Description

One of Debbie’s mantras is not giving up on her passions. This applies equally to poorly alpacas and securing one of, if not the finest alpaca we have ever seen. His name is Beck Brow Glory Daze and since Monday 17 July 2023 he stands at stud with us at Barnacre Alpacas 🎉
In Barbara’s own words:
“Beck Brow Glory Daze represents many years of selective breeding for exceptional fleece and conformational traits. He is both genetically and phenotypically outstanding. Glory Daze stands on an outstanding frame, looking very much the Macho in his group, much like his sire. Also inherited from his sire, is his calm temperament making him a joy to handle. This male also exhibits exquisite fleece qualities. Beautifully soft handling, extremely dense, fine and very well organised. Add to that great fleece length, coverage and excellent uniformity of micron and you can understand why we rate this male very highly.”
We 100% agree!
Debbie has admired Glory Daze since seeing him as a junior and since then tried to persuade Barbara to let him come and live at Barnacre. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again!

Genetics – Are you ready?…his sire Bozedown Blaze of Glory was National White Male Champion in 2018 and a multiple Supreme Champion. His great grandsire, Jolimont Rodrigo 2 of Bozedown is renowned for longevity of fleece fineness. His dam is from one of Beck Brow’s strongest female lines, Bedazzle is a multi-champion sired by the renowned Beck Brow Explorer and her grand sire is Cambridge Navigator of ACC, both multiple Supreme Champions. You can then add in to the mix more of our favourite males like EP Cambridge Peruvian Spartacus and Accoyo Remarque.

Fleece – Wow. At 4 years of age he is 17.4 microns with a 100% comfort factor. The handle, character, density and lack of guard hair are all incredible. A double National Champion of Champion fleece record is a pretty good endorsement we feel. His six point fleece samples at the Champion of Champions were all within a micron.

Personality – Probably heavily influenced by his sire, Glory Daze is a pleasure to handle, a good job given his size and latent power!

Colour – VERY white.

Progeny – Just 8 cria were born and registered in 2022 including 3 at Beck Brow and one here, Barnacre Vera who went on to win Supreme Champion at the 2023 Westmorland County Show. Beck Brow Centre Stage is s triple Supreme Champion. We’re very pleased with Barnacre Vera, her fleece is dense, fine and well organised. Only another 8 cria were registered to him in 2023.
