Dam: Irene's Abigail
Abby is a beautifully built, proven black female with the densest and crimpiest fiber. She definitely has a great look and is very correct in her conformation carrying herself well. We had a hand-spinner at our farm during Alpaca Farm Days and she loved Abby’s fiber and said it was the nicest one she spun. At AuSable where we bought her they told us that a particular spinner always came looking for fleece to purchase and Abby’s was the one she picked out for handle and brightness. And, this was a fleece from Abby as a working mom – gestating and lactating, she still has nice fleece!
Abby comes from award winning Canadian stock that will add great diversity to any farm’s bloodlines. Both her sire, CPeruvian Danile III, and her grandsire, Eastern have sired a number of champion progreny.
One of Abby’s crias, AuSable Valley’s Ascent, is an awesome brown male with fleece, conformation and a head to die for! Ascent hit the show circuit in ’07 and took five blues in all five of his shows. Abby was then bred to Peruvian Zephyrus which produced AuSable’s Ambassador in 2008. Then, Abby was bred to CCNF Silver Vector, 13X Champion and 1st Place Ribbon earner, and she produced a beautiful medium grey male - WFAA Silver Cloud – this past December 2009. We couldn’t decide who to breed her to as we really wanted to breed her to Chocolate Obsession (our multi-champ black herdsire) but we were so happy with this breeding and the beautiful grey cria that she produced that we rebred her again to Silver Vector for a November 2010 cria.

Description
UPDATE: At almost 4 yrs old & the oldest alpaca in the show, Ascent won his 6th blue ribbon at the Southern Select Show 2010! He was again considered for the championship.
Ascent has a cria on the ground & he has won two blues so far!
AuSable Valley's Ascent has exquisite fleece and solid conformation with very nice head style & full coverage. His fleece is crimpy and soft with lots of staple and bundling.
Ascent started how show career with five blue ribbons & a banner in his first five shows:
2007 North American Alpaca Show
Judge Vanderbosch commented "soft handle, nice character, good density, perfect conformation.
2007 MAPACA Jubilee
Judge McCloud said: Ascent had good overall size development for his age and considerable testicular development. She appreciated his strong frame and correctness & that he was "packing lots of fleece with impressive staple, even character and fineness"
Ascent took another blue! He bested a big class at Empire where Judge Timmerman said "I was impressed by all aspects of this boy, he is put together very well, perfect form, proportions are correct, substance of bone, bite, a stunning male with stunning fleece carrying softness, brightness, excellent crimp and excellent length of staple, very even fleece characteristics across the body."
Ascent was awarded a blue at VT. He was in VERY close consideration for the reserve championship. Judge Burhman commented that she wished she could have given two reserves because he is such a nice male".
Ascent won his 5th blue in 5 tries at the 2007 NJ show and topped off the year with a R Color Championship! Judge Barboza-"well packaged, flawless conformation, nice combination of staple length, density and uniform character throughout his fleece, incredibly soft handle and great brightness."
Ascent's breeding fee is now $2000. Now 1/2 price at $1,000! Please ask about a discount for breeding to your banner winning female!
