Charleston is our beautiful true black herdsire. He has proven himself with very solid performances in the show ring as a juvenile and yearling and his adult life has been even more impressive with first place fleece show finishes and the arrival of his Championship producing crias. Charleston’s halter show career finished with a second place behind eventual national champion Zeph’s Cormorant and nearly took the reserve champion spot essentially finishing third in a class of 41 black males at PAOBA. He continues to maintain an outstanding soft handling bright fleece even at almost 6 years of age. His two 1st place fleece show finishes at MAPACA and PAOBA in 2008 are representative of the quality that he possess for the future of the fiber industry. Equally exciting is that Charleston’s 2008 MAPACA fleece win placed him above the MAPACA 2006 halter color champion, quite an incredible achievement. We think that Charleston is a great breeding value and posses the qualities of a truly elite black fleece with outstanding consistency from year to year. Most importantly Charleston's crias are here and they are top notch. His first two crias already have four fleece championships between them. Charleston had some big shoes to fill. We bred him to three dams that had just had crias (1st, 2nd, and 5th at MAPACA) to multiple championship winning herdsires Snowmass Invincible and SCF Lucky Luciano. The amazing thing is that Charleston created darker versions of these first three pairings with amazingly similar fleece quality and conformation. We think that Charleston is an outstanding breeding value.A number of his crias are here at Stone Meadow Alpacas have done well and halter ring and even better in the fleece arena. You are welcome to stop by and see these wonderful little fleece machines and of course to see Charleston. Bring your females along for a drive-by breeding at a 50% discount.

Brigantin’s first cria was an outstanding bay black female who is absolutely buttery soft, dense, and crimpy. We were not wrong as she took blue ribbons at both MAPACA and PAOBA in 2007. Absolutely incredible! Brigantin’s second cria was born in the spring of 2008 and garnered 4th and 5th place ribbons at PAOBA and MAPACA in 2009. She is a finer, more uniform, and true black version of her older sister and was able to add a Championship feece banner at PAOBA this year as well as a Reserve Championship banner at MAPACA. Her third cria was another beautiful true cria but this time a male. A full brother to Galena he has all of her fleece characterisitcs and then some. This boy followed in his sisters footsteps winning a Reserve Championship at MAPACA and Championship at PAOBA for black fleece. Oh yes he also placed first in the true black halter class at PAOBA as yearling. Brigantin is not only a great mom but is also a great fiber producer. She produced 8.4 pounds of fleece while carrying her first cria. Did we mention that this same fleece that placed second at PAOBA behind none other than our own herdsire Charleston. Quite impressive for a pregnant female. Charleston is the sire of Brigantin's second and third cria and we were so pleased with both of these offspring that we rebred Brigantin to Charleston. We are anticipating another soft, lusterous, and crimpy true black cria from this pairing. Brigantin is a demonstrated producer of show quality offspring in both halter and fleece and truly part of the foundation of the future of black. Brigantin just delviered her fith cria a true black female that is reminiscent of her older full brother and Championship winning brother Matrix.
