If you are interested in Centaur, please contact Kit Hower at Blankstone Alpaca Farm. Lingering Fineness and Density in Grey!! They have arrived! Centaur's first class of crias have hit the ground and we are extremely pleased. Not only do they all carry an amazingly fine fleece, but they all have very square, solid conformation and beautiful, uniform heads and complete coverage. We did not breed him to any grey females in 2009 & 2010, but he has produced 8 greys so far. He produced black and grey crias 100% of the time when bred to black or grey dams, and 65% of the time when bred to other colors . . . including white! Centaur exhibits the rare grey combination of superb fineness and density and he carries a very consistent, high-amplitude crimp style throughout his uniform grey blanket. His bone structure is very dense and he carries his correct frame very proudly. Our initial suspicions of his quality were confirmed when he took a Blue Ribbon in his very first show appearance in a large class of juvenile grey males at the '08 Carolina Alpaca Celebration. Judge Time Lavan stated there that Centuar would go far if he maintained his fineness as he grew. Update: He has! In his first show appearance as a yearling, Centaur earned another Blue Ribbon from judge Peter Kennedy at the Empire Extravaganza '08. In his 2008 show finale, Centaur clinched the Reserve Champion Banner under judge Tim Lavan who praised his fineness, density and superior physical development. We continue to enter Centaur's fleece in spin-off competitions where he consistently takes 1st and 2nd place, even in the large shows of AOBA and MAPACA. You know you have a great grey fleece when the spin off judge comments "Wow!" for fineness and "Wow Wow Wow!!" for handle! Centaur's 2011 Norm Evans' fiber biopsy results have confirmed what we have felt and seen all along . . . superior density, top-level gland presence, high S/P ratio and lack of secondary medulated fibers. He is certainly on track to follow in his famous sires footsteps by maintaining fineness throughout his adult breeding career!

Shenandoah Lexi or "Lexi" as we call her is our first cria born on the farm out of our foundation female Layla. Lexi's sire is the well known and respected herdsire - A.W. Magic - of Angel Wood Farms. A "true black" she has great conformation and fleece and in her first show - the very prestigious 2011 MAPACA - she took a 2nd place in a very competitive class and against several larger farms. Lexi, like Annie, has also won multiple showmanship ribbons at the MAPACA Show and is very easy to handle. Her heritage is 7/16 Peruvian, 5/16 Chilean, and 1/4 Bolivian bringing together the best traits of each.

Description

Just like her mother she has a great disposition and had dense, fine fleece. 2015 was her first eligibility at a show - MAPACA 2015 - and we were hoping for great things. As part of her perfect conformation, she has straight legs, beautiful fleece, density, conformation, crimp, and handle, and everyone comments on how great she looks. UPDATE - FROM MAPACA 2015 WHERE SOPHIA TOOK THE BLUE RIBBON FIRST PLACE IN A VERY LARGE CLASS WITH 17 ENTRIES. Everyone said how nice she was, and this show proved them to be correct. Since MAPACA is one of our premier Alpaca shows so it doesn't get much better than this. Come put your hands on her!
