Seriously Silver is packing on gorgeous silky dense solid silver fiber. We call him Spot (spot below nostril) to simplify things here. He has huge bone like both parents. His dam is a Legend's Peruvian Revelation of KPR daughter with Accoyo Goldsmith and Accoyo Felix heading up her maternal side. Spot's sire is our Sierra's Seismic who when shown took many close 2nds to Jacob Black. They share about 3/4 of the same ancestry. Seismic has very strong black genetics and grey with Our Black Jag, Black Mesquite, CPeruvian Black Knight, CPeruvian Silvio, Matado, and then some Winchester to throw some fawn in the mix. Spot has the strong black making genetics from his sire. However, his 4 offspring so far are 2 silver's from silver dams, BB from a mrg and TB from a DF. I have bred him to 3 girls for '25 cria. I couldn't use him last year as I had to get another male started. He is related to many of my darks. This guy is at his prime and still has gorgeous fleece-just sent in his 6th fleece for yarn that was just under 4 lbs that was heavily skirted so that I'd have enough for roving too. He is easy to handle on lead. He needs to be used more to make great black and greys with gorgeous crimp, density and fineness. Sorry, I have not had time to get fleece data since 2019 but I can send samples to prospective owners-I also have yarn you can ogle over if you come to see him in person! Self-employed with two businesses and 40 plus alpacas.... I'm trying to lessen some labor by decreasing both males and females. That 2019 National Show 2nd place was behind Karen Ball's boy-she won in all the grey classes! The 2020 National show was the same boy in 1st and modern grey in 2nd so his 3rd would have been another 2nd if huge class was split like other shows.

Description

This is a hard one to sell since she embodies "foundation female". Such a solid girl on many fronts. Cahlua's parents both possess fine fleeces with extremely low guard hairs. Her sire Royal Adonis (Black) is extremely dense and was 26.7 micron at 8 yrs and a heavy breeder while her dam's lines wonderful density tends to show up more in their yearling year. Shine inherited from both sides along with great architecture of high amp/med-high frequency crimp. Very square conformation. Since she place 2nd in 4 shows that were highly competitive as a juvey I expect her to place better as a yearling once those accoyo density genetics kick in. She has a sweet personality too! I have a photo of her as a yearling standing stock still while an orphaned cria tried to nurse her! Yes! She had a gorgeous black male, sooo soft. I think he is going to be special! She has been an excellent mother. Unfortunately, before I could rebreed her to Cosmo (Orland Cloud boy Cloud Pleaser), Cosmo had an extremely bad compound fracture happen in a hind leg. He was not a good candidate for recovery do to his size and leader of the pack nature and had to be put down. She would make an excellent offspring with our TB male Seismic who has the most potent black and grey genetics! He also puts out excellent fiber. His main competiton at the shows he went to was Jacob Black who shares about 3/4 of his genetics. Jacob Black went to a heck of a lot more shows though. Anyway, We will probably be keeping Polson, Cosmo's only offspring on our farm. He is looking incredibly nice and is TB. 9/2/2020: Cahlua had a modern dark rose grey/maybe silver grey male from breeding with Seismic. Long staple and REALLY nice crimp on this one at just a few days old. His name? Hue Jackman! Jack has a very mellow, sweet personality. Hue Jackman sold in spring of 2021 as a future breeding male. Since she has thrown black when bred to black, let us see what she does when bred to our grey Primus. They have similar large, sturdy frames and their fiber should compliment eachother. YES! Cahlua birthed a light silver grey (maybe going to rose grey) from her breeding with Primus. We named this super friendly, gorgeous boy Primus' Prime Time as he was born in the morning of a day that was going to hit 95 and several hot days after. So it was great timing on her part. She is selling pregnant by Seriously Silver.
