Gathering Storm is an absolutely incredible male with a pedigree second to none. He is a top son of the phenomenal stud MFI Peruvian Jericho who is only available for limited restricted breedings at Magical Farms (and at $7500!!). We feel very fortunate to be able to co-own this monster stud with Magical Farms. He joins our 16 other herdsires, giving us the premier "Southern Gentlemen" in the Southeast. Jericho, his father, is a son of Peruvian Dakotia, with a record of show success second to none. Gathering Storms' mother is CPeruvian Genny, one of Magical's most successful females, and the mother of MFI Peruvian Gladiator. In one stud, we have some of the most famous bloodlines in the alpaca industry; Jericho, Dakotia, Peruvian Bueno, and Peruvian Don Julio. And our guy is no slouch either, he won 6 Blue ribbons and 3 Color Champions - all in major shows in the halter class. His first few cria arrived in late Spring 2007 and they were absolutely incredible. Storm will be standing stud at High Meadow from December 1, 2010 until May 31, 2011.

AOA# 1057461 Medium Fawn

Dam: MFI Dessert

Service Sire: Snowmass XXXNight Sky

Snowmass XXXNight Sky was aquired by Southern Estate Alpacas from Snowmass Alpacas in November of 2010 to begin our breeding program with the Skinner's genetics that they have been perfecting for nearly 3 decades. We felt like this would be the best possible way to "jump-start" our foundation and begin our farms legacy with incredible crias in our first year! After extensive research, we located Snowmass XXXNight Sky knowing he is a Snowmass XXXtreme son who was awarded Herdsire of the Year for both 2006 and 2007 and sold for $250,000. If you have never heard of Southern Estate Alpacas just wait a year or two and you will thanks to what this guy will do for us! What attracted us to XXXNight Sky was not only the Snowmass genetics that adds crimp, coverage, consistancy and density but his sire is medium brown and his dam is true black! His dam is also a Snowmass Invincible daughter who is a replica of the Grand Dam Snowmass Marlee Love. This cross with Snowmass XXXtreme has brought out the best of his white lineage yet you know there is an unleashed XXXtreme potential for some of the finest color genetics to be tapped into with this stud! "He is unique and he is one in a million" Julie Skinner-Snowmass Alpacas Make sure you take a really good look at his certificate because if you add him top half of your cria's certificate you can have anything on the bottom half and you will certainly have a very marketable alpaca! When you can add names like Hemingway, XXXtreme, Legacy Gold, Invincible, Maree Love, Peruvian lace and Ambrosian Sky to a pedigree with one breeding you have increased the value ten fold. Most alpacas do well to have one or two of these names and look at what you will be adding to just the top half! He possesses extraordinary poise, along with a regal presence in his walk due to his solid bone structure and upright conformation, which comes from both his Sire and Dam. Night Sky has just produced his first three of 26 crias due this season on our far<--description-->
