Thinking back over all of the past years, and remembering all of the Herd Sires and youngster males that we have been fortunate to
have here at our ranch -  Several truly stand out and we will remember forever..

Starting out in the early 90's, our first male was a 6 month old named DOGWOOD'S HALSTON.

Halston was our very first llama and we loved his color  beautiful coat
and he sired our first babies at KRM Farm.

Our 2nd male, we took a little more time deciding on what kind of a male we wanted, and Lillian handpicked this boy.
PPR BULLY HILL, a light wool brown male came to us as another youngster of 6 months old around 1996.

He turned out to be very good in the show ring and as a stud, fathering some of KRM's 1st female offspring,
KRM Pennies from Heaven &  KRM Miss Terrific.
After a few years, and our decision to concentrate on Peruvians, Bully moved on to another farm.

And then we went out and found our first "Peruvian" Herd Sire.
In 1998 or 1999, Lil and I flew up to Wisconsin late in December to look at several young male possibilities.

And we picked out our new Peruvian Sire - CCC PERUVIAN BRUNATE, but had to wait several months before we were able to bring him home to Georgia.
At barely 17 months old we picked up Brunate' at the Celebrity Sale,
Very soon after coming to Georgia,  Brunate' went to his first show & grabbed  First Place in heavy wool category, 
and then began breeding at the ripe old age of 18 months.
He was a success, and he was KRM's premier herd sire for a bunch of years..

And at that Celebrity Sale that we picked up PERUVIAN BRUNATE', We also purchased & brought home a new Female,, Peruvian Profitina, 
and her one month old blonde cria, PERUVIAN PROFITEER.
As he turned adult Profiteer  turned into a very tall ( 48" @ withers), gray and blonde incredible male.

PROFITEER was to go on to be one of the best who ever made Kent Rock Meadows his home.

His show record was impeccable, his disposition was all anyone could ask for, and he turned out incredible babies.
Unfortunately after seven years, Profiteer became sick, lingered on for many months, 
and finally passed on at the ripe old of 8 years old.
Profiteer now lays in his own pasture under the Chinaberry tree that he always loved.

One day in 2002, looking through the "Llama Banner", I saw a picture of a young male, standing proud..  
Looking like he was ready to take anything on. 
That picture and the llama's name was indelibly stuck in my head. 
Skip a few months later and Lil and I were negotiating with Mr. Wayne Rankin, whose Peruvian herd is one of the very best. 
And the name - SUTI came up. That was the name!!!  AND I remembered the picture!!!!  
We agreed that he was to become one of Peruvian Herd Sires
And some months later we were traveling out West to pick SUTI up and the rest is history.

In many of the Llama Banners that we read over and over, a beautiful totally impressive Peruvian was constantly advertised,
THE PERUVIAN COMMODORE.

After importation from Peru, He made his home in Oregon on the Iris Christ Ranch Llama Woods Ranch. Later he was sold to DOC Llamas, 
and again was sold to Feathers & Friends Farm.
And I always daydreamed about one day having him here. 
And then in 2003, he was up for sale again, and this time partnering with Keith & Patti Wattigney,
we bought him and he came to live at Kent Rock Meadows. I could have quit right then and been totally satisfied to know that
THE PERUVIAN COMMODORE was here.
At night I would go out to his pasture and put my arm around his massive neck and head and we would walk together and watch the sun set.

THE COMMODORE was the male!

When The Commodore came to Kent Rock Meadows, he was sort of an old man, and unfortunately we never got any youngsters from him, BUT it didn't matter.
The Commodore impressed me every day I saw him in the pasture. 
And everyone who came to our farm knew this was an impressive male. 
He passed on in January of 2006 of old age, and was buried next to Profiteer under the Chinaberry trees.
 

At some point we strayed a little,  getting into Argentine males, but very soon returned to strictly Peruvians.
However, Suri's began to cross our minds, and we began a determined search to find that one Suri Peruvian Sire, that would fit in.

And we did just that..  Driving up to Michigan on a very cold January day in 2007, we visited Star Llamas and found "The Male"..

Actually STAR BRAIDED EMPEROR found us. We were looking at another male, and
The Emperor kept coming back over and over to look us over and make sure we saw him.
We did, and The Emperor very soon moved to Kent Rock Meadows.

His show record was unbelievable, taking Grand Champion Suri Male at all of his showings.

Ending up our parade of KRM Herd Sires,,
Not long after Star Braided Emperor became one of our premier boys, we decided to add one of The Emperor's friends from Star Llamas.

STAR POINT BLANK rounded out our Sires, bringing the Keno line to our ranch. 
Star Point Blank, is a richly colored red, brown and white Grand Champion Suri male .

POINT BLANK  is now the only male that remains here at our ranch .

Yes, we have had other males that we will never forget as well, , such as:
