with the other stud males. Good coverage and with a uniform solid white fleece Otto's progeny have all been solid coloured, despite, on occasion, the mum's multi-fleece colouring - in several cases leaving the darker colour (solid) of the mother.

In the Show ring Otto, despite a little stage fright, was second in the 2002 Canterbury Junior Male class, and first as an Intermediate Male at the Malvern A&P. His second fleece, in 2004, was 1st in class at the Auckland Royal Easter, 1st at the AANZ National Show 2004, 1st at the Manawatu A&P and overall Champion Huacaya fleece at the Malvern A&P. But his biggest success was Reserve Senior Huacaya at the AANZ National Show 2004 - plenty of 'paca in that line-up for Otto to have shown his quality!

A fun lover he is very comfortable with us humans as he does like a good neck tickle ... and a hand-full of nuts! Be warned you will love his mannerisms! Otto continues to work on our farm.
