We are very excited about the future with this outstanding male. Lance is a total package: great presence, handsome head, typey/strong conformation, and beautifully lustrous and crimpy black fiber! Take a look at his impressive histogram! This ultra-fine fleece would be exceptional on a white fleece, let alone a black one! Lance makes available genetics from some of the finest black and grey males in the US today, including Peruvian Silverado and CPeruvian Jaxon. Lance's first crias have hit the ground. Most are darker than the dam and most are TB. They have the crimpy, bright fiber we'd hoped to get. Peruvian Black Lance stands stud for outside breedings at Avalon Farm Alpacas from June through October. Make your reservation(s) now for 2008 Summer and Fall breedings in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula! Ask about Avalon Farm's Special Program of DISCOUNTED "CUSTOMER" AND "PRIORITY" STUD FEES!.

Black Velvet is a real beauty! She is conformationally sound, with wonderful fiber characteristics. Her fine fiber is crimpy with beautiful brightness...and she gets better every day! Velvet's color pedigree includes grey, so we were eager to see what she could produce when bred to our black Color Champion, Peruvian Black Lance. Like Lance's other crias, this was another home run...a true black female, Avalon's Black Ravenna. Given the time of year, we decided to move Velvet and our other unbred females to a Spring/Summer breeding cycle. We are excited about our young true black, Color Champion, herdsire, Our Peruvian Black Jag. We have bred Velvet to Jag and this match should produce an excellent black or grey cria in August 0f 2008! See more about Ravenna, Velvet's true black 2006 female cria, in her separate AN listing.

True black from two true black parents, Jag carries color genetics deep with black and grey. In addition to the rich black color, his fiber has wonderful hand and architecture...a fabulous combination! We purchased Jag to be the perfect complement to daughters coming from our three champion colored herdsires, Snowmass King Crimson, Lace's Peruvian Black Lance,and Avalon's Peruvian Granger. We've already seen the outstanding daughters coming from Crimson and Lance, so we knew we had to find a male worthy of them. We believe Jag is the answer. Unfortunately, Jag was not shown as a juvenile. Tucked away in a back pasture of a large farm, Jag went unnoticed. Well, that has changed! Since we purchased Jag, we have been eager to get him into the showring. He "came home" in early March 2007 and, as a yearling, had his first experience with a halter and lead. Only days later he was in his first show. Jag gained confidence and it has shown in the ring. He glides and prances as he enters the ring, capturing the judges' attention. NOTE! Jag came into his own at the Great Midwest Alpaca Festival where he was chosen as the 1st Place True Black Yearling Male. Judge Jude Anderson then selected him as the Black Color Champion, noting that his fleece was the "finest with good crimp, and lock, even from skin to tip, well covered, conformationally sound with great style"! If you are looking to find a top quality, true black male to breed to your girls, this is definitely a male you'll want to check out. Visit us and see for yourself.
