A full
Bolivian son of the great Lion of Bolivia, Fiddlesticks
is thought by some to be one of Lion’s most ”look
alike” male progenies. He has the massive bone, facial
features, ears, volumes of fiber, light honey color and
classic bushy tail of his sire. In the 1990’s Lion
was one of two herdsires to have produced the high selling
male or female at open public auction, each year, for three
years straight (1996-1998). Fiddlesticks is the only Lion
son in the Southeast used as a herdsire! The Emperor of
Fiddlesticks' name is indicative of his personality. He
thinks he rules the kingdom and constantly shows off for
the ladies to the amusement of we humans. He is the epitome
of constant motion until approached, when he transforms
into a gentle giant. Easy to halter, lead and breed he can
be handled by our youngest daughter. Visitors consistently
refer to him as a “huggable bear.” Having come
to our place in early 2005 from the Finkels’ Tejas
Northwest Llama, in Washington State, he has settled his
first female in one breeding. Look at the fiber on his first
cria Allspice! She is still owned by Dorothy Finkel who
says she has “More fiber than any animal on our farm.
It is really fine, lovely to spin and takes dye rather well.”
Fiddlesticks has in his neck and face silver fiber under
the honey brown and it has not coarsened with age like many
males. The fiber is unlike many heavy wool llamas, soft
to the touch. It is so thick it literally covers his toes
in curls. Finally, he has a face that is adorable, including
great ears. We can’t wait to get some of his cria
on the ground.
Breeding Fee $ 750
