Congratulations to our friend Annie Hunt of Willow Wind Farm, for acquiring a share of Avatar. Please contact Annie about Avatar breedings. We are thrilled with Avatar's newest creations - including Delphi's Avella - The 2017 National grey female halter Champion at just over 6 months of age. And congratulations to Avella's new owners, Debbie and Dale Hoerl; Alpacas of Moose Creek Ranch! Many more Avatar crias will be arriving in 2018. Avatar has beautiful crimpy, dense, and fine fleece, but what separates him from other outstanding herd sires, is his phenomenal handle - due to both exceptional uniformity, and very bright, low scale fiber. Cameron Holt, AOBA Senior Judge Trainer and world wide fiber expert, gave the following scores to Avatar's fleece: Fineness: 15 out of 15 ; Handle: 5 out of 5 ; Uniformity of micron: 7 out of 8 ; Crimp: 8.5 out of 10 ; Density: 3 out of 5 ; Brightness: 8 out of 10 ; Lack of medullation: 8 out of 10. His daughter Delphi's Lailah won Color Champion Grey Female Fleece at the 2012 Nationals. His son Delphi's Rama won a Blue Ribbon at the 2012 National Fleece Show, (and then brown Color Champion at the Tenessee Waltz Fleece Show). These two Avatar kids insured Delphi's win of the 2012 Classic Cup for fleece, at the 2012 Nationals. Another standout offspring is Kanaka - an 8X Champion with 1% EPD's in both SD and >30; and 2% EPD's in fineness. While we don't participate in the program, we agree Avatar's son Kanaka's EPD stats do reflect his sire's strong suits. Avatar's many other crias now include Six AOBA National Halter or Fleece Champions, several Futurity Champions, and many many many Multi-Champion and Blue Ribbon show winners, in addition to the winners of many Special Awards, such as the Best Brightness award at the National Fleece Show - the first time this award has been awarded to a grey. Please enjoy viewing some of his lovely crias and their fleeces, shown below.

Giclée is very much like her silver gray sire, Snowmass Nova's Plutonium. She has very dense feeling, soft handling fleece. Her blanket color is a uniform silver gray. She has her black mom's calm disposition. As you can see, Gigi was a gorgeous young lady, a show stopper! And oh my she has produced show stoppers too. Two stunning Avatar crias - Take a look at her son Avion's fleece and his page

See Giclee's son's Page Here

he is one of the best crias Delphi has ever had. Congratulations to A Paca Fun Farm for purchasing Avion - who then went on to win Reserve Champion at the National Fleece Show! Thank you to Alpenglow alpacas for leasing Gigi to us, and then allowing us to add her to our herd. GiGi is a great Mom. GiGi was then bred to Golden Legend, an El Nino son, for an August 2012 cria, and had a gorgeous brown male cria, In his one showing he placed 1st in a class of 6! We have bred Gigi back to Avatar and she is due this summer with a cria that could be yours. Pretty exciting possibilities - this is a proven combination.
