BIG NEWS!! Chieftain returned to the PAOBA Breedes Showcase with four offspring that took blue ribbons and TWO Championship banners! In 2009 Chieftain was the Color Champion at the PAOBA Breeders Showcase...and Judge's Choice! With a Color Champion in brown...the oldest one in the championship class...and a Reserve Champion in fawn...the youngest, Chieftain demonstrated he has color, fineness, and density covered. Did we mention he was also the Get of Sire winner...go Chieftain! Another Blue. Chieftain has a strong, square frame with soft, bright fiber everywhere. Want crimp? He has it from his top knot literally down to his knees! His dam is our finest fibered colored female and his sire is the legend-in-the-making Six time Color Champion Peruvian Lancaster. What a great match-up this was for color and fiber! Chieftain's numbers from his 2007 histogram are MOST impressive, and even more impressive is his ability to maintain those wonderful fiber stats. Chieftain has earned Blue ribbons and Banners as a juvenile, yearling, and mature male. With seventeen Blues he has been judged by just about everyone and all agree...this is one awesome male. Chieftain has proven his ability to maintain his outstanding fleece characteristics even as a breeding male. During the Spring 2009 show season, he added two Color Championships (PAOBA and MAPACA), one Reserve Color Championship (Nationals), and the Judge's Choice Award at PAOBA. Judge Mike Safley compared him to a juvenile for the Championship at MAPACA and declared him the finest in the class. What a great compliment for a three year old! This is a herdsire you will want to breed to both your dark and light colors for fineness, density, and crimp. Judges put him at the front of the line for his combination of fineness and density. Isn't that what it's all about? ADD ANOTHER BLUE IN 2011: Chieftain placed first once again at MAPACA...this time in the fleece show. No wonder. His fourth histogram was almost identical to his first histogram! That makes 18 Blues in halter and fleece classes. INTEREST FOR SALE Here is a rare opportunity to add a marquee male to your herd. We would love to give Chieftain the chance to broaden his exposure to other parts of the country. He has been a valuable asset to our breeding program and our farm income, and feel his show career and quality of offspring now warrant another farm to help promote him with marketing and offspring. A male of this caliber typically commands a much higher sales price, but with our decision to retire from the breeding and sales part of our business, Chieftain needs a new home to continue his legacy of outstanding production. If he meets your breeding needs, this could be the male that increases your farm exposure, creates income from breeding fees, or alleviates your own breeding costs.

Morning Sky's Sweet Thing is the first born of our lovely award winning female, Silvercloud Farm's Danielle, and multiple award winner and El Nino son, ScF Mint D'Or. "Sweetie" has the stunning, typey Accoyo head of her sire, the exact fleece characteristics of her dam, and the excellent conformation of both. She carries volumes of lofty, bright fleece, and has great staple length. She also has Danielle's calm temperament, is very inquisitive, and easily handled. Sweetie's notable pedigree includes such influential alpacas as: Caligula 3P Sunipani Bueno 5P Inca's Ransom Magnum Gold El Nino Evander and PCA Santolina, who was known for carrying her fineness to an advanced age - a trait which is obviously being continued on by Danielle and Sweetie. Sweetie gave birth to her first cria in the spring of 2011 - Morning Sky's Delaware (named for one of the Indian tribes that formerly populated Mercer County, in which we live) - a white male by Chieftain. Del is conformationally correct, has fleece with a VERY soft handle and lovely architecture, and a beautiful head that made him the "pretty boy" of that spring's crias. Sweetie's second cria is the first for our multi-Champion herdsire, Morning SKY's Taddeo, and it is a beautiful white female. Morning SKY's Piccolo has square conformation, incredibly dense and very bright fleece with tiny little bundles. At her first show at 1.5 years of age, she placed second, standing above the offspring of a well known, high dollar herdsire. It is only because she has blue eyes that Sweetie has never been shown (although she's so nice that Bob really wanted to). With a careful choice of herdsire matches, she will be an asset to any breeding program that is focusing on fine fleece.
