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.

Description

Like father like son. Avatar's Avalance sire is the multiple championship winning rose grey herdsire Avatar from Delphi Alpacas. Avalance has his dad's beautiful fine, dense, and crimpy rose grey fiber. Also taking after his sire, Lance has done very well in the show ring in large competitive classes. 4 shows and 4 ribbons and a 4th place at Nationals in a class of 15!!! People are first drawn to Avalance by his gorgeous color. Head to toe coverage on this grey boy. Strong grey genetics have come through on his first crias. Four crias in the ring and all of them took home ribbons. One took a second place to a Snowmass Cria! Look for more of his crias to continue parading through the show ring. Avalance is very fine for color, with a 22.4 micron at age 5 years and his latest numbers are in - at age 10 he's at 24.0 microns! That's just a 1.6 micron increase in 5 years! Simply awesom! Passing on fineness to his crias is his M.O. If you are looking to soften up on your darker colors, this is the Herdsire for the job. Microns on some of his greys are ranging from 17-19!! Here's your chance to acquire some of Avatar's great genetics!
