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.

Socks finally had a healthy cria in 2023. She apparently doesn't take up calcium and D as well as others and refused leave the barn for half days on great pasture. The result was prolaspe vagina and then prolaspe uterus. Then 2 cria with mild CA. Different studs. Her girl Shayla also has a superfine crimpy fleece. Socks allowed Shayla to nurse even after a 5 month weaning which resulted in her current pregnancy being small in the beginning but has now caught up.

Description

Update: I've decided to keep Shayla and her dam as they are not related to our herd as much as the other darks that are for sale. Her future offspring will be offered up though. She will be bred late summer to Preacher or Polson or perhaps Challenger's Code of Conduct if he has a growth spurt! Shayla has the same buttery handle of fleece that sold me on her mother. Years before I had been shown a fleece sample of her dam Natashenka (Socks) and I marveled not only at the length of staple, high frequency crimp, but at the extreme soft softness of the dark rose grey. I remember folding it up in my palm and squeezing. I remembered that feel for several years. When I was visiting that farm again I asked about her and actually met her. A very calm, friendly, easy to handle girl was brought in with a rambunctious female cria. I purchased both with hopes of making more rose grey. Shayla is from a pretty potent grey and black making line of males which did overcome the strong brown genetics from Socks. I would definetly put our Champion Grey Primus on her late summer 2025 if ready, for that grey. Polson would do an awesome black as well. I'm planning waaay ahead and at the same time not too far ahead for the farm. I'd like to get the herd down from 44 to around 24 before spring and that includes keeping all my oldies as I'm afraid a sudden change would cause a downward spiral. So, I'm letting some young ones go knowing that I will be seeing their parents to their end of life. If there is no price listed it is just because I have researched pricing for this animal yet or will be putting in a package. I will be posting photos soon-she was going to stay her so no photo shoots were done for sale. In regards to her lower placements at the shows, we knew she wouldn't place well simply because she wasn't shorn having been born Sept. 18th in Northern Wisconsin. We wanted her to be companion with our one other girl Samantha. Samantha was shorn (born in July) and is not as fine and was small for age but did better by to placements in each class-which is why we really try to have earlier cria!
