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.

Vicenza was the very first cria born on our farm. She is a truly special girl with superlative fleece and confirmation evidenced by her first place finishes at MAPACA and PAOBA. Vincenza was only entered in these two halter shows but we plan to show her fleeces as she begins are breeding career. She is already an outstanding fiber producer. She was shorn at 2 months of age and still produced 8.2 pounds of fleece as a cria in only 10 months of growth. Vicenza is bred to our Charleston who has produced only 100% show winning offspring. It will be exciting what this pairing will produce. It should be black, super dense, soft, fine, bright, and crimpy.
